?:definition
  • Radiofrequency (RF) therapy systems designed to warm the skin and subcutaneous tissues by the external application of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. These systems typically consist of a main unit which includes a monopolar RF generator; controls (e.g., touch-screen buttons) to regulate the therapeutic parameters; a display showing the characteristics of the programmed and real settings; and an applicator attached to the main unit to deliver the RF energy to the skin. The tissues get warm due to the tissue electric resistance to the passage of RF radiation. Dermatologic diathermy units are mainly intended for non-invasive treatment of the skin, especially for treatment of wrinkles in the skin (i.e., rhytids); they may be also used to reduce pain and to treat muscle spasms.
