1) Radiofrequency (RF) heating of tissue can generate neocollagenesis and skin tightening through two effects: immediate collagen contraction and subsequent new collagen formation over weeks.
2) An experiment applied Forma's bipolar pulsed RF system to a 42-year-old woman's nasolabial folds using increasing energy levels over multiple passes.
3) Three weeks later, significant improvements were seen in skin texture and reduced fold depth, demonstrating RF's ability to naturally stimulate collagen remodeling for skin tightening.

Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) is a treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to produce deep heating in joints and soft tissues. This form of heat can be applied to deeper structures than other forms of heat treatment.
Here is the complete information about short wave diathermy. our main focus is on short wave diathermy and its medical effects in physiotherapy. our main goal is to provide you short but useful information hope this helps you a lot in your studies.

Haemostasis is very important in laparoscopic surgery. Vessel sealing with energy devises play a major role in keeping the surgical field clear. Energy devices are also used for tissue sealing and transection. Despite never types of energy devises electro-surgery is still very popular in gynaecological laparoscopy. Desiccation, dissection, and coagulation are the main effects of electro-surgery that are used for various purposes. Higher thermal injury with monopolar devices lead to the invention of bipolar devices with less tissue damage. Ligasure, pk gyrus, ENSEAL are some of the more advanced bipolar devices. Ultrasonic devices have the capability of coagulation and cutting tissues. During the process it can produce significant thermal injury. Thunderbeat combines bipolar and ultrasonic energy for coagulation and cutting respectively for more precise effects. Laser devices emit a beam of photons with a high degree of spatial and temporal coherence with tissue effects depending on the time of exposure and power density. CO2, Argon, Nd: YAG, KTP-532 are different laser types with different properties. Plasma is the fourth state of matter following solid, liquid and gas. Argon neutral plasma (System 7550TM ABC, Cardioblate) can produce energy in 3 forms including light, heat and kinetic energy. Laser and plasma energy are gaining more popularity for endometriosis surgery due to its localised effects and better preservation of ovarian follicles.

ackground: Radiofrequencies are commonly
used in medicine since the very beginning of
the 20th century. In the year 1907 Nagelschmidt
coined the term Diathermy to indicate the heating of living tissue produced by the conversion of
high frequency currents in heat without being accompanied by painful muscle contraction that occurs while inducing low frequencies currents.
The electromagnetic endogenous heating has some
advantages over other forms of tissue heating (conduction, infrared radiation, etc.) In particular long waves
allow heating of deeper layers. While during heating by
conduction, the temperature decays exponentially to the
physiological value (37º) in few millimeters, electromagnetic heating allows more homogenous distribution
of temperature in few centimeters depths, which cannot
be reached with other external means. Radiofrequency
in aesthetic medicine applications, targets the reticular
dermis matrix, aiming to increase the intra-dermal temperature in order to obtain two different physiological
effects:
1. A short term effect, so called "BBQ Effect" or
"Shrinking Effect": an immediate contraction of the
existence collagen fibers and initial protein denaturation
induced by heat, which reacts by a reorganization of the
tridimensional protein structure. This reaction generates
a perceptible skin toning and a quite visible transitional
but visible facial lift-up.
2. A long lasting effect, due to continuous denaturation
process (5% - 30% of total collagen fibers in the treated
area) and the formation of a damaged area with an
inflammatory component that induce finally a reparative
response. The flogistic stimulation select some important fibroblast's subpopulations that have an important
role in fibrosis formation; Interleukin IL-4 bond to CD40 of fibroblasts with pro-fibrotic reaction and stimulation of production new collagen.
The physical law that is the basis for the physiological effect of the RF, is given through the modification
of electrical camp in the treated area, the changing of
polarity and the fluency of ions and molecules, which
determine heat according the following formula: J = I x
R x T (J = energy, I = current, R = tissue impedance, T
= time) Generally the heat produced is developed gradually in 3mm to 9 mm depth and determines heating up
to 55ºC – 65 ºC. Forma™ ST applicator is a bipolar
pulsed radiofrequency with cooling system of the electrodes , able to deliver up to 100 J/cm³ in less than 200
ms. This fractional mode of energy delivery, generate an
immediate peak of about 60ºC within the dermis layer.
This results as a firmly effective stimulation for the
consequent reparative desired response.

Objective: morphological evaluation of physiological
reaction and modification of skin texture, tone and elasticity within the naso-labial folds. Using ST applicator
of Forma™ system (by Formatk Ltd. Israel)
Method: a light dermal – abrasion, using Forma's diamond peeling was performed prior to the RF session in
order to reduce the skin impedance and improve the ST
applicator – skin coupling. Abundant RF gel (Parker 03)
layer was then applied along the fold area. 4 double passages were performed, starting with 65 J/cm³, pointing
the electrodes in-between the fold line, having ~0.5cm
distance and emitting a pulse every two seconds. The
backward passage involved the electrodes perpendicularly to the fold line. Energy rate was increased on the
next 3 passages of 5 J/cm³ each and the last one was set
on 80 J/cm³. Close-up pictures were taken prior to the
treatment and 3 weeks later.
Case: 42 Y/O female volunteer with fairly marked nasolabial folds (Dx, Sn). The treatment evoked an immediate hyperemia and edema. A moderate perception of
pain was accompanied while using high energy delivery
(80 J/cm³)
Results: a significant improvement was observed three
weeks after the treatment in terms of skin texture and
fold depth.
Conclusion: ST pulsed RF by Formatk is a safe,
clinically proven way to tighten and contour skin, with
improvements in tone, contour, and texture occurring
naturally through stimulation of your own collagen.
