Medical RF Facelift — Protégé Elite

Protégé Elite is a BTL medical device using monopolar radiofrequency at 90W — among the highest power outputs available in cosmetic RF. The CRT (Collagen Replenishment Technology) delivery mode monitors skin impedance in real time and adjusts energy output to maintain a consistent thermal effect at the correct tissue depth. This prevents both under-treatment (too little energy) and surface overheating (too much energy reaching superficial layers), which…

The mechanism of RF skin tightening is thermal: the high-frequency alternating current generates resistive heat in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, denaturing existing collagen fibrils (causing immediate mechanical contraction) and triggering a fibroblast healing response that produces new collagen over the following 3–6 months. The Protégé Elite's monopolar configuration allows deeper tissue penetration than bipolar devices — reaching the reticular…

During treatment at Estetika Tábor, the session feels like a warm massage — clients often describe it as one of the more comfortable energy-based treatments. A face and chin session lasts approximately 75–90 minutes. No anaesthesia is required; mild redness that appears during treatment resolves within 24 hours. There is no sun restriction associated with Protégé Elite, meaning it can be performed year-round without concern for photosensitivity — an…
