Apollo Duet combines multiple technologies including 4th generation multipolar Radio Frequency, simultaneous Electroporation and Iontophoresis, as well as a heating and cooling function. The combination of these technologies provides an extremely effective anti-ageing treatment, as well as treating problematic skin conditions such as inflamed, irritated skin, acne, pigmentation, seborrhea, rosacea and couperose.
The dual Electroporation and Iontophoresis function is a highly effective method of introducing active substances into the dermis to repair and restore the skin and boost hydration in preparation for Radio Frequency. Electroporation opens micro-channels in the skin, while iontophoresis ‘pushes’ ionic solutions into the skin tissue enabling maximum absorption of actives. This can also be combined with a skin heating and cooling function (-20°C – +45°C) to stimulate fibroblasts and generate new collagen.
The Apollo Duet RF mode employs advanced multipolar Radio Frequency technology which emits radio frequency currents, pulsing through 4 flat electrodes to heat the water molecules in the dermis, up to a temperature of 42°C. Heating and maintaining that constant temperature for at least 5 minutes visibly firms and tightens skin. The built-in temperature sensor in the RF handle allows practitioners to safely control their patients’ skin temperature in real-time and to adjust the treatment accordingly.
The treatment itself is pain free and requires no downtime.
