Multipolar RF devices use three or more electrodes that take turns delivering energy. That spreads heat more evenly than single-pair (bipolar) devices, so the skin warms comfortably at lower energy.
Our pick: the TriPollar Stop Vx2. TriPollar is the best-known multipolar brand for home use, and the Vx2 adds muscle stimulation.
