Hi, having been an EMT for 4 years and exposure to 2 patients with severe
burns, first RF not only heat burns the skin, it also cooks or damages the
tissue in under the skin. you dont feel it but the damage is there! also if
the nerves have been destroyed how does the body know it is damaged and
needs to be repaired? all these questions lead to one thing:
Be Careful, dont take a chance and get burned or possibly Electrocuted!
