What is Synergy Dotting?
During each shot delivered in synergy dotting treatment, first, radiofrequency (RF) is emitted to the skin, which is then followed by microfocused ultrasound (MFU). While MFU is focusing on the exact depth, RF provides bulk heating of the upper skin layers, resulting in a more pronounced thermal effect and enhanced generation of collagen.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF RF PREHEATING?
1
IMPROVED
TISSUE
RESPONSE
Preheating the skin with RF can increase the skin’s temperature in the targeted area. This can make the skin more pliable and receptive to the subsequent MFU treatment, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of the MFU energy delivery.
2
ENHANCED
BLOOD
CIRCULATION
RF-induced heat can stimulate blood flow and circulation in the skin. Improved circulation can promote oxygen and nutrient delivery to the treated area, aiding in tissue repair and rejuvenation. This heightened circulation may also contribute to a more efficient response to the MFU treatment.
3
Increased Collagen Activation
The initial heating from RF may trigger a mild thermal injury response, prompting the activation of fibroblasts and collagen production. This can prime the skin for the MFU treatment, amplifying the collagen-stimulating effects and contributing to more robust skin tightening and lifting outcomes.
4
POTENTIAL
COMFORT
IMPROVEMENT
Pre-heating the skin with RF before MFU might help reduce discomfort during the subsequent MFU procedure. The initial warming of the skin can potentially make the skin more accommodating to the focused ultrasound energy, leading to a more comfortable treatment experience.
5
OPTIMIZED
TREATMENT
DEPTH
By pre-heating the skin with RF, the thermal effects can extend into the upper layers, potentially optimizing the depth and energy absorption of the subsequent MFU treatment. This may result in more precise and effective energy delivery to the targeted depths within the skin.

THERMAL
EFFECT
Synergistic heating occurred when Synergy Dotting Treatment was performed. Radiofrequency (RF) was applied before Microfocused ultrasound (MFU). With RF administered before MFU, the combined effect resulted in heightened and more thorough heating across diverse skin depths.

COLLAGEN ACTIVation
RF initiates controlled heating in the superficial skin layers, promoting collagen production. When MFU follows RF, the deeper skin layers are targeted, further stimulating collagen synthesis, resulting in a multi-layered effect that potentially maximizes overall collagen response, enhancing skin firmness and rejuvenation.

ELASTIN GENERATION
The augmented collagen synthesis indirectly supports elastin regeneration by fortifying the skin’s structural matrix. The sequential application of RF and MFU across different skin depths may foster a synergistic environment conducive to more comprehensive elastin regeneration, potentially leading to improved skin resilience and elasticity.
