Tecarpuls has three main effects:

 Increase Temperature 

 Increase Blood Flow   

       Decrease Pain       

Tecarpuls RF waves induce several thermophysiological responses by the conversion of RF energy into heat energy in tissues:

• Rise in tissue temperature (both skin and deep)
• Vasodilatation
• Increased blood flow (both skin and deep blood flow)
• Changes in the rates of biochemical reactions
• Changes in peripheral nerve conduction

(Jauchem 2008, Challis 2005, Adair & Black 2003).

How much  of each of these responses will depend on several factors:

Machine based:

• Frequency

Tissue Based:

• Thermal conductivity
• Thermal capacity
• Rate of energy absorption
• Metabolism
• Dissipating the generated heat

(Kitchen 2008, Petrofsky et al. 2011, McLellan et al.2009, Petrofsky & Laymon 2009).

To date, several thousand studies have examined the interactions between RF and biological systems, showing either advantageous or hazardous effects or both.

These studies have been done in vitro or in vivo, in animals and in human beings.

RF has been done in both continuous and pulsed modes.

Within those studies only 25% were in acute medical conditions.
