A newly published document suggests that the Chinese authorities are likely to regulation radiofrequency beauty devices as a medical commodity.
China’s National Institute for Food and Drug (NIFDC) recently published a trio of documents soliciting public opinion on the regulation of portable radiofrequency (RF) beauty devices.
RF therapy is a non-surgical procedure that generates heat to stimulate collagen to tighten and firm the skin.
Aside from being a staple on salon menus, brands such as TriPollar, YA-MAN, NEWA and Panasonic have developed portable versions that claim to be safe and effective enough to deliver anti-ageing results at home.
The NIFDC stated that the guidelines were released to standardise the management of all products that use RF.
