The RE-GEN treatment utilizes tripolar radiofrequency technology. It merges both the monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, so it acts on both superficial and deep layers at the same time to produce a firm smooth skin.
Skin sagging and wrinkles are the most obvious aging signs of the face and neck. In the age of late 30s to 40s, there is a decrease in collagen production (in quality and number) which is the protein that forms a mesh that is responsible for skin firmness. All attempts for non-surgical firming of the face (facelift) aim to produce new collagen.
Radiofrequency is one of the techniques used in dermatology for non-invasive skin tightening. It is classified as low-energy radiation. The radiofrequency waves penetrate the deep skin layer containing collagen which is called the dermis to generate heat which stimulates new collagen production to get a smoother tight skin.
RE-GEN treatment is a tripolar radiofrequency technology combining the advantages of both monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency.
What is known is that there are only 2 poles for the electric current positive and negative. When the two poles are applied to the skin and the current passes, it aims to pass from one pole to the other, which means it goes across the skin layers to reach the opposite pole.
In the monopolar radiofrequency the two poles are placed away from each other so the current will travel through the deep tissues to reach the opposite pole. While in the bipolar radiofrequency, the two poles are placed near each other so the current doesn’t have to travel for a long distance so it travels in the superficial layer.
The tripolar technology of RE-GEN depends on the presence of three poles: positive, negative, and inactive. The three poles alternate when the current passes. So every pole will rotate to be positive, negative, and inactive during the process. This provides a more uniform and deeper penetration treatment.
Though not a permanent solution, RE-GEN treatment is a safe and non-invasive treatment that helps in skin rejuvenation and tightening through heat production which stimulates new collagen and elastin production.

The RE-GEN treatment is a tripolar radiofrequency combining the advantages of unipolar and bipolar technology, offering it the opportunity to act on both superficial and deep skin layers to cause new collagen production and skin tightening.
The procedure is as follows:
Your dermatologist will take a full medical history from you, any medication you are currently on, examine the area to be treated, and discuss the treatment and your expectations to reach a final treatment plan.
Usually using RE-GEN or radiofrequency does not require a specific pre-treatment regime to be followed, but if you have recently undergone micro-needling, chemical peel, or dermal fillers, you have to wait for a month before getting a RE-GEN treatment session to avoid any side effects. adverse effects.
RE-GEN treatment is safe, non-invasive, and requires no special aftercare instructions. There may be minimal pain or redness but you can back to your daily routine after the session. It is better to continue on your skin care regimen and sunscreen after the procedure to maintain the results for a long time.

RE-GEN treatment, in general, is safe and, the emitted radiation is similar to that of some devices we use regularly, such as cellphones and microwaves. There are no proven facts that it holds any long-term hazards to human health.
There are no risks or side effects associated with this procedure although, some temporary redness, swelling, and mild pain may be seen. They will normally resolve within a few hours.
Improper device parameters or improper handling (overexposure) may cause skin burn, so make sure that you only seek RE-GEN treatment from a certified doctor or dermatologist.
Dark-skinned patients are at a higher risk for side effects.
This treatment is contraindicated for people with Rosacea as the heat produced may lead to further redness and inflammation.
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on how extensive the case is. It is recommended to have 6 sessions (once per week for 6 weeks) to promote collagen production and then one session per month for 3 months to maintain the results.
When will I notice improvement?
Immediate improvement is seen after the first session, and it continues to improve over 6 months.
How long do the results last?
RE-GEN radiofrequency treatment lasts longer than topical cream application and micro-needling methods, but it lasts less than facelift surgeries though it is a more invasive method than radiofrequency treatment. The results last for 1-2 years.
Is RE-GEN treatment painful?
The process is painless; you will feel deep heat in your face because of the heat produced to stimulate collagen production. Some patients prefer the use of a numbing cream before the procedure to avoid any pain.
