Common Misconceptions About RF Devices

Misconception: The deeper the RF penetrates, the better the results.

Answer: False

When the temperature of the dermis rises above 40°C, fibroblasts (cells in the dermis) are stimulated to produce collagen and elastin. The goal of RF treatments targeting skin elasticity is to deliver thermal energy to the dermis, raising its temperature to induce the production of collagen and elastin. The dermis is typically located at an average depth of 3mm in the skin.

Therefore, the key to the effectiveness of RF treatments for facial firmness is how accurately the thermal energy can be delivered to the dermis at this 3mm depth.

Research shows that when collagen is heated to 41-42°C, specific amino acids such as glycine, proline, alanine, and hydroxyproline are activated. This leads to the formation and function of Type I and III collagen. The heating effect of RF energy alters the shape, length, and diameter of collagen fibers to ensure proper formation. It has been demonstrated that heating skin tissue to 42°C induces the production of collagen and elastin.

Misconception: Lower frequencies penetrate deeper and are more effective.

Answer: For Bipolar Devices - False / For Monopolar Devices - True

There are three types of RF technologies: monopolar, unipolar, and bipolar. The belief that lower frequencies penetrate deeper is true for monopolar and unipolar RF devices, but not for bipolar RF devices. In bipolar systems, the depth of energy penetration is determined by the distance between the electrodes. Energy penetrates to half the distance between the two electrodes.

In bipolar devices, the depth is not influenced by the frequency or the power output but by the spacing between the electrodes. Bipolar devices are known for more precise and focused energy delivery since the treatment area is ideally positioned between the electrodes. The penetration depth is approximately half the distance between the electrodes.

For instance, UltraTune is a bipolar device with a 6mm distance between its six electrodes, meaning the energy penetrates approximately 3mm. In bipolar RF, once the depth is determined, the energy concentration depends on the frequency, with higher frequencies focusing the energy more effectively. The idea that lower frequencies are better for deeper penetration applies only to monopolar and unipolar devices. However, it is a misconception to assume that bipolar devices also benefit from lower frequencies.

Misconception: What’s the difference between low and high frequencies?

Answer: Low and high frequencies heat the skin in different ways.

In the frequency range of 0.5MHz to 3MHz, the waveform is broader, repeating slowly over time. This slow waveform prevents water molecules in the skin from rotating, which generates heat by resisting the movement of the skin's molecules. This is called conductive heating.

In contrast, frequencies above 10MHz create a narrow waveform that repeats rapidly. This causes water molecules in the skin to rotate quickly, generating heat through dielectric heating.

Dielectric heating, which occurs at frequencies above 10MHz, involves friction from the rapid rotation of water molecules. The advantage of dielectric heating is its ability to provide quick and uniform heating. Unlike lower frequencies that rely on skin resistance to generate heat, UltraTune uses a frequency of 40.68MHz to rotate water molecules in the dermis, resulting in targeted heat without energy loss.

Thus, devices operating at 0.5MHz to 3MHz require higher power output to generate sufficient heat, while UltraTune’s high frequency (40.68MHz) uses only the power necessary to rotate water molecules, minimizing energy waste.

Misconception: Is higher power output always better?

Answer: Not necessarily – three factors need to be considered.

While higher power output does release more energy, the key to effective RF treatments lies in how much energy reaches the dermis. In bipolar RF devices, even with high power output, if the frequency is low, less energy is delivered to the dermis. Therefore, the effectiveness of an RF device is not solely determined by power output but also by considering frequency, electrode spacing, and power together. Each factor plays a role:

Frequency: Determines energy concentration (dependent on skin impedance)
Electrode spacing: Controls the target depth
Power output: Governs the total energy delivered

UltraTune features a frequency of 40.68MHz, an electrode spacing of 6mm, and a power output of 10.4W.

Assuming the electrode spacing remains the same, even if the output power is 50W but the frequency is only 0.5MHz, the amount of energy delivered to the dermis is comparable to a device with 1.5W output power and a frequency of 40.68MHz. This highlights the importance of considering both output power and frequency when determining the actual amount of energy transmitted to the dermis. For example, in a scenario where the output power is 50W and the frequency is 0.5MHz, the subject's skin resistance was measured at 6,640Ω. In contrast, with an output power of 1.5W and a frequency of 40.68MHz, the skin resistance was measured at 250Ω.

Important Note: Higher power outputs can increase the risk of side effects. The goal of RF treatments is to heat the dermis to temperatures between 40°C and 45°C to stimulate collagen remodeling. If the power output is too high at a frequency of 40.68MHz, the skin temperature could exceed 45°C, leading to burns or other adverse effects. UltraTune is optimized to deliver energy based on frequency and electrode spacing, rather than simply increasing power output.

Maintaining a skin temperature between 40°C and 45°C encourages collagen production and skin tightening, while exceeding 45°C can lead to burns and post-treatment discomfort.
