With the advancement of aesthetic medicine technology, modern people’s
demand for beauty treatments is constantly evolving. More individuals are
seeking non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures to reduce recovery time
and potential risks after treatment.
Among the many non-invasive beauty technologies, "Ultrasound" is
a treatment that precisely targets the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic
System) layer by adjusting treatment depth settings and energy control to
stimulate collagen regeneration. To cater to a wider range of skin needs, the
Asia-Pacific Aesthetic Center has introduced "Radiofrequency"
alongside its existing ultrasound technology, further enhancing the effectiveness
of non-invasive treatments.
Differences Between Ultrasound and
Radiofrequency in Depth and Application Range
Ultrasound: Suitable for individuals seeking significant lifting effects
and those with mild to moderate skin laxity.
- Offers
three depth settings (4.5mm, 3.0mm, 1.5mm), allowing targeted treatment of
different areas based on the degree of skin laxity for a more precise
lifting effect.
- However,
certain skin issues such as enlarged pores, acne scars, and fine lines may
require additional complementary treatments to enhance effectiveness.
Radiofrequency: Suitable for full-face and neck treatments, addressing
various skin concerns.
- Features
multifunctional capabilities with insulated needles in 16, 25, and 49
configurations.
- Adjustable
depth range from 0.5mm to 4.0mm, allowing targeted treatment for both
superficial and deep skin issues.
- Utilizes
different output modes to evenly deliver radiofrequency energy into the
skin, ensuring a stable energy output with a real-time impedance detection
system, enhancing treatment safety.
- Includes
both monopolar and bipolar modes, applying advanced discharge technology
(0.3mm) to concentrate energy at the treatment site while protecting the
epidermis with insulated needle design, minimizing side effects and
ensuring higher treatment safety.
Professional Evaluation and
Personalized Treatment Planning
Many individuals face a choice between ultrasound and radiofrequency when
selecting a beauty treatment. The appropriate treatment should be determined
through a professional consultation with a qualified physician who can assess
the skin condition and design a personalized treatment plan accordingly.
