RADIOFREQENCY SURGERY Radiowave surgery is low temperature which minimizes the occurrence of tissue necrosis and burning. A radiofrequency electrode tip is energized by radio waves and does not become overly hot. The high frequency radio waves result in a focus cutting and coagulating effect disintegrating and volatilizing single cells, which minimizes the amount of tissue destruction created. The benefits of radiofrequency surgery are reduced tissue damage, which results in rapid healing and minimal pain. There is decreased post surgical swelling because of the low temperature which results in less tissue destruction. The radio waves vaporize bacteria which results in a reduced risk of infection. There is quicker recovery because there is less tissue destruction. Radiofrequency gives the surgeon great surgical control of the incision. |
