Exilis Ultra is an FDA 510(k) approved zero-downtime non-invasive body contouring and facial tightening combination device produced by BTL Aesthetics, delivering 1-3 MHz monopolar radiofrequency (RF) and 2 MHz ultrasonic energy simultaneously, providing real-time impedance control with Proteus technology, for sub-dermal 4-10 mm deep fat tissue heating and dermal collagen coagulation.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an FDA-approved medical device as a non-invasive alternative to surgical face-lift, based on triggering thermal coagulation and subsequent neocollagenesis by converting 3-10 MHz focused ultrasound energy into 65-70°C temperature points in the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer in the subcutaneous layers.
Microneedling RF (Fractional RF Microneedling) is a category of fractional skin resurfacing devices that deliver bipolar radiofrequency energy through an insulated or non-insulated micro-needle array (25–64 pins) at a dermal depth of 0.5–3.5 mm, FDA-approved for the treatment of acne scars, striae (stretch marks) and superficial rhytids, marketed under multiple brands such as Vivace/Secret RF/Infini/EndyMed.
Morpheus8 is a fractional RF microneedling medical device produced by InMode Aesthetic Solutions, which will transmit bipolar radiofrequency energy to the subdermal layer at a depth of 1-8 mm through an insulated microneedle array (12-40 pins), performs thermal remodeling in the dermis collagen and subdermal adipose tissue, and is used for facial contouring, skin tightening and body contouring with Subdermal Adipose Remodeling (SART) FDA approval.
Thermage FLX is an FDA 510(k) approved non-invasive skin tightening device produced by Solta Medical, which triggers immediate collagen contraction (immediate tightening) and subsequent neocollagenesis by volumetric heating in the skin dermis layer with 6 MHz monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy, and offers impedance-compatible energy regulation with the AccuREP algorithm.
