On 23 November 2024, CLNQ hosted the Inmode workshop on the new Ignite RF platform and Facetite in Manchester. InMode is a leading provider of innovative medical technologies, specializing in minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic treatments. Their suite of products utilizes advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology to address various cosmetic concerns, offering effective solutions with reduced recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. The workshop was led by their key opinion leader Dr George Christopoulos and had delegates from Huddersfield, Nottingham, Manchester and Hale.

IgniteRF Platform

The IgniteRF platform is InMode’s comprehensive minimally invasive workstation designed for soft tissue contraction across multiple tissue depths. It encompasses a range of technologies, including BodyTite, FaceTite, Morpheus8, and the QuantumRF family of products, providing a versatile suite of RF solutions for various aesthetic and surgical needs.

FaceTite

FaceTite is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt fat and stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter and more lifted skin. The treatment involves small incisions through which controlled RF energy is applied to targeted areas of the face and neck, effectively contouring and tightening the skin without the need for extensive surgery. The Facetite procedure was performed during the workshop and treated a patient for the lower face and jawline. This was combined with Morpheus8 and some fat transfer.

Mechanism of Action of FaceTite

FaceTite works by delivering RF energy beneath the skin’s surface, heating the dermal and subdermal layers. This controlled heating melts unwanted fat and stimulates the body’s natural collagen production processes. The result is a reduction in fat deposits and improved skin elasticity, leading to a more youthful and contoured appearance. The procedure is designed to be safe and effective, with built-in safeguards such as real-time temperature monitoring to ensure patient safety.

QuantumRF

QuantumRF is an advanced minimally invasive technology within the IgniteRF platform, designed for soft tissue contraction. It employs fractionated radiofrequency to target deeper tissue layers, offering effective results without the need for invasive surgery. The Quantum technology was developed by Dr Alfredo Hoyos who has trained our lead surgeon Mr Nassab. The QuantumRF family includes devices like QuantumRF 10 and QuantumRF 25, tailored for smaller and larger treatment areas, respectively. These devices deliver deep, pulsed bipolar RF energy to the subdermal plexus, resulting in efficient procedures with minimal downtime.

This was a highly educational event at our Manchester clinic highlighting the advances in technology and techniques.
