microneedling radiofrequency device

microneedling radiofrequency

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

microneedling radiofrequency device

Intervention Type DEVICE

Microneedling radiofrequency device is composed of 49 insulated microneedle which emit radiofrequency from the needle tip. This radiofreqeuncy generates dermal heat which evokes biological effect.

bipolar radiofrequency device

bipolar radiofrequency treatment

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

bipolar radiofrequency

Intervention Type DEVICE

bipolar radiofrequency instrument gives out bipolar radiofrequency from the hand piece tip. This bipolar radiofrequency generates dermal heat which has a lot of bilogical effect.
