FLX RF VS Smart Deep RF
Thermage vs Oligio
The Monopolar RF Technology
FLX RF and Smart Deep RF stand out as widely used devices for skin tightening, recognized as the most efficient options currently available. Both devices are designed to enhance facial tightness, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
Both devices work by subjecting your skin to intense heat using monopolar radiofrequency during treatment, the warmth penetrates down to deep dermis, resulting in an immediate post-treatment tightening effect. Over the following few weeks, your body will kickstart your body’s natural collagen . This enriches your skin by restoring elasticity, refining texture, and gradually reducing wrinkles. Optimal results typically become most apparent around 3-6 months after the treatment, lasting between 9-12 months. FLX uses 6MHz whilst Smart Deep RF uses 6.78MHz.
Skin Enhancement
Both Smart Deep RF and FLX RF aim to improve skin elasticity, reduce skin pores and fine lines effectively. While noticeable differences emerge after the initial treatment, obvious clinical results are appreciated in 6-8 weeks for Smart Deep RF. Physicians may recommend additional sessions or a combination of treatments for the best results.
Innovative Cooling Technology
The Smart Deep RF device employs cooling gas as a high-frequency energy source, creating the Intelligent Cooling System. With each shot, the device activates this cooling system four times, ensuring skin safety through temperature control and minimizing side effects, such as skin burns.
Temperature-Sensitive Lifting Sensor
The tip of the Smart Deep RF device is crucial, necessitating a new tip for each procedure to avoid tip reuse. Equipped with a temperature sensor, the tip automatically halts the device if the skin reaches excessive heat levels, emphasizing the paramount importance of safety during the treatment.
Efficient Treatment Duration
The Smart Deep RF device allows for short intervals between each shot, reducing overall treatment time. This not only aids operators in maintaining focus but also minimizes the duration of discomfort for patients. In general, a full face treatment for Smart Deep RF with 600 shots takes between 20-30 minutes while FLX RF face may take 30-60 minutes.
Additional Benefits
Smart Deep RF users report minimal pain experienced when using it for their skin tightening journey. In our clinic, combining Smart Deep RF with other lifting procedures can yield even more impressive results, necessitating only yearly maintenance after.
Conclusion
In summary, Smart Deep RF proves itself as a viable alternative for skin rejuvenation due to its innovative approach, cost-effectiveness, and ability to deliver comparable results.
