Theory
FREEZEWAVE is a non-invasive microwave therapy that selectively targets fat cells using controlled microwave energy to safely, effectively, and non-invasively reduce localized fat deposits and cellulite. Microwave stimulation causes fat cells to release lipids, disrupts the connective tissue responsible for the orange peel effect, and simultaneously stimulates collagen and elastin production in surrounding tissues. This helps improve skin firmness and elasticity, resulting in smoother skin.
The device operates at a frequency of 2.45GHz, which is preferentially absorbed by fat molecules rather than water molecules. Since the epidermis and dermis are rich in water content rather than fat, their conductivity is significantly lower than that of subcutaneous tissue. Therefore, when applied to the skin, the energy passes directly through the surface layers without overheating them. Only 20% of the cold wave energy produces a thermal effect, while the majority (approximately 80%) effectively targets subcutaneous fat, disrupting fat cells and dissolving localized fat deposits. Subsequently, the fats and debris on damaged cell membranes are cleared by the body's inflammatory repair cells and expelled through the lymphatic system.
The integrated cooling system creates a barrier between the energy source and the skin, protecting the epidermis and dermis while precisely targeting the subcutaneous fat tissue. This eliminates the risk of overheating the skin directly beneath the electrodes, as seen in radiofrequency systems. This ensures safety and enhances customer comfort.
