The probe for face treatment is designed to specifically treat connective tissue. It works to a depth of half a centimetre, where collagen and elastin fibres are shortened and strengthened and are tightened. At the same time, it also activates their production. The skin is tightened and firmed naturally by increasing the total amount of collagen and elastin in the subcutaneous layer.

Your doctor must place a neutral electrode under your body. Thus, the electrical current from the probe to the neutral electrode passes through the entire body in an indefinable way. This causes unnecessary exposure to the body or part of it, and the energy flow cannot be controlled. There is a risk of unwanted burns or nerve damage.

The device acts on electrically charged particles, especially water molecules. Radio frequency waves cause a change in the electric field, causing the movement of electrically charged particles. This results in a desirable and adequate heating of the tissue. The most efficient radio wave for therapeutic use has the frequency of about 4 MHz. At lower frequencies we do not achieve the desired effect. At higher frequencies there is a risk of tissue damage.

The 4 MHz radio frequency waveform is optimal for therapeutic use. The lower frequency (up to 3 MHz) causes the movement of electrically charged particles through the tissue. Resistance of tissue to mechanical movement of electrically charged particles disrupts the electrolyte balance in the body and can cause complications and unwanted manifestations, while the treatment effect may be inadequate. In contrast, higher frequencies (above 5 MHz) cause the rotation of water molecules and the friction of the molecules generates heat, which rises very sharply. The method is difficult to control and can cause burns.
