Devices using radiofrequency (RF) energy and electrical energy to deliver a controlled thermal injury to heat skin have proliferated within the nonablative skin treatment market since the introduction of Thermage in 2002. By delivering continuous monopolar RF energy, rather than pulsed heating, and repeatedly bringing the skin to therapeutic temperatures until maximal contraction is obtained, the Pelleve Procedure can give obvious cosmetic results confluently over all treated areas painlessly and with no downtime. In this article, the technique, mechanism of continuous RF heating, and apparent treatment requirements to produce these results are presented. Some controversies are also addressed.
自2002年Thermage推出以来，利用射频（RF）能量和电能对皮肤进行可控热损伤的设备在非剥脱性皮肤治疗市场中迅速增加。通过提供连续单极射频能量，而非脉冲加热，并反复将皮肤加热至治疗温度直至获得最大收缩效果，帕罗菲（Pelleve）治疗法可在所有治疗区域均匀地产生明显的美容效果，无痛且无需停工。本文介绍了该技术、连续射频加热的机制以及产生这些效果所需的明显治疗条件。文中还讨论了一些争议点。
