RF Pixel

The country�s premier healthcare address gave a big boost to its aesthetic, skin care and weight management services by acquiring the Philippines� first and only pixel-based skin enhancement technology and radiofrequency mode of busting body fat.

St. Luke�s Medical Center is fast creating a buzz from both the growing army of male and female weight-watching, beauty-conscious and physical-enhancement buffs as its Dermatology Center acquired the country�s most modern and convenient way of getting rid of unwanted body fat and toning skin called Pixel-Based Tenor-RF technology.

A novel twist to a classic technology, the RF PIXEL or fractionated delivery of radiofrequency to the skin, is now the latest offering for the treatment of depressed acne scars. A definite first in the Philippines, this latest treatment option has proven to be an exciting discovery for the challenging task of improving the visual appearance of uneven skin terrain of patients with depressed scars resulting not only from acne, but also from trauma, chickenpox and other causes. It is also excellent for stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles.

The RF Pixel technology uses a calibrated delivery of heat to the affected areas of the skin via radiofrequency energy that provides a stimulus to set off the tissue dynamics involved in wound healing of the skin. What is appreciable by the naked eye is the shallowing of the depressed scars. It is a no-fuss approach to realize many a people�s desired skin with minimal downtime and at an affordable cost.

The RF Pixel does away with tedious weekly treatment schedules and works well for patients looking for generously spaced treatment intervals. It is a safe and quick procedure with noted minimal discomfort, no actual downtime and requiring only simple postoperative skin care. In comparison with other treatment options, the RF Pixel does not carry a high risk of brownish skin discolorization after treatment. Indeed, it is a cut above the rest as it carries the strength of being a monotherapeutic choice for depressed scars.

The RF Tenor technology also offers the most up-to-date US FDA approved UNIPOLAR and BIPOLAR radiofrequency technologies which do not cause any breaks in the skin. Through its patented treatment tips, the Tenor UNIPOLAR RF delivers deep volumetric tissue heating to effect facial and body shape contouring and improves cellulite appearance, whereas the BIPOLAR RF delivers a controlled amount of RF energy that translates into superficial tissue heating which causes skin tightening and improves wrinkles.

With each contact onto the skin, the hand piece uniformly heats collagen and fat in the deeper dermis layers of the skin while at the same time protecting the outer layer (epidermis) of the skin with its cooling system. Heating to these tissue depths therapeutically improves local circulation, promotes fibrous tissue breakdown, and helps manage areas that are subject to edema by promoting the re-absorption and drainage of retained fluids and toxins. Fat is destroyed and new collagen restored non-invasively and painlessly.

The skin toning and body contouring facilities come as part of the creation of St. Luke�s AWSM (pronounced �Awesome�) Centers. It stands for Aesthetic, Weight and Skin Management Centers that resulted from the synergized effort of three of its frontrunner Centers � the Dermatology Center headed by Dr. Lonabel Encarnacion, the Aesthetic Surgery Center headed by Dr. Enrico Valera and the Obesity and Weight Management Center headed by Dr. Luisito Llido.
