10THERMA

How it works

10THERMA is a monopolar radiofrequency system from TENTECH Inc. Current passes through the tissue and creates heat, which warms the dermis and the tissue beneath it. The warming is intended to tighten existing collagen and to prompt remodeling over the following months. As with others of its type, the operator moves a handpiece across mapped zones and adjusts energy to the area and to the person's comfort.

Good to know

• The catalog lists it as monopolar RF.
• It is considered for general laxity, contour and a loosened lower face.
• Handpiece design, cooling and settings shape sensation and depth.
• Mild redness is possible; the amount of tightening varies by person.

Where 10THERMA sits among similar devices

Within the RF group, 10THERMA fits the same slot as other monopolar units: broad, continuous heating rather than point-by-point energy. The differences between these devices are practical, such as handpiece design and how heat is controlled, and they rarely change which concern the treatment addresses.

For readers choosing between categories, it is the contrast with focused ultrasound and with microneedle RF that matters. Ultrasound concentrates heat in points at depth, while microneedle RF places energy through needles and suits scars and pores better. A monopolar device like this is a closer match to general looseness than to scarring.
