Phoenix GFX Treatment

Phoenix GFX is a revolutionary new treatment utilizing bipolar radio frequency (RF) technology to target motor nerves, (nerves that initiate muscle action). This treatment ablates the nerve, causing the unwanted furrows to disappear. This Bipolar Radio Frequency technology has been used in lifesaving cardiology treatments for over 10 years. Phoenix GFX uses a patent pending combination of technologies to precisely locate bodily structures, and then apply therapeutic energy. A low intensity stimulator allows us to precisely locate the structure for treatment. Following location, a specific dose of RF energy is applied to effectively ablate a portion of the targeted structure.

The Technique

The skin is cleansed and disinfected. Markings are made to guide to the precise area to be targeted. An anesthetic will be injected to minimize discomfort. A tiny puncture is made in the skin and the GFX needle probe is then inserted. Structures are located through a painless process of electrical stimulation. Using this technique we can precisely locate the targeted structure in preparation for treatment. A precise and controlled dose of RF energy is applied, effectively ablating a tiny section of the targeted structure. Ablation of a section of motor nerve is known to disrupt signals being sent to the muscle. These nerve impulses are what cause the muscle to contract. Once this communication is disrupted, muscle contraction is effectively reduced.
