Ellisys Sense: Understanding the SMART DOUBLE SHOT Technology
How controlled dual-depth RF delivery changes tissue response.
SMART DOUBLE SHOT is a patented technology that addresses a practical limitation of many RF microneedling systems: the inability to work efficiently with different tissue depths within a single insertion. Instead of treating the skin as a uniform structure, SMART DOUBLE SHOT reflects a more realistic understanding of tissue behavior — where different layers respond differently to RF energy and require different thermal strategies.
Below is a detailed, practice-oriented explanation of how this technology works and why it matters.
The clinical problem SMART DOUBLE SHOT is built around
Skin is not homogeneous.
During RF microneedling, a single needle penetration passes through:
Each of these layers:
Skin is not homogeneous.
During RF microneedling, a single needle penetration passes through:
- superficial dermal layers
- mid-dermis
- deeper dermal and subdermal structures
Each of these layers:
- has different impedance
- responds differently to heat
- serves a different clinical purpose (texture, tightening, remodeling)
This forces the practitioner to choose:
- either superficial impact
- or deeper stimulation
What SMART DOUBLE SHOT does — technically and clinically
delivers two sequential RF energy pulses at two different depths during a single needle insertion.
In practical terms:
delivers two sequential RF energy pulses at two different depths during a single needle insertion.
In practical terms:
- the needle penetrates once
- RF energy is delivered at a deeper level
- then a second, controlled RF pulse is delivered at a more superficial level
- all within the same insertion cycle
Why dual-depth delivery matters
Different skin layers require different thermal goals:
Deeper dermis
- → structural tightening
- → collagen framework remodeling
Superficial dermis
- → texture refinement
- → pore appearance
- → surface quality
SMART DOUBLE SHOT allows both objectives to be addressed in one controlled movement, rather than fragmenting treatment logic across multiple passes.
Tissue behavior with SMART DOUBLE SHOT
From a tissue-response perspective, the key difference lies in thermal sequencing.
Instead of a single heat peak:
- heat is distributed in two controlled phases
- at two distinct depths
- with predictable dissipation between pulses
This reduces:
- excessive surface thermal load
- uncontrolled deep heating
And increases:
- uniformity of response
- efficiency of energy use
- consistency between sessions
What changes for the practitioner
1. Fewer passes, clearer logic
SMART DOUBLE SHOT reduces the need to choose between:
- “deep pass”
- “superficial pass”
The procedural strategy becomes more integrated rather than layered artificially.
2. Better alignment with anatomical reality
The technology matches how practitioners already think:
- different layers → different goals
- different depths → different energy behavior
SMART DOUBLE SHOT allows this logic to be executed technically.
3. Improved reproducibility
By standardizing dual-depth delivery within one insertion:
- procedural variability decreases
- dependence on manual repetition is reduced
- outcomes become easier to reproduce across patients and sessions
Patient-side implications
Although patients are not aware of “double shots” as a concept, they often experience:
- shorter overall procedure time
- more even post-treatment response
- fewer areas of excessive superficial reaction
This is a result of more efficient energy placement, not increased aggressiveness.
How SMART DOUBLE SHOT is typically used in practice
In real-world workflows, SMART DOUBLE SHOT is often applied when:
- both tightening and texture improvement are treatment goals
- skin quality and density vary across zones
- efficiency and consistency are prioritized over multiple repetitive passes
It is not a replacement for protocol planning, but a way to execute that plan more precisely.
Relationship to Duty and thermal control
SMART DOUBLE SHOT does not work in isolation.
Its full value becomes apparent when combined with:
- controlled Duty settings
- appropriate power selection
- correct depth strategy
Together, these parameters allow the practitioner to manage:
- where RF energy is delivered
- how it is delivered over time
- how much thermal load each layer receives
Why this technology tends to be appreciated later, not first
In practice, SMART DOUBLE SHOT is rarely the first feature practitioners focus on.
Its value becomes clear when:
- experience grows
- limitations of single-depth logic become apparent
- the need for efficiency and repeatability increases
At that stage, dual-depth delivery stops being a “feature” and becomes part of procedural thinking.
Conclusion
SMART DOUBLE SHOT in Ellisys Sense is a technology built around layer-specific RF behavior.
It enables:
- dual-depth thermal stimulation in a single insertion
- better alignment between anatomy and energy delivery
- more efficient, predictable tissue response
Rather than adding complexity, it simplifies execution — by matching the technical process to how skin actually behaves.
