“…RF devices offer a non‐invasive way to improve wrinkles with little side effects and no downtime. Previous studies about periorbital rhytids, that have been treated by different types of RF devices, have been published . In this study, the VISIA device allowed us to document the minimal changes in periorbital wrinkles, and wrinkle score was calculated with the aid of a computer software that provided us with a 3D photo for close wrinkles observations.…”

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the multisource radiofrequency in periorbital wrinkles treatment using a VISIA imager. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study involving 30 sites in 15 patients. Inclusion criteria: healthy subjects with periorbital wrinkles. Patients underwent five treatment sessions for each site using multisource radiofrequency. VISIA imager was used before and after each treatment, and in 12-week follow-up. The wrinkle scores were calculated and compared between baseline and 12week follow-up. Changing in periorbital wrinkles were evaluated by blinded dermatologist using a scale of 0-3. After the study, patients rated their satisfaction using a scale of 0-3. The study protocol was approved by our institutional human research review committee, according to the ethics guideline of Helsinki (1975). Results: The effect of treatment on subjects on follow-up compared to baseline showed a highly significant difference with P-values <0.05. Only two patients had no improvement according to blind dermatologist assessment of photographs. Thirteen patients reported satisfaction scale between 1 and 3. Conclusions: The multisource radiofrequency is safe and effective in reducing periorbital rhytids, and with the help of VISIA imager we can get more objective data to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency treatment on the periorbital areas.

“…Twelve months after treatment, using the same three-dimensional volumetric assessment method, 15 of the study subjects showed significant volume reduction in the nasal and perioral region, demonstrating longlasting effect. 33 A multicenter trial for midface and lower face skin rejuvenation in which 49 patients received 3 monthly treatments demonstrated that 100% had improvement and 65% had significant improvement on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, and there was a significant reduction in wrinkles and improvement in skin texture at 3 months on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale. 34…”

Radiofrequency Rejuvenation of the “Tweener” Patient: Under, Over, or Through the Skin

2021

The demand for noninvasive facial rejuvenation continues to increase as younger, well-informed patients enter the aesthetic market. We refer to a subset of these patients as “tweeners,” those who present with early signs of neck and facial aging, but who have not yet developed changes significant enough to warrant a traditional excisional surgery approach. Many of these patients are in search of a minimally invasive intervention, a bridge in between observation and surgery. The authors describe their experience with radiofrequency (RF) technology as an in-office tool to address the aging face in a select patient population. This review also attempts to comprehensively search the existing body of literature to describe the RF technologies and devices available for facial rejuvenation. The efficacy and safety profiles of the devices are discussed, and the devices are categorized by their method of RF delivery—over (contact), through (microneedle), and under (percutaneous) the skin.

“…However, a larger heated area may cause epidermal damage, leading to a higher risk of pigmentation, and prolonged downtime. 9,10 FMR is categorized into negative and nonnegative pressure based on the presence or absence of a negative pressure device in the therapeutic hand. It has been well documented that the nonnegative pressure FMR can be used to improve facial skin aging, acne and acne scars, primary axillary hyperhidrosis, and androgenetic alopecia.…”

“…Non‐insulated microneedles transfer energy along the entire needle body, and the radiofrequency heating area is significantly larger than that of insulated microneedles, resulting in better clinical efficacy. However, a larger heated area may cause epidermal damage, leading to a higher risk of pigmentation, and prolonged downtime 9,10 …”

BackgroundSeveral treatment modalities are used for the treatment of periorbital rejuvenation with variable results. Recent studies showed that fractional radiofrequency may be an effective treatment modality for periorbital aging. This study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of negative pressure fractional microneedle radiofrequency (NPFMR) as a treatment for periorbital aging.MethodsTwenty‐five patients with periorbital aging were involved in this study. They were treated two times with an interval of 1 month. The patients were evaluated before treatment and 1, 3, and 6 months after the final treatment.ResultsThe research findings suggest that periorbital wrinkles of the patients were significantly improved by VISIA system (p < 0.05). Physiological indicators detected by MPA10 system showed that compared with before treatment, the hydration increased (p < 0.05) and trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) decreased (p < 0.05) at 3 and 6 months after treatment. The glossiness increased at 1 month after treatment compared to pre‐treatment (p < 0.05) and returned to the baseline level at 3 and 6 months after treatment. There was no significant change in melanin content (p > 0.05). Periorbital dermal thickness of the patients significantly increased at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment according to skin ultrasound (p < 0.05). A periorbital skin biopsy revealed that the collagen fibers in the dermis were significantly thicker and more orderly after treatment, and the expression of type I collagen fibers and elastic fibers was increased compared with that before treatment. One patient developed post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) at 1 month after the first treatment, which improved after active treatment. No other adverse reactions were observed.ConclusionsNPMFR could be an effective and safe treatment modality for the treatment of periorbital aging.
