“…3,9,10 In infra-dermal RF, their prophylactic use is even recommended. 7,8 The fact that it is necessary to resort to the use of drugs, such as anesthetics and anxiolytics, to make the treatment bearable for patients, and drugs, such as antibiotics, to resolve situations created by the treatment, may be the subject of discussion. In fact, these are all procedures performed for purely aesthetic purposes.…”

BackgroundThere are many aesthetic treatments aimed at combating aging. In the most common and frequently used ones there are often side effects, albeit minor ones. However, sometimes it is necessary to use medications before or after treatments.ObjectivesTo evaluate the anti‐aging efficacy and application safety of a therapy based on the combination of vacuum and electromagnetic fields (EMFs).MethodsA retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the aesthetic effects of the treatment on 217 subjects. Before treatment (T0) and after the last session (T1), skin hydration levels, the amount of sebum present and the pH were measured. The presence of discomfort during the sessions and side effects at T1 was verified. At T1, the levels of satisfaction of the patients and of the doctors who performed the treatment were assessed. At 3 and 6 months of follow‐up the aesthetic results were re‐evaluated.ResultsFor all treated subjects, an evident qualitative improvement was observed in the quality of the skin of the neck and face, with an increase in tone and a reduction in wrinkles. The instrumental tests highlighted a normalization of skin hydration, pH, and sebum values. High levels of satisfaction at T0 and good stability of results up to 6 months of follow‐up were reported. No discomfort was referred during the treatment sessions, nor any side effects after the entire treatment.ConclusionsThe treatment that exploits the synergy between vacuum and EMFs is very promising given the effectiveness and safety of the technique.

“…43 RFMN is useful in the treatment of a broad variety of dermatological diseases, such as acne vulgaris, melasma, skin rejuvenation and rosacea. 44 Yogya et al 43 evaluated the efficacy of RFMN for reducing wrinkles in a sample of 29 individuals, as well as the combined effect of applying topical polynucleotides (PNs) after RFMN therapy. Every participant received RFMN over the course of three sessions, spaced out by two weeks.…”

Background Fractional radiofrequency (FRF) has been reported to be effective in improving wrinkles. A combination of microneedle and sublative fractional radiofrequency (SFRF) may have the potential synergy to improve photoaged skin. Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined microneedle and SFRF in photoaging management. Methods This prospective study included 12 subjects with moderate photoaging (skin phototype III–IV). The subjects received three consecutive combined microneedle and sublative FRF at 1-month intervals. Punch biopsies were obtained before and after three months of treatment. Routine H&E, Masson-trichrome, Orcein staining, histometric measurements, as well as Collagen type I and Elastin immunohistochemical staining were performed. Results Significant improvement was noticed regarding skin tightening and texture (p < 0.05), rhytides, and volunteers’ satisfaction (p < 0.001). Collagen fibers appeared better organized, with a significant increase in collagen type I (p = 0.001). Meanwhile, normal-appearing elastic fibers were restored, and a significant reduction in abnormal elastin was achieved (p = 0.0005). Conclusion Combined microneedle and sublative FRF may provide a new therapeutic approach for photoaged skin.
