What Is RET‑CET Technology? Deep Dive into Diathermy CST Therapy
Understanding RET and CET in TECAR Diathermy
RET (Resistive Electric Transfer) and CET (Capacitive Electric Transfer) are the two core modes of TECAR therapy—short for "Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive." This advanced form of diathermy delivers high-frequency electromagnetic energy deep into tissues, triggering cellular stimulation, pain relief, and muscle recovery. RET mode targets deeper, resistive tissues like joints, tendons, and bones, while CET works on more superficial, capacitive tissues such as skin, blood vessels, and lymphatic systems.
Mode | Primary Target | Use Case |
---|---|---|
RET | Deeper structures (bone, fascia) | Chronic injuries, post-op recovery |
CET | Superficial tissues (skin, vessels) | Edema, skin tightening, detox |
How RET‑CET Stimulates Healing and Regeneration
Unlike traditional heating methods, RET‑CET uses endogenous heating—producing warmth from within the body rather than applying heat externally. The 448 kHz or similar RF frequency increases microcirculation, accelerates metabolism, and enhances cellular repair. The combined effect of RET and CET promotes:
- Faster tissue oxygenation
- Reduced inflammation and swelling
- Muscle relaxation and contracture relief
- Boosted fibroblast and collagen activity
Thermal Effect | Physiological Result |
---|---|
Endogenous heating | Activates deep tissue metabolism |
Capacitive conduction | Stimulates lymphatic drainage |
Resistive conduction | Targets joint stiffness and fibrosis |
Who Can Benefit from RET‑CET Diathermy?
RET‑CET is ideal for both aesthetic and medical settings. It supports beauty goals (like cellulite reduction or skin tightening) and therapeutic needs (like muscle repair or chronic pain management). The technology is widely used in:
- Physical therapy clinics
- Medical spas and beauty salons
- Sports rehabilitation centers
- Orthopedic and post-surgery recovery plans
Clients with the following conditions benefit most:
- Chronic back and joint pain
- Soft tissue injuries or scarring
- Fatigue, poor circulation, or puffiness
- Loose or aging skin
Condition | RET‑CET Role |
---|---|
Tendinitis or joint injury | Deep resistive therapy for pain and healing |
Sagging skin | CET mode improves firmness and tone |
Post-surgical recovery | Promotes blood flow and scar softening |
Conclusion: RET‑CET as a Powerful Tool in Your Practice
RET‑CET diathermy is a versatile, evidence-based technology that supports both beauty and medical wellness goals. It works faster, deeper, and more selectively than traditional RF or superficial therapies. If you’re a clinic, therapist, or spa owner looking to expand treatment offerings, explore our RET CET Technology machines designed for professional-grade therapy.
