At Rejuvenating Solutions, we were thrilled to introduce the remarkable Endymed device to our aesthetic treatment collection. The thing is, patients are always asking how it works. Cue an article that looks into the scientific principles that make this technology a skin rejuvenation marvel.
What is Endymed
Endymed is a cutting-edge aesthetic device that leverages the transformative power of radiofrequency (RF) energy to do its work. This non-invasive tool is engineered to revitalise and firm up the skin, offering a solution for those aiming to reverse the signs of ageing, refine skin texture, and attain a rejuvenated, youthful glow.
The Functionality of Endymed
Endymed operates by channelling controlled RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This process heats the collagen fibres within the skin, prompting them to constrict and firm up. Consequently, this thermal activity encourages the generation of new collagen, the key protein that maintains skin’s elasticity and tautness. The outcome is skin that’s smoother, firmer, and more luminous.
The Transformative Effects of Endymed
- Skin Firming: Endymed’s ability to enhance collagen production aids in diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Sculpting: It redefines the contours of your face and body, offering patients more of a chiselled appearance.
- Texture Refinement: Endymed enhances skin texture, lessening the visibility of scars, enlarged pores, and irregular skin pigmentation.
The Sophisticated Science of RF Microneedling
RF microneedling is an advanced coming-together of two powerful dermatological methods: microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. Here are the processes that occur when RF Energy interacts with the skin:
Bipolar Radiofrequency Energy
The RF element of RF microneedling involves bipolar RF energy. This form of energy is more targeted than monopolar RF, travelling exclusively between the device’s needles. The high-precision nature of the device ensures a focused impact on dermal collagen, significantly enhancing the process of neocollagenesis—the creation of new collagen fibres.
Dermal Coagulation and Haemostasis
RF microneedling triggers a distinctive physiological reaction known as dermal coagulation. As the micro-needles pierce the skin and emit RF energy, they induce localised coagulation of blood proteins. This action, known as haemostasis, thickens the blood in the treated area. The ensuing sequence of cellular activities fosters wound healing and tissue restructuring, bolstering the skin’s structural integrity.
Epidermal Preservation
A stand-out aspect of microneedling RF technology is its ability to safeguard the epidermis. The technology is designed to concentrate the RF energy on the deeper dermal layers while keeping the epidermis largely intact. This feature renders the procedure exceptionally safe for darker skin tones, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Collagen Remodeling and Neoelastogenesis
The controlled thermal injury inflicted by the RF energy disrupts the triple-helical structure of dermal collagen molecules. This disruption initiates the body’s innate wound-healing response.
Fibroblasts, the cells chiefly responsible for collagen synthesis, are stimulated to produce new collagen and elastin—the protein that gives skin its elasticity—the combined effect of collagen remodelling and neoelastogenesis results in skin that is tighter and rejuvenated.
Broader Dermatological Applications
Beyond skin firming and rejuvenation, RF microneedling has proven effective in addressing other dermatological issues. Research has highlighted its potential in reducing wrinkles, alleviating acne scars, and treating atrophic scars and stretch marks.
Why Rejuvenating Solutions Chose Endymed
Our conviction that Endymed would emerge as a leading innovation was shaped through industry discussions, conferences, and consultations with peers. After thorough research and contemplation, we decided to incorporate Endymed’s RF device into our clinic.
Our foresight was accurate; The Endymed device has proved to be as safe and effective as we thought it would be. Please call to book a consultation if you would like to find out what Endymed can do for you.
