Thefractional RF treatment is designed for use in dermatological
procedures for ablation (removal) of soft tissue and resurfacing of
the skin. Thefractional RF allows for a customized approach of
fractional bi-polar RF (radio frequency) energy, allowing all skin
types and locations (except eyelids and lips) to be treated.
Benefits of this treatment include the reduction of wrinkles, skin
laxity, scars, acne scars, textural irregularities, tone, and
superficial skin lesions.
To perform thefractional RF, a unique applicator head and one-time
use treatment tip are added onto the Syneron treatment machine. Due
to the unique nature of the treatment head and the RF delivery, the
majority of the ablation from the procedure occurs under the skin,
as sublative rejuvenation, allowing for less downtime for the
patient, less surface skin removal, and better results than
treatments done with traditional fractional lasers. See the
illustration below to understand the difference between traditional
fractional lasers and thefractional RF. It shows how thefractional
RF goes deeper into the skin and effects the underlying levels, as
opposed to removing more surface skin and damaging the top level.
200 pulses are done with eachfractional RF applicator tip and the
program level (depth and power) can be changed as needed for more
delicate areas. Because of the unique size and shape of the
applicator tip, RF energy is delivered in a non-homogeneous
fractional pattern to dry, non-moisturized skin. This allows some
areas to have less impact than others, which promotes faster
healing.
Matrix RF treatments are most effective when done as a series of
treatments, with at least 3 treatments being completed, usually in
4-6 week intervals. Multiple treatments are needed for full effects
and you will continue to see your improvements develop, becoming
more and more noticable 2-4 months after your series is completed.
This series of treatments can also be combined with other
treatments including FotoFacial, Skin Tightening ST Refirme, Venus
Freeze, and additional procedures done by Dr. Rueckl, to enhance
the effects of thefractional RF, if desired.

Treatment mechanism of Fractional RF
Fractional RF’s microneedle is insulated except 0.3mm of the end of
the needle where the RF comes out.
Fractional RFis different from the laser because electro energy
transforms into thermal energy.
The RF energy from the end of needle transfers energy from its
point circle to nearby areas that causes coagulation and
denaturalization. During the insertion of Fractional RFneedles to
skin, epidermis will get micro holes but will not get a thermal
damage while RF energy is emitted. Thus, it could minimize the side
effects of pigmentation and others.
Three Layer Therapy
Targeting three different target tissue with one single device is
attracting both user and patient
Combination Treatment with Co2 Fractional
Once RF energy is penetrated into the dermis, column of target
tissue in dermis processes to regenerate the skin. After the RF
microneedle treatment, CO2 fractional laser is irradiating on
epidermal area. Since light energy turns into thermal energy on a
skin surface as shown in the picture, the thermal energy spreads
and expands its area from the irradiation spot to its circle
surroundings. Then, combination treatment of RF microneedle and CO2
fractional is flattening the rough skin.
