What is Tripolar RF?
The radiofrequency energy gently heats the skin’s superficial layers and deeper subcutaneous tissue, tightening existing collagen fibers and stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin for smoother, more supple skin.
The Tripolar RF devices are cleared by the FDA to treat wrinkles. Practitioners also use it to tighten sagging skin along the jawline and under the chin. On the body, Tripolar can shrink fat cells and temporarily improve the look of cellulite. All Tripolar treatments are safe for all skin tones and types.
What are the pros and cons of TriPolar RF?

-
The in-office treatment is pain-free and involves no downtime.
-
At-home devices can extend the benefits of in-office treatments.
Cons
-
Up to ten sessions are suggested for optimum results—so the cost can add up.
-
Because of their low wattage, at-home devices don’t deliver major results beyond maintenance of in-office treatment results.
