Bipolar Fractional Radiofrequency

What Is It?

Bipolar fractional radiofrequency devices produce controlled micro-injuries to the dermis, leaving the other parts of the skin unaffected. This activates a dermal wound healing response, resulting in the stimulation of cells involved in collagen production.

This procedure is normally repeated 3-5 times in 1-month intervals, and you should see gradual results with each session. After your last session, your skin should continue to improve.

Good or Excellent Response

Strength of Evidence

55% of patients achieved a good (>50%) or excellent (>75%) improvement in scarring after 3 sessions

Moderate Response

Strength of Evidence

93% of patients achieved at least a moderate (>25%) improvement in scarring after 1 - 3 sessions
