What is EmbraceRF?
EmbraceRF is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) procedure. EmbraceRF uses a very thin cannula with an internal electrode that is inserted through a tiny incision. Attached to the cannula, but resting atop the skin, is a metal wand that features an external electrode. The radiofrequency energy passes from the internal electrode to the external electrode, heating the fat and surrounding tissues without damaging those tissues. The liquefied fat is then suctioned away through the cannula. The RF energy that has heated the dermis layer of the skin causes the skin to contract and tighten, firming the area.
EmbraceRF doesn’t deliver the degree of fat removal of liposuction on larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen. It removes smaller pockets of fat, particular around the jawline. Plus, the RF energy acts to remodel the subdermal adipose tissue on the face.
