Multipass Vector (Mpave) Technique with Nonablative Radiofrequency to Treat Facial and Neck Laxity

Abstract: BACKGROUND. Redundant facial and neck skin is a major feature of aging and historically has been corrected surgically. Recently, monopolar radiofrequency application has been introduced for nonablative tissue tightening of skin by volumetric heating of the deep dermis. It has been able to improve neck and cheek laxity and periorbital rhytides and to elevate eyebrows. However, questions remain as to the ideal parameters needed to optimize the use of radiofrequency. OBJECTIVE. To determine the safety and report … Show more

“…Subsequent reports suggest that using multiple passes with lower-energy settings are probably safer, more tolerable, and efficacious. 5,6 Multiple treatments also tended to give better results than a single treatment. 7,8 In darker Asian skin, monopolar radiofrequency has been shown to be effective as well in treating facial skin laxity.…”

“…Then, additional vector passes are performed in the direction in which the skin tightening/lift is desired ( Table 1). 27,28 Three to 5 vector passes are performed in the direction of the desired lifting. If the upper lip is treated, wet gauze can be placed between the teeth and upper lip for comfort.…”

“…NARF has been used to reduce wrinkles and saggy skin in the face. 8,9 With this purpose, areas serving as anchoring points are treated thoroughly in order to induce contraction of the skin and ''lifting'' of the areas pending from it. This is why temple areas are treated to reduce nasolabial folds.…”
