RF Skin Heating Aesthetic Medical Device
RF Skin Heating Aesthetic Medical Device
Device Purpose
Used for spa-like treatment: clinically shown to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Device Features
Treats skin to specific temperature within 1°C
Uses capacitive heating with specialised polymer to keep more energy deposited at skin surface
Hand piece designed for use with existing, on the market, RF generator
Device currently on the market
