“…Collectively, these results can explain the effects of the FMR device on both scarring and active acne lesions. The level of pain induced by FMR treatment has been reported to be moderate, which is comparable to that of DL . Despite the pain, FMR is being widely used with topical anaesthesia.…”

“…Recently, it was noted that microneedle fractional radiofrequency (MFR) may be a good therapeutic option for acne scars in addition to the its other indications such as large pores, mild rhytids, skin tightening, and photoaging. Effect mechanism of MFR involves penetration of thermal energy into the reticular dermis without any superficial burns and thus induction of new collagen and elastin production and remodeling . Microneedling is also proven to enhance wound‐healing response and collagen and elastin production …”

Summary Background Scarring is an undesirable and severe complication of acne resulting in loss of self‐esteem in young people. Although microneedle fractional radiofrequency (MFR) system has emerged as a good option to treat acne scars in recent years, it was examined in a few studies which were commonly from Asian countries. Aims We sought to evaluate the efficacy of MFR in Turkish patients with facial acne scars. Methods Nine patients with atrophic facial acne scars treated with MFR device were included in the study. The number of treatment sessions was varied from one to five (median three) with 4‐week intervals. Demographic and basal clinical features were recorded. Efficacy of the device was evaluated by the physicians’ global assessment and patients’ self‐assessment scales 4 weeks after the last treatment session. Results Of nine patients, two were male and seven were female (mean age, 31.33 years). Two patients had mild, four had moderate, and three had severe facial acne scars. Mean acne scar age was 13.22 ± 8.79 years. According to the predominant scar subtype, three patients had V‐shaped, three had U‐shaped, and three had M‐shaped atrophic acne scars. A clinical improvement of >25% has been reported in seven patients (77.7%) and eight patients (88.9%) by the physicians and patients, respectively. U‐shaped atrophic acne scars responded better to the treatment than the other types, as statistically nonsignificant. There were no severe side effects. Conclusions Microneedle fractional radiofrequency system showed a quite good efficacy and safety in the treatment of atrophic facial acne scars (Department of Dermato‐Cosmetology, Uludag University Medical School).

“…In contrast, the authors found an improvement in skin dyschromia in 47.4% of the subjects 15 . Naouri et al used a non‐insulated microneedle RF handpiece in 20 patients and found an average improvement of 6.25 (scale of 1–10) with no PIH 16 …”

Aim and objectives Evaluation of the cumulative effect of Radiofrequency Microneedling and fractional Erbium: Glass 1565 laser in moderate to severe acne scars in skin of color. Material and Methods This retrospective study was conducted on 20 patients of skin types III –V having moderate to severe atrophic acne scars. The study was carried out over 1 year from March 2019 to March 2020. Procedure All patients underwent 4 sessions of non‐ablative Fractional Erbium: Glass 1565 laser to alternate with 4 sessions of Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling once a month over 8 months. Results Of the 20 patients enrolled, 18 completed treatment protocol. Two patients were withdrawn from the study because they were unable to attend follow‐up treatment sessions. The subjective evaluation was performed using photographs at baseline, 8 months, and 12 months. A photographic evaluation was performed using the following numeric responses: <25%, 25–50%, 51–75%, and 76–100% difference in severity. None of the patients had worsening of their scars. The improvement in scars was statistically significant. Conclusion The combination of Fractional Erbium: Glass 1565 laser and Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling can be used in the treatment of acne scars in skin of color. Our protocols helped achieve significant improvement of scars.
