The aesthetic diathermy is a novel treatment of great use in the medical, physiotherapeutic and aesthetic fields. The diathermy uses electromagnetic technology, which is applied locally to the area to be treated and provides heat to the tissues that require it. Numerous benefits are thus obtained: improved blood flow, reduction of pain and inflammation, muscle relaxation, etc.
To understand what diathermy in aesthetics is, it is essential to refer to the processes of revitalisation and rejuvenation of the skin. In addition, this ultramodern technology is also used for liposculpture treatments.
What is aesthetic diathermy?
Aesthetic diathermy is developed with safe and non-invasive equipment, its functions are corporal and facial and it can be used in medical-aesthetic treatments and physiotherapy.
The main purpose of aesthetic diathermy is to revitalise the skin through physical processes that activate natural phenomena. The most important are the stimulation and restructuring of the body's collagen.
In the work with diathermy, this restructuring of the deep collagen is fundamental, i.e. the formation of new and more beautiful fibres of this protein, eliminating and replacing the previous ones and providing more smoothness and elasticity. Diathermy offers visible results on the skin from the first application, thanks to the retraction produced by collagenesis phenomena.
In addition to the rejuvenation phenomena, the aesthetic diathermy machines help to reshape the body, accelerating the metabolism of fats. This significantly reduces their volume and associated problems, such as cellulite.
But the benefits of treatment with diathermy devices go beyond beauty, as they have a recognised and widely sought-after use in treatments on muscular tissues that favour the recovery of injuries and muscle toning. For this reason, it has also been widely used in physiotherapy and sports medicine centres.

The benefits of this type of treatment are many and are visible from the first application. However, some people are still wondering what diathermy is for. Well, its results are evident both from an aesthetic point of view and in its application in physiotherapy.
In aesthetic terms, the main virtue of diathermy is its ability to generate new collagen and eliminate old collagen. This results in healthier, younger and more beautiful skin. And, if we focus on body treatments, diathermy for cellulite or to reduce the abdomen is also very useful and effective.
As for its application in physiotherapy, its lymphatic, anti-inflammatory, soothing, relaxing, anti-scarring and restructuring properties stand out. Many types of body ailments can be reduced thanks to its action. And, of course, the preventive power of diathermy treatment is also remarkable.

Diathermy treatments
What is aesthetic diathermy used for?
> Stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles and expression lines: The forehead area and the corners of the lips are the main areas to be treated. The eye contour is also improved and bags and dark circles under the eyes are considerably reduced.
> Firming, lifting and rejuvenating effect: the skin is smoothed, firmed and acquires a youthful, healthy and luminous appearance. It is as if the patient had undergone a facelift, but without the discomfort associated with this surgical procedure.
> Redefines facial and eye contours: facial and eye lines and boundaries are better marked, recovering their original state and offering a youthful and renewed image. In short, in facial diathermy the before and after is always impressive.

> Body modelling: critical areas of the body can be reshaped to make them smoother and firmer. We are mainly talking about diathermy for the abdomen, buttocks, arms and thighs, which are treated painlessly and without chemicals.
> Breast augmentation and firming: lifting the breasts or increasing their size is also possible thanks to aesthetic diathermy. Compared to cosmetic surgery, this treatment eliminates localised fat and restores the original firmness to the breasts without the need for surgery.
> Cellulite, stretch marks, flaccidity: the thermal action of diathermy is also key to reducing fatty tissue in any area of the body. The most annoying skin imperfections are effectively combated, allowing the body to regain its tone.
> Physiotherapy care, deep massage against pain and injuries: In the field of physiotherapy, thermotherapy is always highly recommended. In fact, diathermy for the back, for example, has proven to be very successful on many occasions.
> Preventive against injuries: diathermy current and its thermal effect are highly recommended to prevent the onset or aggravation of injuries. Thus, for example, it is very common to opt for this treatment to postpone or avoid surgery in cases of disc herniation. By applying heat locally and deeply to the affected areas, the pain is considerably reduced.
> Tissue regenerator, improves metabolism: The healing power of diathermy applied to physiotherapy is another of the strengths of this treatment. Ligaments, tendons, bones and joints recover more quickly and relaxation is increased in the affected areas.
> Stimulates microcirculation, improves oedema: The annoying and unsightly oedemas that form in the legs are also treated with diathermy, as it is able to improve circulation and reduce swelling.

Capacitive and resistive diathermies
It is essential to know in depth what capacitive diathermy is, what resistive diathermy is and what each one is used for. Above all, in order to always guarantee the best results in each case. Although the same equipment is used for their application, their effects are very different. While capacitive diathermy focuses on the muscles and its action is more superficial, resistive diathermy focuses its action, much deeper, on tendons, ligaments and bones.
Is diathermy the same as radiofrequency?
Many people mistakenly think that diathermy and radiofrequency are the same thing. Although both techniques are used to achieve very similar aesthetic and body effects, their mechanics and results are not entirely comparable.
Specifically, the main difference between diathermy and radiofrequency has to do with their capacity for action and their scope. Thus, with radiofrequency what is generated are slight punctures at a rather superficial level. Whereas diathermy reaches the deepest layer of the dermis, managing to naturally re-establish its own collagen production.
The confusion arises because very often reference is made to radiofrequency diathermy treatments. This is, rather, one of the diathermy techniques that can currently be offered, which, moreover, offers very similar results to the others.
It stands out for its unique combination of high-frequency electromagnetic waves and the thermal effect that penetrates deeply into the area to be treated.

Contraindications to diathermy
In general, diathermy and the opinions that professionals and users have about it are positive. This is due, in part, to the fact that its effects on the face and body can be seen practically from the very first moment.
However, like any other medical-aesthetic technique, diathermy treatment has some contraindications. The aesthetic professional is aware that it is not advisable to opt for diathermy to treat any problem or ailment if the patient presents:
> Metal or active implants, such as a pacemaker.
> Infections in the area to be treated.
> Cancer of any kind.
In addition, diathermy is also contraindicated for pregnant or menstruating women.
Side effects of diathermy
On the other hand, out of responsibility and precaution, technical professionals who are going to carry out any type of treatment must always indicate to the patient if there are any side effects. However, in the particular case of diathermy treatment, these effects are non-existent.
Provided it is not applied to patients in any of the contraindicated situations, no side effects have been reported following diathermy treatment.
