The phenomenon as independent electro thermal tissue coagulation around each electrode of bipolar radio frequency.
Previously discovered radio frequency treatments were either ineffective or unsafe, with short-lived and limited results.
However, through a study published in Nature Publishing Group’s Scientific Reports, renowned doctor and scientist Jongju Na was able to find the key method for the safest and most effective RF treatment. He named this discovery the “Na effect”.
The distinguishing factor of this phenomenon is the achievement of independent tissue coagulation around each microneedle electrode. While previous RF systems were only able to produce a widespread area of coagulation around the whole area of skin targeted, leading to an ineffective treatment with little to no results, the Na Effect allows for incredible skin rejuvenation.
The proven science behind the Na effect is what allows the Scarlet SRF to deliver state-of-the-art care and healing for people of all skin types and issues.
“Nevertheless, the emission of RF energy for more than 1 second produced a cocoon-shaped area of coagulation around each microneedle electrode which is the area with higher current density, and then convergent areas of coagulation in the areas with lower current density between the microneedles as inter-electrode currents passed between electrodes: we suggest naming our novel finding of independent tissue coagulation around each electrode as a “Na effect” to distinguish it from other RF tissue reactions.”
