Cellulite Treatment
Wrinkle Reduction/Body Contouring Anti-Aging Treatment
Apollo radiofrequency utilizes third-generation radiofrequency technology to regenerate collagen, tighten and tone the skin, improve the appearance of wrinkle and cellulite, and reduce body circumference. Treatments yield visible, immediate, and long-term anti-aging results with no pain or downtime and are effective for patients of all skin types.

It is a simple walk-in/walk-out treatment. Due to three different size applicators available, large areas of the body can be treated as well as very delicate areas of the face in a non-invasive way.

A recent U.S. clinical study showed a 97% improvement following a full series of treatments, and 100% of the patients reported that they were satisfied with their results.

Q: What conditions does the Apollo treat?

 

A: The Apollo is cleared by the FDA for treatment of facial wrinkles and rhytides. Due to enhanced generation of new collagen and tightening of existing collagen the Apollo can treat sagging skin, loose jowls, jaw line contouring, sagging skin under-chin (“turkey neck”), wrinkles and fine lines, and a general toning and lifting of the face. In addition to lifting the face, it can also be used to improve cellulite appearance and to reduce the circumference of the abdomen, arms, flanks, buttocks, and thighs.

 

Q: What does a TriPollar treatment with the Apollo system feel like?

 

A: A TriPollar treatment feels like a warm massage. It is pleasant and pain-free. Some patients even report falling asleep during treatments.

 

Q: What is the down time after a TriPollar treatment?

 

A: There is no down time after a TriPollar treatment. One can resume regular activity immediately after the treatment.

 

Q: What does the patient need to do to prepare for a TriPollar treatment?

 

A: There are no special requirements or preparations for a TriPollar treatment.

 

Q: How many TriPollar treatments are recommended?

 

A: The standard protocol for facial treatments with the Apollo device calls for 4- 6 treatments. However, if needed, more treatments can be added according to the condition being treated. Touch-up treatments are recommended every 1-3 months to maintain and improve the treatment results.

 

Q: How long is the TriPollar treatment?

 

A: The duration of the Apollo facial treatment is about 30-45 minutes. Your practitioner will determine your facial treatment protocol.

Q: Can a TriPollar treatment be performed every day?

 

A: Clinical trials conducted by Pollogen found that optimal results are obtained when there is a one week interval between treatments. If the intervals need to be adjusted, the minimum time between treatments should be four days and the maximum time should be two weeks.

 

Other RF manufacturers and clinical papers may claim different intervals. However, Pollogen has found treating at one week intervals yields the best treatment results. If the interval is too small, the skin is too sensitive and as a result the operator reduces the power settings and optimal results are not achieved. Since the treatment activates internal processes that continue after the treatment, it is best to allow at least four days before performing another TriPollar treatment.

 

Q: Should one drink water after a TriPollar Treatment?

 

A: It is a good idea to drink water after a TriPollar treatment to refresh and to improve drainage.

 

 Q: How soon after pregnancy can a TriPollar facial treatment be performed?

 

A: A TriPollar treatment can be performed 1-3 months post pregnancy (as long as the woman is not breast feeding and depending on her general physical health.)


Q: Why is glycerin used during TriPollar treatments?

A: Glycerin was found to be the most suitable treatment lubricant due to its high resistance to RF. It allows the RF to penetrate to the deep layers while protecting the epidermal layer from becoming overheated or harmed. Glycerin is also widely used in the cosmetics industry as a safe and beneficial component. Glycerin also helps the applicator glide comfortably over the skin.


Q: How soon can I see results?

 

A: The majority of patients are able to see visible results immediately after the 1st facial treatment. However, in order to achieve long-term results, you will need to undergo several TriPollar treatments.

 

Q: How long will the results last?

 

A: The results should last several months, however, since the body continues to age and the ageing process cannot be stopped, it is recommended to undergo preventative treatments every few months in order to maintain the results.

 

Q: If I have metal implants in my knees, can I have a TriPollar facial treatment?

 

A: Yes, you can undergo a facial treatment if the metal implants are in a different body area. In general, treatment should not be performed over metal implants. If you have teeth fillings, braces etc. you can also undergo treatment. If the area feels sensitive, dental cotton pads or slightly damped gauze can be inserted between the teeth and cheeks.
