Among the highlights of the segment, Fractional Radiofrequency has been gaining more and more ground because it is a versatile treatment that covers different goals.
In today's article, we bring important information on how this technique has delivered results in the treatment of skin wrinkles, and how it can help stimulate collagen at different ages.
FRACTIONAL RADIOFREQUENCY FOR SKIN WRINKLES: AN INTRODUCTION
Based on electromagnetic waves and superficial perforation of the epidermis, the technology prompts the body to trigger a healing process.
Through the microneedles, a thermal effect is produced that directs the heat, protects the most superficial layer of tissue and stimulates a mild inflammatory process.
Once triggered, this inflammation activates and forms new elastin and collagen fibers, producing a rejuvenating and strengthening effect.
In confronting and delaying the appearance of skin wrinkles, Fractional Radiofrequency proves its effectiveness by accelerating results. At the same time, its application also treats aging, stretch marks and acne scars in general.
SKIN WRINKLES: ASSESSMENT, RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE DIFFERENT TYPES AND CAUSES
The categorization of a patient's skin wrinkles follows an assessment protocol capable of defining how deep the problem goes and the nature of the situation.
In general terms, the necessary assessment sorts the findings into distinct groups:
SKIN WRINKLES: DYNAMIC versus STATIC
They distinguish the stage that the development of skin wrinkles has reached, and are influenced by genetic factors, skin type and sun exposure, for example. When considered dynamic, skin wrinkles are expression lines, easily noticeable and arising from repetitive movements in the facial structure.
Static skin wrinkles, on the other hand, tend to become more prominent over the years, remaining clearly visible even when the face is at rest.
SKIN WRINKLES: GRAVITATIONAL versus MIXED
The first group includes wrinkles caused by the natural laxity of the skin during aging, combined with the effect of gravity.
Mixed wrinkles, on the other hand, include those triggered by the combined action of gravity and increased skin laxity.
SO, WHEN IS RF THE BEST OPTION FOR A PATIENT WITH SKIN WRINKLES?
Besides being versatile among treatments for skin wrinkles, Fractional Radiofrequency delivers good results for most of the main types of skin wrinkles, including the deepest ones. Among the many possible types, we highlight five of the most common:
NASOLABIAL SKIN WRINKLES:
This type of skin wrinkle, also called "smile lines," sits between the nose and the mouth. It results from muscle contraction and gravity, and gives the face an older, heavier and less harmonious look.
PERIORBITAL SKIN WRINKLES:
This type of skin wrinkle, the popular "crow's feet," creates folds of skin near the eyes and is unavoidable, but it can be softened. Its development speeds up as a result of abrupt contractions of the facial muscles, including squinting in the sun.
GLABELLAR SKIN WRINKLES:
Glabellar skin wrinkles are the small crease that appears between the eyebrows, especially during periods of tension, stress and nervousness. They are also influenced by sun exposure without adequate sunscreen, which results in photoaging of the skin.
ATROPHIC SKIN WRINKLES:
This type of skin wrinkles consists of fine lines that appear in different areas of the face, are caused by collagen atrophy and become hard to hide without an aesthetic treatment.
LABIOMENTAL AND INFRALABIAL FOLDS:
They are more pronounced than expression wrinkles on the skin, forming lines and skin displacement resulting from the loosening of the dermis. One of the most frequent subcategories is the one that affects the corners of the mouth and the chin.
In all of these cases, the thermal effect of Fractional Radiofrequency stimulates blood circulation, the formation of new collagen fibers, and thickening and greater strengthening of the skin. What varies, depending on the patient, is the recommended frequency of applications and the number of sessions needed.
3 BENEFITS OF FRACTIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR SKIN WRINKLES
- In the aesthetic field, its application and results come closest to the effects of the fractional CO² laser, a technique developed exclusively by dermatologists.
- It can be applied in any season of the year.
- The effect of more elastic, rejuvenated skin also activates blood circulation and destroys fat cells, with results noticeable for up to four months after application.
MEET TONEDERM'S SPECTRA ARTIS
If superior conductivity and extreme safety are standout factors in themselves, Spectra Artis's fractional technology brings a series of further differentiators that can become allies of your clinic in its treatments:
6 SPECTRA ARTIS DIFFERENTIATORS FOR TREATING SKIN WRINKLES
- In addition to RF, Spectra Artis offers conventional radiofrequency, Plasma Jet and LED therapy options.
- It generates a fast response to treatment for skin wrinkles.
- It offers an approach built on comfort and quality, with the ATP System, which automatically controls the temperature, power and thermal dwell time in the treated area.
- Integrated with a thermometer, it offers a more assertive and precise application than conventional thermometers.
- It incorporates THEX COAT Technology, including tips coated with an insulating material that directs the heat and does not affect surrounding areas.
- You can use Fast Mode, where heating is accelerated and total treatment time is minimized; and Comfort Mode, which reduces nerve stimulation during applications and makes the experience more pleasant for hypersensitive patients.
Now that you are familiar with the thermal effect in collagen stimulation, and with how this technique applies to the many cases of skin aging, it is time to invest fully in this technology.
