I am listening to a few new RF tightening know-how. Are the outcomes they’re posting actual?
I’ve been attempting to do due diligence on this gadget for the reason that firm contacted me a few month in the past. They haven’t made this simple and right here’s why I’m involved.
What’s it? This can be a new option to ship radiofrequency (RF) into the dermis with probably much less discomfort, much less downtime and extra dependable outcomes. It’s a patented RF cannula inserted into the pores and skin after which moved beneath the pores and skin in a fanning movement to create the warmth that then tightens the pores and skin.
What’s to not like? Like many advertising campaigns, Reveal (the corporate who owns this) is just not making it simple to determine if these outcomes are actual. The know-how is patented by an Italian firm after which licensed by Reveal within the U.S. and being offered as Attiva.
Considerations in regards to the firm Reveal, proprietor of Attiva:
- What’s uncommon is that Reveal is solely a advertising firm and never a tool firm. Normally a tool firm will purchase or license a know-how from a European firm after which vet it themselves. They may publish about it, get FDA approval, and have a number of docs current this at conferences. None of this has occurred but.
- One U.S. plastic surgeon in Denver has developed the protocols to be used and printed earlier than and afters. It’s simple to see how this could possibly be a battle. He’s a key member of the corporate and has a major monetary stake it appears.
- Reveal was began by Cynosure’s advertising group, who left the corporate collectively to start out Reveal. There’s a lawsuit towards Reveal by Cynosure. There hasn’t been rationalization of the dangers of this go well with for the corporate.
Considerations in regards to the knowledge:
- To begin with, there’s little or no knowledge. This gadget was supposedly launched in Europe, however didn’t launch effectively. Why not?
- Is there knowledge from the EU that we’re not seeing?
- Why is all the information within the U.S. from one plastic surgeon who has a major monetary curiosity in Reveal?
- Why is the information not printed?
- Are the earlier than and afters, simply the highest 10% of outcomes? What % of sufferers are getting these wonderful outcomes. The response from our reps was simply that “affected person satisfaction charge has been off the charts”. Kybella had wonderful affected person satisfaction scores till it wasn’t free and was being utilized in extra clinics.
Potential for problems:
- At any time when an excessive amount of warmth wanted to tighten pores and skin is used, there’s a potential for problems like fats divots, uneven outcomes, no outcomes, and so on. For my part, potential problems haven’t been addressed adequately by the corporate.
- We’d all wish to know extra about potential burns, divots, uneven outcomes, coloration issues.
After the expertise with Ellacor, the place problems have been very a lot minimized by the corporate, all of us should be skeptical, I feel.
If anybody is aware of extra, I’d find it irresistible should you’d talk with us by calling our clinic at (206) 939-6633 and leaving a message or happening our web site and contacting us that means.
I hope this helps, and I’d find it irresistible if this was actual…..however is it?
