In resistive mode, the radiofrequency current produces effects in the deeper layers of tissues, namely bones, tendons or ligaments. This makes it possible to treat fibrosis and tissue degeneration in chronic conditions. In capacitive mode, on the other hand, the therapeutic current primarily affects superficial tissues, namely muscles and the lymphatic system, accelerating cell regeneration or muscle relaxation.

In the two modes, both thermal and non-thermal effects can be obtained, depending on the energy level used and the expected effects of the therapy.
