TRIO iShape Synergy

The synergistic combination of the four distinct TRIO iShape modalities —
radiofrequency (RF), ultrasound cavitation, vacuum/suction and (red) LED
phototherapy provides aesthetic benefits far beyond the simple addition of
each individual technology. Each modality has a specific mechanism of
action which produces a distinctive physiological result which can often be
enhanced by the addition of other modalities. For example, if you follow an
ultrasound cavitation treatment for non-invasive body contouring with
vacuum suction you can significantly enhance the treatment results – and
show immediate improvement in body contour — by immediately mobilizing and moving the free liquefied fat to the nearest lymph nodes for more efficient drainage and elimination.

TRIO iShape Proprietary iSmart Software
The TRIO iShape proprietary software allows the operator to select and adjust each modality (RF, cavitation, and vacuum suction) to treat a wide variety of popular indications including cellulite reduction, body shaping/slimming, skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
The large, full color touch screen display also allows the operator to select the target treatment area body (arms,legs, abdomen, etc.) or face (forehead, cheeks, etc.). In addition, the TRIO iSmart software provides pre-set recommended parameter settings and directional stroking instructions for each treatment indication, making the treatments as easy to administer as they are effective.
The TRIO iShape RF energy affects the skin and tissue by utilizing radio waves that cause thermal effects in the skin. RF energy is also photonic energy but—unlike lasers and IPL systems—RF photons are not absorbed by skin chromophores resulting in the production of heat.

 Body cells do not interpret RF current as “electricity”; rather it is treated as an energy source.

Skin layers act like “resistors” in series to the RF current and depending on the resistance and composition of the skin (and tissue) layers — they heat up to varying degrees. In general, fat cells are more resistant to RF
current than other skin cells. Because fat cells have a higher “resistance” than epidermal and dermal skin cells, fat cells heat up more quickly than other skin tissue. The treatment indication, the body (or face) area
being treated, the duration of the treatment, and the amount of TRIO RF energy applied can be selected on the control panel by the operator and the TRIO system will automatically deliver RF energy to the proper skin
or tissue layer for optimal results. The TRIO iShape’s integrated IR Thermometer makes monitoring of either external or internal skin temperature during treatment of a breeze.

Emerging RF Skin Tightening Technology Has Arrived
Controlled thermal energy is a method for contracting loose, lax skin through the well-known mechanism of collagen denaturation. Heat-induced denaturation of collagen typically occurs at temperatures of about 65 degrees C.

Radio frequency (RF) energy in a specific frequency range has long demonstrated its efficiency in rehabilitative diathermy and for heating tissue in electro-surgery. TRIO iShape energy is also being widely used today for a variety of aesthetic and dermatological applications. TRIO iShape energy has been shown in multiple studies to effectively tighten tissue, reduce wrinkles, and produce a noticeable skin ”lifting” effect. Selective TRIO iShape RF “electrothermolysis” offers a safe and effective non-ablative method to improve tissue laxity, rhytides and cellulite
With mono-polar systems, RF energy gradually diminishes in both density and power as it travels further from the source of emitted power.

Monopolar current travels via the “path of least resistance” to a large grounding pad typically located on the other side of the body. The high power required for monopolar systems and the high concentration of power at the skin surface has raised concerns about causing the undesirable loss of facial fat and other adverse events
