Advantages of Radiofrequency Cryogenic Cutting Technology in the Medical Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Industry

As we all know, in modern medical aesthetic surgery, precise operation and minimization of trauma are crucial for achieving ideal results, ensuring patient safety, and improving postoperative recovery quality. In recent years, medical aesthetic plastic surgery has shown a trend towards refinement and ultra-low trauma. The cryogenic radiofrequency electrosurgical unit, as an advanced medical device, has brought new breakthroughs and developments to medical aesthetic surgery with its safe and efficient working principle and significant advantages.

In plastic surgery, cryogenic cutting primarily refers to the use of radiofrequency cryogenic technology to control the surgical temperature within the range of 40°C to 70°C, thereby achieving precise tissue cutting and immediate coagulation. Its core advantage lies in the minimal depth of thermal damage (typically <0.02mm), which significantly reduces postoperative scarring, edema, and pain, leading to a faster postoperative recovery.‌‌

Application Scenario

• ·   Scar repair and excision: For precise excision of hypertrophic scars or keloids, a low-temperature environment can protect the activity of surrounding collagen, promote in-situ regeneration, enhance healing speed, and result in a less conspicuous scar.

• ·   Removal of benign skin lesions: applicable to the excision of pigment nevi, seborrheic keratosis, and skin papillomas, with incisions free of carbonization and neat edges, facilitating cosmetic suturing.

• ·   Facial rejuvenation surgery: In facelifts or blepharoplasty, it is used for the separation and hemostasis of subcutaneous tissue. Due to minimal thermal diffusion, it can maximize the preservation of neurovascular bundles, reduce postoperative bruising, and shorten the recovery period.

Technical advantages

• ·   Precision and minimally invasive: Compared to traditional high-frequency electrosurgical units, low-temperature cutting avoids tissue traction and produces an extremely thin thermal necrosis layer at the cutting edge, making it particularly suitable for areas such as the face where aesthetic requirements are extremely high.

• ·   Highly effective in hemostasis: Protein coagulation and vascular sealing are achieved simultaneously during cutting, ensuring a clear surgical field and reducing intraoperative blood loss.

• ·   Quick recovery: Due to the mild inflammatory response, there is less postoperative edema, patients experience less pain, and the suture removal time and overall recovery period are shortened.

The RF Electrosurgical Unit RFS-4000K, developed and produced by Beijing Greenland Co., Ltd., integrates both monopolar and bipolar working modes (monopolar working mode at 4.0MHz and bipolar working mode at 1.7MHz). Compared to traditional high-frequency electrosurgical units, the RF Electrosurgical Unit RFS-4000K offers advantages such as low-temperature cutting, minimal thermal trauma, no tissue carbonization, and rapid postoperative recovery, effectively reducing damage to surrounding tissues during aesthetic plastic surgeries. It provides a new solution for aesthetic plastic surgeries.
