Deep Heat Therapy

Deep Heat Therapy (Diathermy)

Deep Heat Therapy, also known as Diathermy, is an advanced aesthetic treatment that generates heat within the tissues through capacitive and/or resistive energy transfer. This process triggers a biological and electrochemical activation, promoting tissue healing by mobilizing the electric charges present in our body. The technology has been widely used in sports medicine as Tecar therapy and has proven effective in addressing various aesthetic concerns on both the face and body. Deep Heat Therapy produces an immediate and progressive lifting effect by contracting collagen fibers and stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen. The treatment can be customized with specific active ingredients delivered to the dermis, optimizing results based on individual needs. There are two modes of application: resistive and capacitive. In resistive mode, a non-insulated metal electrode contacts the body, generating more heat in areas of higher resistance such as bones, joints, tendons, cartilage, and adipose tissue. In capacitive mode, an insulated electrode contacts the body, producing more heat in the area beneath the electrode, including the dermis, muscles, and vascular and lymphatic systems. Regardless of the frequency or electrode type used, the treatment is performed with gentle movements following specific lines called Langer's lines. Deep Heat Therapy offers numerous benefits. Resistive diathermy is particularly effective for localized fat deposits, abdominal adiposity, fibrous cellulite, and provides pain relief and anti-inflammatory action, especially in cases of osteoarthritis and arthritis. Capacitive diathermy is ideal for addressing skin laxity due to gravity, rapid weight loss, or progressive loss of subcutaneous tone. It is also effective for edematous cellulite and provides pain relief for acute problems such as sprains, contusions, and muscle strains. On the face, neck, and décolletage, it is used to improve skin tone and treat superficial wrinkles.
