Body contouring
Some machines popularly used for body contouring may also be applied for facial rejuvenation. Accent is commonly used for firming up the arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
The Accent and Tenor combine shallow and intense heating by utilizing two types of RF technology—unipolar and bipolar frequencies that produce contouring.
Bipolar frequency concentrates on the top layer of the skin and the current passes through a smaller volume of tissue. This makes it ideal for more delicate areas and helps smoothen wrinkles.
Unipolar frequency penetrates deeper heating to stimulate collagen production to provide overall firming.
Tenor breaks up fatty tissues and removes fat deposits.
The third-generation of RF has the patented name of TriPollar frequency. It uses several electrodes to bring more focused RF into the skin tissue.
The Tripollar RF technology aims the energy at the targeted fat tissues and veers away from burning the other areas. Some establishments call it the Tripollar while the Belo Clinic calls it the Multipollar.
Buse says that the heating from Tenor is stronger than the Multipollar treatment. The latter can be done twice a week.
One can get a facelift with lasting and dramatic results.
