Radiofrequency
Taking care of your skin is more important than covering it up -Lady Gaga
What is radiofrequency surgery?
Radiofrequency surgery is the use of a very high frequency radio wave (1.5 – 4.5 MHz) to perform skin, plastic and eyelid surgery. The advantage over conventional scalpel surgery is reduced tissue damage.

How does radiofrequency differ from electrocautery?
In electrocautery the electrode becomes hot, leading to more lateral tissue damage. With radiofrequency, the electrode remains cold, resulting in very little lateral tissue damage. With electrocautery the tissue is charred black. With radiofrequency the treated area remains normal colour.
What are the advantages of radiofrequency?
The advantages of radiofrequency are ease of ablation, faster speed and better cosmetic results.
