The Tite FX™ applicator has a large suction cavity on the undersurface of the hand piece with RF electrodes on each side. The hand piece applies suction pressure to the soft tissue, drawing the skin and subcutaneous tissue into the cavity. Bipolar RF is passed between the two electrodes and through the adipose (fat) tissue and the skin.
As the RF heats the tissue, the surface temperature rises. The Tite FX handpiece displays the measured skin surface temperature on the hand piece. When this reaches an endpoint that is established by the operator (the trigger temperature) the device emits a train of High Voltage Pulses (HVP) directly into the adipose (fat) tissue.
TiteFX™ causes irreversible electroporation (the process of creating pores in cell membranes under an internal electrical field, leading to the apoptotic death of cells). This causes the fat cells to die and the adipose (fat) tissue deflates and loses volume, thereby improving body contouring and dermal (skin) tightening aided by the RF energy.
