Fractional RF (Max RF) uses a combination of dermal stamping and radiofrequency. Dermal stamping is an organic way of rebuilding collagen and elastin. Radiofrequency uses low-level radio waves to cause a thermal reaction within the dermis. This heat metabolises unhealthy cells and fibres, in-turn causing stimulation to produce healthy new cells. The result is added structure, reduced pore size, reduced acne scarring, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Fractional RF systems induce both ablation and coagulation. Small pins sit on the surface of the skin and emit radio frequency energy into the epidermis. The radio frequency energy creates heat in the skin and simultaneously ablates tiny channels of the epidermis while creating coagulation around the tiny ablated channels, stimulating a wound-healing response. All of this is done fractionally (in tiny pin-points), having great effects but not requiring a long time for the skin to heal.
