Electroporation

Electrical pulses open cell membranes for direct actives delivery

Duration
30-40 min
Downtime
0-1 days
Sessions
8-10 sessions (1 wk intervals)

About This Treatment

Electroporation (advanced iontophoresis) applies microsecond-level high-voltage pulses to skin, temporarily creating pores in cell membranes. When actives (peptides, DNA, growth factors) applied during pore formation, normally non-penetrating macromolecules directly enter cells. 10-100x deeper penetration than traditional iontophoresis.

Mechanism of Action

100-1,000V high-voltage pulses (microsecond range) alter electrical potential across cell phospholipid bilayer. Temporarily forms ~100nm pores allowing non-penetrating peptides/polynucleotides to cross membrane over 10-20 minutes. Cell membrane auto-repairs; side effects minimal.

Indications

General indication (see detailed description)Wrinkles / fine linesElasticity / firmnessPigmentation / dullnessDNA修復

Expected Results

Immediate elasticity improvement after 1-2 sessions. 30-50% fine line, 40% firmness improvement after 8-10 sessions. Increased skin thickness.
