Scott Im from TenTech 🇰🇷 shares insights on why XTherma focuses on monopolar RF technology for deeper energy delivery and longer lasting results. Innovation backed by science.
Disclaimer: XTHERMA®(U.S. FDA 510K ): is indicated for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.
Monopolar RF enables deeper volumetric tissue heating, while bipolar RF provides more localized and superficial energy delivery.

“Monopolar RF delivers energy deeper into tissue because the electrical current travels from the treatment electrode to a distant grounding pad.”
“In bipolar RF devices, current travels only between adjacent electrodes, thereby limiting the depth of pe*******on.”
