Fractional Radiofrequency is a type of electric and magnetic wave energy that penetrates the different layers of the skin as it is transformed into thermal energy; the heat reaches the dermis inducing an inflammatory response of controlled healing combined with a low density ablative effect in the superficial layers of the skin.
Fractional Radiofrequency energy riches the skin in a fractional, non-homogeneous way, through a disposable piece producing demarcated areas of ablation and coagulation with minimal side effects such as mild to moderate transitory inflammation, erythema and the formation of some mild crusting and scabbing that can last an average of five days.
The immediate effect of this thermal energy on the skin is the degeneration of collagen and activation of fibroblasts that will subsequently produce a new collagen with tissue retraction and improvement of laxity, which markedly improves acne scars.
