SUMMARY
Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Alfredo Hoyos shares his approach to modern body contouring’s core challenge: residual laxity after fat reduction—now surging with post-GLP-1 weight-loss patients. Drawing on his patent and surgeon-led engineering, he introduces QuantumRF on IgniteRF: an internal, bipolar, fractionated RF modality designed to deliver rapid, on-table soft-tissue contraction while preserving workflow in both office and OR settings, demonstrating immediate changes, longer-term outcomes, and how it complements liposuction and selective excisional surgery.
TOPICS COVERED
- Why QuantumRF’s internal bipolar RF design delivers faster, safer soft-tissue contraction compared to monopolar, plasma, and BodyTite.
- Treatment protocols: one-pass per cm², grid vs. fanning patterns, and choosing planes based on pinch test.
- Objective measurement of skin tightening and elasticity using tools like elastometry.
- Integration with other technologies such as VASER and Morpheus8 for comprehensive contouring.
- Applications in abdominoplasty, scar-sparing strategies, and mid/lower face tightening.
