Use of Fractionated Microneedle Radiofrequency for the Treatment of Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris in 18 Korean Patients

Abstract: Fractionated microneedle RF can have a positive therapeutic effect on inflammatory acne vulgaris and related scars. In addition, this technique does not worsen active acne lesions.

“…Fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is different from conventional lasers because it does not affect skin color or transmit thermal energy to the dermis. At present, it is used to treat wrinkles, acne scars and hyperhidrosis . There have been few studies evaluating the efficacy of fractional RF microneedling in the treatment of acne.…”

“…RF-based technologies depend for their effect of the resistance or impedance of target tissue to the RF energy, resulting in the creation of heat through Joule's law, and delivery of electrothermal damage, with subsequent greater heat diffusion to deeper tissues as compared to laser-based technologies. The effectiveness of RF energy for the treatment of acne and acne scars has also been reported clinically [13]. Hence we designed the present study to examine what changes RF energy brought about in the dermal architecture of acne scar tissues.…”
