TriPollar skin tightening
TriPollar skin tightening
Regen TriPollar treatment in our clinic offers you affordable, convenient and pain-free aesthetic treatments that tighten skin, improve cellulite appearance and contour and shape all areas of the body.
TriPollar Technology
TriPollar Radio Frequency (RF) technology is an innovative, proprietary 3rd generation RF technology. TriPollar overcomes the limitations of previous mono-polar and bi-polar technologies. Simple to use and extremely efficient, TriPollar treatments deliver immediate visible body and facial contouring effects from the first treatment – and long-lasting results without surgery or downtime.
TriPollar treatments effectively:
-
Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
-
Firm and rejuvenate the skin
-
Contour the facial skin
-
Sculpt the body and reduce unwanted fat deposits
-
Reduce the appearance of cellulite
-
Improve the appearance of stretch marks
How TriPollar Works
TriPollar technology painlessly delivers focused and optimal radio-frequency (RF) energy to the skin surface and to subcutaneous fat layers. Controlled energy is delivered via three or more electrodes and limited to the treatment area. This focused delivery results in immediate visible results. For improved results it is recommended to undergo a series of treatments.
Targeted facial treatment regenerates collagen fibers in the dermis layer. Targeted body treatments shrink fat cells in the hypodermis layer and accelerate collagen regeneration.
Treat Delicate Areas
TriPollar technology enables treatment of fine lines and very delicate areas of the face without causing damage or pain. These include areas around the lips (peri oral) and around the eyes (peri orbital). Heat generated during the treatment causes the collagen fibers, which are the key structural components of the skin to contract, resulting in immediate skin tightening. Simultaneously, fibroblast cells which are responsible for collagen production begin to produce new collagen. This new collagen replaces your older skin and gives you younger, smoother and firmer skin texture. Treatment is a quick and convenient ‘walk-in walk-out’ procedure delivering immediate and long-term wrinkle results. So say goodbye to wrinkles and say hello to younger and firmer looking skin.
There are three types of wrinkles: dynamic, file lines and fold. TriPollar Technology have been clinically proven to effectively treat all types of wrinkles.
-
Dynamic wrinkles - formed due to repeated facial expressions. Every time we smile, laugh or frown, our skin creases or folds in the same way. This results in wrinkles known as crow’s feet, forehead creases and mouth frown. These wrinkles are difficult to treat because even after the most effective treatment, you continue to have the same facial expressions that the body will ‘remember’ and eventually create new wrinkles or reinforce old ones.
-
Fine wrinkles - superficial wrinkles seen on dry crepe paper skin. They appear mostly on the cheeks and removal is relatively simple.
-
Skin fold wrinkles - wrinkles that develop within the nasolabial fold (nasolabial derives from the Lain nasus for "nose" and labium for "lip") due to the sagging of the cheeks. More commonly known as smile or laugh lines, the wrinkles go from our noses to our chins and look like big parentheses around our mouths.
Collagen Regeneration
The elastic fibers of the skin, collagen and elastin, are produced by fibroblasts. As they are heated, they contract and collagen strands are pulled closer resulting in immediately tightened skin. The deep heating effect in turn accelerates the fat cell metabolism to augment collagen regeneration over the full treatment course. The desired result: tighter, younger looking skin immediately and long-term skin remodeling.
Fat reduction
Heating the fat cells accelerates metabolism and causes them to shrink. The rise in temperature forces fat cells to secrete fatty acids (liquid fat), which are disposed via the blood and lymph system.The desired result: fat and circumference reduction and minimized cellulite appearance.
FAQ
What are the advantages of focused RF energy?
TriPollar treatments use three or more electrodes, with the RF energy focused and centered between the three electrodes. This controls and limits the delivery of energy to the treatment area, for excellent efficacy results and immediate visible results from the 1st treatment. The focused energy also enables the use of relatively low power for tissue heating, resulting in a safe, pain-free, very pleasant treatment experience.
How high does skin temperature reach during a TriPollar treatment?
The objective of the procedure is to reach a skin temperature of between 40? and 42? C and maintain it for the indicated exposure time. The skin temperature is monitored throughout the procedure using the supplied non-contact infrared thermometer.
What kind of results can I expect to deliver with the TriPollar treatments?
Clinical trials have demonstrated average reduced tummy circumference of 4.5 cm ± 2.7; average reduced thigh circumference of 2.4 cm ±2.0; average reduced buttocks circumference of 3.1 cm ±1.7;and average reduced arm circumference of 2.1 ± 0.7 cm.
How can I obtain the best clinical results?
In order to obtain positive clinical results it is important to reach the optimal combination of skin temperature and exposure time – the TriPollar endpoint. Once the required temperature is achieved the goal is to maintain that temperature for a few minutes, depending on the reaction of the skin and the size of the treatment area. Reaching the optimal temperature is sometimes accompanied by slight erythema and edema.
What are the most common side effects of TriPollar treatments?
There is a possibility of erythema and edema appearing after the TriPollar treatment session. Typically, these symptoms are transient and will disappear within two hours. In rare cases, slight erythema and edema could persist for between 1 and 2 days. In case of excessive erythema or edema, soothing agents can be applied.
How does the body dispose of the fat after TriPollar treatments?
The TriPollar treatment selectively heats the fat cells in the deep and superficial adipose layers simultaneously. Heating the fat cells increases their natural metabolism, resulting in increased secretion of fatty acids into the surrounding extra-cellular space. The heating also increases the blood circulation in the area, accelerating metabolism that physically helps the blood and lymphatic system dispose of the fatty acids naturally.
Is there an enhanced heat sensation over bony areas?
There is a possibility of enhanced heat sensation near bony areas. This is because skin is thinner adjacent to bones. However this is tolerated well by patients.
Does the size of the treatment area determine the type of applicator used?
Yes, the size of the treatment area determines which applicator is used. The large applicator should not be used on the face and neck as it is intended for large areas and longer treatment time. The medium-sized applicator is designed to treat smaller treatment areas of the body and is suitable for the face and neck. The apollo device enables treatment of very small facial areas using the small applicator.
Is there a need for cooling during the TriPollar treatment?
There is no need to allow for cooling with TriPollar treatments. Pollogen has developed an electronic control mechanism that rotates between the three electrodes to prevent overheating of any one electrode. This makes it a safer treatment protocol.
Why is glycerin used during TriPollar treatments?
Glycerin was found to be the most suitable material due to its high resistance to RF. It allows the RF to penetrate to the deep layers while protecting the epidermal layer from becoming overheated or harmed. Glycerin is also widely used in the cosmetics industry as a safe and beneficial component. Glycerin also helps the applicator glide comfortably over the skin and keeps it feeling cool.
