Radiofrequency (RF)

Devices that pass an alternating electric current through tissue to raise its temperature.

Radiofrequency devices deliver an alternating current rather than light. Because the current meets resistance in tissue, energy is converted to heat. Manufacturers describe these devices by frequency, delivered power, electrode arrangement, and the temperature control method.
