Radiofrequency (RF)-based devices are used to improve face and neck laxity, a major feature of aging that until recently could only be addressed with surgery. Although these treatments are not meant to replace surgical procedures, patient satisfaction studies have been consistently high. For physicians offering these skin rejuvenation procedures, it is essential to have intimate knowledge of how the devices work, select appropriate candidates, set realistic expectations, and combine treatments to optimize outcomes. This article discusses the various noninvasive RF technologies currently in use and reviews pertinent clinical studies evaluating their efficacy and safety.
基于射频（RF）的设备用于改善面部和颈部松弛，这是衰老的一个主要特征，直到最近只能通过手术来解决。尽管这些治疗并非旨在取代外科手术，但患者满意度研究一直很高。对于提供这些皮肤年轻化手术的医生来说，深入了解设备的工作原理、选择合适的候选人、设定现实的期望并联合治疗以优化效果至关重要。本文讨论了目前正在使用的各种非侵入性射频技术，并回顾了评估其疗效和安全性的相关临床研究。
