FACIAL FAT REDUCTION & TIGHTENING

DMC Skin Clinic originally introduced the Health Canada approved Duet RF™ system. From the original Duet RF™ protocol, DMC Skin Clinic incorporated a number of enhancements to further improve the device’s effectiveness and safety, creating the Advanced Duet RF™ currently used now. A couple examples of the innovations that DMC Skin Clinic created include a capacitive-return circuitry and retinal projection thermal imaging system – characteristics that improve aesthetic results and accuracy. Of the various existing procedures that reduce unwanted facial fat, DMC Skin Clinic’s Advanced Duet RF™ is one of the most popular for natural and long-lasting results.

WHAT IS DUET RF™?

DMC Skin Clinic’s Advanced Duet RF™ is Health Canada approved and a dual function, non-invasive skin treatment device designed to tighten skin and repair scars with minimal downtime. Developed by DMC Skin Clinic with safety, comfort, and effectiveness in mind, the Advanced Duet RF™ system embodies 2 radiofrequency modes in one device –  Thermal and Fractional RF.

  • Thermal Mode
    Primarily designed for tightening the skin and reducing excessive facial fat, the thermal mode is non-ablative and has little downtime. It utilizes a sophisticated mono-polar RF transmission structure to evenly distribute heat energy across targeted areas to promote collagen growth. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to complete.
  • Fractional Mode
    Falling somewhere between fractional laser and fractional RF, the fractional mode delivers energy to the skin surface to improve scars, enlarged pores, and sun damage. As the injected depth using the fractional mode is generally less than what fractional RF needles would go, DMC Skin Clinic often combines the fractional mode of Duet RF™ with Infini™ RF to target larger depths if needed.
