What is QuantumRF?
QuantumRF is an FDA cleared device from InMode that delivers heat underneath the skin through a very thin tube called a cannula. It is cleared for dermatological and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and contraction of soft tissue, and for hemostasis, which simply means controlling bleeding.
The heat comes from bipolar fractionated radiofrequency, usually shortened to FRF. Radiofrequency is a form of energy that warms tissue from within. Fractionated means the energy arrives in small separate pulses instead of one steady stream. Bipolar means the current travels a short, controlled path between two points. Energy is released only at the tip of the cannula, so it stays where Dr. Thiara is working.
People researching RF skin tightening usually run into two broad approaches: energy applied on the surface, and energy delivered underneath it. QuantumRF is the second kind. The heat starts down where the loose tissue and the fat actually sit. No gas is involved at any point.
