TriPollar is an innovative, proprietary a 3rd generation RF technology developed by Pollogen Ltd. TriPollar harnesses the inherent benefits of RF technology and overcomes the limitations of previous mono-polar and bi-polar technologies. Simple to use and extremely efficient TriPollar treatments deliver immediate visible body and facial contouring effects from the first treatment – and long-lasting aesthetic results without surgery or downtime.

TriPollar technology painlessly delivers focused and optimal RF energy to the skin surface and to subcutaneous fat layers. Controlled energy is delivered via three or more electrodes, centered between them, and limited only to the treatment area. This focused delivery results in improved treatment efficacy that provides immediate visible results from the 1st treatment. The treatment is painless and pleasant because of the relatively low power needed. 

Targeted facial treatment regenerates collagen fibers in the dermis layer. Targeted body treatments shrink fat cells in the hypodermis layer and accelerate collagen regeneration. 

The elastic fibers of the skin, collagen and elastin are produced by fibroblasts. As they are heated, they contract and collagen strands are pulled closer resulting in immediately tightened skin. The deep heating effect in turn accelerates the fat cell metabolism to augment collagen regeneration over the full treatment course.

The desired result: tighter, younger looking skin immediately and long-term skin remodeling. 

Heating the fat cells accelerates fat metabolism and causes fat cells to shrink. The rise in temperature forces fat cells to secrete fatty acids (liquid fat), which is disposed of via the blood and lymph system. The desired result: fat and circumference reduction and improved cellulite appearance. 

Clinical trials have demonstrated average reduced tummy circumference of 4.5 cm ± 2.7; average reduced thigh circumference of 2.4 cm ±2.0; average reduced buttocks circumference of 3.1 cm ±1.7;and average reduced arm circumference of 2.1 ± 0.7 cm.

There is a possibility of erythema and edema appearing after the TriPollar treatment session. Typically, these symptoms are transient and will disappear within two hours. In rare cases, slight erythema and edema could persist for between 1 and 2 days. In case of excessive erythema or edema, soothing agents can be applied. 

How does the body dispose of the fat after TriPollar treatments?
The TriPollar treatment selectively heats the fat cells in the deep and superficial adipose layers simultaneously. Heating the fat cells increases their natural metabolism, resulting in increased secretion of fatty acids into the surrounding extra-cellular space. The heating also increases the blood circulation in the area, accelerating metabolism that physically helps the blood and lymphatic system dispose of the fatty acids naturally.

What Cellulite is and what it isn't.

What most of us know as cellulite is actually its outward symptom: dimpled, orange-peel skin. But contrary to the popular belief that it’s just a particularly unattractive skin condition, cellulite is a disease of the connective tissues. The puckered external look of cellulite is just the tip of the iceberg.
The deterioration of the skin’s appearance coincides with the more serious alteration of the body’s underlying connective tissue and the microcirculation impairment and enlargement of fat cells that occurs when fat and toxins become trapped within. Although cellulite IS a form of fat, its causes and cures have little to do with diet, exercise or lifestyle. It can result from a complex combination of factors ranging from hormones to heredity.

Who gets it?
It is estimated that 95% of women over 20 will develop some degree of cellulite. And that includes naturally thin women, ultra-slender super-models, women devoted to a healthy lifestyle and diet, and toned athletes. In women, fat occurs in large vertical bundles or chambers, but in men it is arranged as small, diagonal units. In addition, women have a deep reserve layer of fat in certain areas of the body that men do not. Men usually do not develop cellulite because the organization of their body fat is different. In females, septum is perpendicular to the surface of the skin, as components of the vertical pockets. In males, the septa intersect, forming smaller, polygonal-shaped chambers. This shape distinction, combined with the thicker dermis of the male, makes the skin more resistant to fat storage and less influenced by structural changes (deformed fat cells).

What are the most common types of cellulite?
Compact cellulite is characterized by a hardening or “fibrosis” of the connective tissue, often due to poor lymphatic circulation and is typically found in older women. This is probably the hardest kind of cellulite to get rid of because it has accumulated deep in the tissues over a long period of time. Compact cellulite can be sensitive or even painful to the touch.
Watery or spongey cellulite contains more fluid than fat and is often linked to heredity. Women who are thin on top can have watery cellulite, causing a misshapen appearance in the thighs.
Localized cellulite is more superficial than other types. “Saddlebags” are a classic example of localized cellulite, which is often found in otherwise slender women. Women frequently try to diet or “exercise” this kind of cellulite away, with a frustrating lack of success.
Spread cellulite is found all over the thighs and buttocks, also in very thin women. It is never “spongey,” meaning that it contains more fat than fluid.

Physicians now have access to new, sophisticated tools and testing methods that can accurately “type” cellulite so that the most effective treatment can be prescribed. It is recommended that all women consult their physicians before considering or undergoing any kind of treatment for cellulite.
