What may occur if the apparatus is taken off the skin during a Radio Frequency treatment (VENUS FREEZE)?

During a Radio Frequency treatment like VENUS FREEZE, the apparatus is designed to deliver controlled heat to the skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. If the apparatus is taken off the skin without proper technique, particularly if there is no glide or consistent contact with the skin, the patient may experience a shock or jolt sensation due to the sudden disconnection from the treatment current. This is because the RF machine relies on maintaining a continuous circuit through the skin for effective and safe operation. When the device is abruptly removed, it can create a disruption in this circuit, leading to a feedback reaction that can be perceived as a shock.

This phenomenon highlights the importance of continuous application of the apparatus during the treatment to ensure client comfort and safety. Maintaining glide and contact with the skin not only enhances the effectiveness of the treatment but also prevents any uncomfortable sensations that could arise from disconnection.
