Fractional Skin Resurfacing
ENDYMED PRO™ is a computerised system that generates pulses of radio frequency (RF) energy, which are emitted into the skin. RF energy heats the tissue to trigger collagen remodelling for the treatment of wrinkles and rhytides.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR) can cause a pattern consisting of multiple tiny ablation spots for skin resurfacing.
The FSR handpiece contains a matrix of 112 tiny RF electrodes employing ENDYMED’s proprietary 3DEEPⓇ technology. The microelectrodes grid is divided into sets of columns, in a manner that each column is considered a single phase of the RF generator (a “single” electrode). The tip can drive up to 6 columns simultaneously. Skin resurfacing is achieved via the effect of ablation of the epidermis (or part of it), combined with heat delivery to the dermis, to achieve collagen formation and remodelling.
The ENDYMED FSR applicator can improve the appearance of different texture problems in the skin. Doctors around the world have reported that the effect of the FSR treatment improves the appearance of wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars and overall texture and vitality of the skin. Experience has demonstrated that the FSR has improved the appearance of pigmentation in some cases; however, since RF energy is “Colour Blind” one should not expect a complete or any removal of any kind of pigmentation marks.

During the Treatment
Skin will be cleaned and disinfected. Anaesthetic cream will be applied for a suitable duration of time to take effect, and thereafter removed. A test shot will be given. If the clinical effect is deemed appropriate, the rest of the area will be treated. Post-treatment products are then applied.
