Heat Therapy (Diathermy)

Diathermy uses electromagnetic energy to generate controlled heat in tissues, stimulating them deeply and promoting cellular regeneration. This treatment affects both superficial layers (skin and subcutaneous tissue) and deeper layers (muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue). The generated heat activates metabolic processes, improving microcirculation and increasing cellular oxygen supply. This stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity, tone, and firmness. Additionally, it promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and water retention. Through its targeted action, Diathermy offers visible results both on the face, reducing wrinkles and skin laxity, and on the body, improving tone and silhouette. At Image, Diathermy is offered as part of integrated and personalized treatment plans, designed to ensure tangible and lasting results.

About the Treatment

Heat Therapy (Diathermy)

Heat Therapy, or Diathermy, is an aesthetic treatment using capacitive and resistive energy transfer to generate heat in tissues. This approach stimulates mobilization of electrical charges in the body, promoting tissue regeneration and healing.

The treatment provides an immediate visible lifting effect through instant collagen fiber contraction and fibroblast stimulation, which promotes new collagen production. Additionally, the application of specific active ingredients directly into the dermis, chosen based on individual needs, further enhances results, making Diathermy a personalized and effective solution for face and body improvement.

How Diathermy Works

Diathermy is a form of endogenous thermotherapy where heat is generated directly within tissues rather than radiated from outside. During treatment, organic tissue molecules heat differently depending on the chosen application mode: resistive or capacitive.

Regardless of frequency or electrode type, Diathermy is applied following gentle, precise movements along Langer's lines, respecting the natural arrangement of skin fibers.

Non-Aesthetic Applications of Diathermy

Diathermy is particularly effective for its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects, serving as a valuable ally in treating musculoskeletal pain and acute or chronic inflammation. The heat generated directly in tissues stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, promoting natural inflammation reduction. Simultaneously, the thermal effect acts on nerve endings, providing progressive and lasting pain relief.

This combination of benefits makes Diathermy ideal for treating conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, tendinitis, joint trauma, and muscle tension, offering relief and promoting tissue recovery.
