Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for thyroid nodules is well-known, effective, and safe treatment for treating benign thyroid nodules and recurrent thyroid cancers. Under ultrasound guidance, RF electrode generates frequency and coagulate targeted tissue. For the thyroid RFA, the trans-isthmic approach and moving shot technique are two fundamental methods.

How does STARmed Thyroid RFA work?
A targeted solution for thyroid nodules
STARmed Thyroid RFA works by applying controlled heat directly into the nodule without hurting the surrounding healthy thyroid tissues.
The thermal energy causes the thyroid nodule to shrink over time and the degenerated tissue will flow through your body naturally as waste over the course of a few months.
STARmed Fibroid Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Non-surgical, minimally invasive alternative
The new incisionless, scarless, uterine preserving technique reduces your fibroid symptoms without open surgery
STARmed radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been around for over 20 years. Its efficacy has been proven in many body organs, including the thyroid, liver, biliary system, kidneys, and bone.
Now, STARmed has extended its technology to treat uterine fibroids, introducing a new, less invasive alternative to help women in pain.
How does STARmed Fibroid RFA work?
A targeted solution for fibroids
STARmed Fibroid RFA works by applying controlled heat directly into the fibroid without hurting the surrounding healthy uterine tissues.
The thermal energy causes the fibroid to shrink over time and the degenerated tissue will flow through your body naturally as waste over a few months.
