What is the difference between monopolar radio frequency, bipolar radio frequency, and multipolar radio frequency?

RF radio frequency technology has been widely used in the medical beauty industry for nearly 20 years. Based on its non-invasiveness and good therapeutic effect, it has been loved by dermatologists and consumers so far.

Since the birth of the first radio frequency treatment device in 2002, radio frequency technology has also undergone several generations of changes. The overall development trend is to improve the controllability of penetration depth, and greatly enhance the safety and comfort of treatment.

So what exactly is radio frequency?

Radiofrequency is an electromagnetic wave with energy and penetrating power, radio frequency passes through the epidermis and reaches the dermis, and the electromagnetic energy is converted into heat energy, which burns the dermis mildly and controllably, destroying the existing( slightly aged) dermis. Collagen, thereby stimulating the skin's repair mechanism to produce new collagen to replace collagen damaged by heat.

The role of radio frequency

The biggest role of radio frequency is "anti-aging", which is applied to facial wrinkle removal, improvement of skin sagging, and improvement of facial contours.

Unipolar

The positive and negative poles do not act on the same interface. The energy radiates from the epidermis from top to bottom to the subcutaneous. During the transmission process, the energy is easily lost. When it penetrates into the dermis, the energy is not enough to increase the value of the collagen in the dermis, so the effect will not be significant. If it needs to penetrate into the deeper cortex, the power needs to be greatly increased, so that the pain will be stronger, and it is more likely to cause safety hazards.

bipolar

The positive and negative poles are placed parallel to the skin, and the positive and negative poles of the two poles are mutually transformed at a very high frequency, forming a high-frequency oscillating electromagnetic field, which acts on the skin, and within the coverage of the effective electromagnetic field, heat is generated and collagen is promoted. Protein reorganization and regeneration. The main disadvantage of this technology is that it's RF energy cannot penetrate deep into the skin, so the skin-tightening effect is not obvious.

multipolar

Most of the multi-polar radios on the market are also bipolar radios in a strict sense, which is equivalent to the superimposed use of multiple bipolar radios.
