The principle of impact is based on the opposition of skin and connective tissues cooling and heating by radio waves. This leads to shortening and compression of collagen fibers, which provides the effect of skin lifting. In addition, the enhancement of metabolic and energy processes in the skin occurs, stimulation of fibroblasts work and an increase in the production of new collagen.
