Buying Your First RF Device: A Guide
The Five-Step Checklist
- Configuration: multipolar + vacuum for high-frequency maintenance; monopolar for deep single sessions (the decision tree).
- Temperature control: monitoring with auto-derating (the temperature window).
- Vacuum: closed-loop control and chamber sizes (the design entry).
- Comfort positioning: for high-frequency clientele, comfort is retention (the vacuum RF).
- Compliance: intended use covering target programs (the scope).
Acceptance Points
- Measured temperature curves and derating behavior.
- Vacuum steps and pressure stability.
FAQ
RF platform or RF microneedling first?
Tightening maintenance: the platform first; scars and pores: microneedling first (the program).
Negotiation and Pairing Points
- Vacuum consumables and PM pack: annualize tubing and filter costs (the vacuum design).
- Live impedance demo: watch the device adapt energy across impedance models on site (the physics).
- Body-applicator bundle: body-program apertures and power unlock the second growth curve (the body line).
Common Errors
- Selling on “maximum power” — the temperature window is the core (the remodeling).
- Ignoring electrode/pad consumable costs.
- Not confirming the registration covers body programs.
