Among them, Monopolar Radiofrequency (MRF), as a non-invasive skin tightening technology, has a relatively wide coverage, and has the effects of improving facial sagging, enhancing skin firmness, reducing wrinkles, and anti-aging for different age groups.

With its excellent effect and safety, it has become the favorite of many beauty seekers. So, what is monopolar radiofrequency? How magical is it? What is the best monopolar radiofrequency machine for anti-aging effects?

Let us reveal this secret weapon to make your skin return to youth through this article!

1. What is radio frequency?

Radio frequency, abbreviated as RF, is radio frequency current, which is the abbreviation of a high-frequency alternating electromagnetic wave. Alternating current that changes less than 1000 times per second is called low-frequency current, and alternating current that changes more than 10,000 times per second is called high-frequency current, that is, radio frequency current.

In electronic theory, when current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is formed around the conductor; when alternating current passes through a conductor, an alternating electromagnetic field is formed around the conductor, which is called an electromagnetic wave.

Radio, microwaves and even hotel door cards are electromagnetic radiation energies, which are collectively referred to as radio frequency; the frequency range is very wide, ranging from hundreds of kHz to hundreds of MHz. RF cuts, resects, electrocauterizes, ablates and coagulates tissues through electrothermal action, thereby achieving the purpose of removing lesions and treating diseases.

2. What are the classifications of radio frequency?

Radiofrequency (RF) is a high-frequency alternating electromagnetic wave between amplitude modulation and frequency modulation radio waves. Its energy exists and propagates in space in the form of electricity or magnetism (waves). The frequency range is 100 kHz to 30 GHz, and it is divided into monopolar, bipolar and multipolar radio frequency.

2.1 Monopolar RF.

It consists of an activation electrode and/or a loop electrode. The depth of current conduction depends on the size of the treatment head and can reach 2 to 4 mm deep into the reticular dermis and subcutaneous layer. Thermage, which is currently popular on the market, is a type of monopolar RF.

2.2 Bipolar RF.

It consists of two symmetrical positive and negative electrodes. The penetration depth is about half the distance between the two electrodes, so the penetration depth is shallow (less pain during treatment). Therefore, in order to ensure deeper treatment, it is often combined with other technologies (in simple terms, the efficacy is not as good as monopolar RF).

2.3 Multipolar RF.

It is composed of 3 or more electrodes, all of which alternately exchange positive and negative charges to form a current loop between any two electrodes. Multiple current loops can concentrate the treatment energy, prevent overheating in the epidermis, and maintain high-density current in the treatment area without additional cooling. The conduction depth can reach the subcutaneous layer.

3. Principle of monopolar radiofrequency skin beauty.

The mechanism of action of radio frequency is to use the conversion of electric field polarity to produce a thermal effect on the friction of tissues through which the current passes (i.e., converting electrical energy into thermal energy). Since the dermis has the highest conductivity in the skin tissue, the current is mainly concentrated in the dermis, causing large-scale capacity heating of the dermis tissue, making the dermis heated to 45-60°C. The heat energy acts on the collagen tissue, causing thermal denaturation, causing the collagen fibers to contract, fuse and reshape, making the dermis thicker, the skin firm and elastic, and thus achieving the effect of skin rejuvenation.

Monopolar radio frequency technology transmits high-frequency current to the deep layers of the skin, produces a thermal effect, promotes the contraction and regeneration of collagen, and thus achieves the effect of tightening the skin. This thermal effect can not only tighten collagen fibers instantly, but also stimulate the regeneration of collagen in the deep layers of the skin, which can last for months or even years.

Monopolar radiofrequency can selectively transfer heat energy to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Short-term primary collagen contraction occurs immediately after treatment. Then reversible thermal damage activates the skin repair mechanism, upregulates the expression of type I collagen mRNA, causes new collagen fiber synthesis, and leads to collagen remodeling. This process occurs 2 to 6 months after RF treatment and lasts for a long time.
In addition, tissue thermal damage can activate the body’s wound healing response, stimulate fibroblasts, and promote new collagen formation. Collagen proliferation can make skin wrinkles shallower and the surface smoother and more elastic by increasing volume.

Radiofrequency has been used in the field of anti-aging for a long time. In 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration first approved RF equipment for skin wrinkle removal, and used it for clinical facial wrinkle removal in 2004. It is mostly suitable for mild to moderate facial wrinkles and was publicly approved for use in 2006.

4. What are the advantages of monopolar radiofrequency machines?

Compared with traditional surgical facelifts, monopolar radiofrequency technology has the significant advantages of being non-invasive, painless, and having a short recovery period. Its non-invasive characteristics mean that patients do not need to worry about surgical risks and postoperative recovery, and can do it as they please, which is very suitable for patients in modern fast-paced life.

4.1 It has a comprehensive effect, and can improve the eyes, face, and body.

Monopolar radiofrequency machines can not only act on the face, but also have special treatment heads for eye and body anti-aging.
Facial anti-aging: Improve skin firmness, improve facial wrinkles, sagging apple muscles, and double chins caused by loose skin.
Eye anti-aging: It can tighten loose skin around the eyes, and is the only project that has passed dual certification of the US FDA and China NMPA for eyelid wrinkle removal.

Whole body anti-aging: It can be used for waist and abdomen shaping, buttocks shaping, leg shaping, and butterfly sleeve treatment, especially suitable for loose skin and stretch marks after childbirth.

4.2 Non-invasive operation, short recovery period.

Monopolar RF is a non-invasive operation. You can leave immediately after the treatment, and the recovery period is short. Some people may experience edema, which usually disappears in 2 to 3 days.

4.3 Do it once every 1 to 2 years, the light of lazy medical beauty.

The anti-aging effect of monopolar radio frequency machine has two major characteristics: one is the immediate reaction, and there will be a visual tightening effect at the moment of completion. The other, and more important, is the long-term increase in collagen.
After the anti-aging treatment, collagen will gradually regenerate, and the state effect usually reaches the “peak” in 3 to 6 months.
Therefore, monopolar RF has better durability, and it can usually be done once every 1 to 2 years (depending on age and aging).
After stopping the anti-aging project, there is no need to worry too much about rebound. The skin will not age faster, but just return to the normal state and speed of aging.

5. Clinical trial verification: the magical effect of monopolar radiofrequency.

5.1 Clinical trial of the latest generation of monopolar radiofrequency devices.

In the article “Prospective clinical trial of the latest generation of non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency treatment for facial and upper neck skin laxity”, researchers selected 40 subjects between 30 and 60 years old and used the latest generation of monopolar radiofrequency devices for facial and upper neck skin laxity treatment. The results showed that 73% of the subjects had significantly improved skin laxity in the chin and nasolabial folds 6 months after treatment. The satisfaction of the subjects was also very high, and more than 80% of the subjects were satisfied with the treatment effect.

5.2 Clinical verification in Asian populations.

In the article “Effectiveness and safety of monopolar radiofrequency treatment for lower facial laxity in Asians”, researchers performed monopolar radiofrequency treatment on 30 Asian subjects. The results showed that within 6 months after treatment, most subjects had significant improvement in skin laxity and no serious adverse events. The average pain score of the subjects during the treatment was only 3.13 (out of 10 points), which proved the safety and effectiveness of monopolar radiofrequency in Asian populations.
