During radiofrequency aesthetic treatments the upper and lower layers of the skin are heated up simultaneously and to the same extent by a high frequency current. From the skin cells fat cells are heated up first. By using TriPollar technology fat cells transform into liquid fat, their metabolism speeds up, and the quantity of fat molecules (liquid fat) getting into the lymphatic and circulatory system increases.

These fat molecules are either integrated into other fat cells (in untreated areas) and do not change body weight, or they are washed out of the body by exercise, dieting and/or by stimulating lymphatic circulation (pressure therapy). After the treatment and during the whole course of treatments ample consumption of fluid is of crucial importance: 2-3 litres of still mineral water every day!

Dermis (the hide, which is responsible for the flexibility and durability of the skin) has a maximum thickness of 5 mms; below it there is the subcutaneous layer (the bottom layer of the skin, responsible for energy storage, thermal insulation and decreasing the effect of bigger physical impacts), where the fat cells are found.

The penetration depth of TriPollar is 20 mm, which means that it attacks fat in the subcutaneous layer at a minimum of 15 mms. The distribution of fat tissue within the skin is different in every area; it depends on genes, age, sex, the amount of exercise, and diet. If the fat layer is thicker than 15 mms, the treatment has to be reapplied several times to reach deeper and deeper every time.
