Skin aging is a gradual process that leads to wrinkle formation, laxity, and overall changes in skin appearance. In recent years, the demands to noninvasive treatments for facial rejuvenation increased, along with a variety of technologies and devices, such as radiofrequency. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of a multipolar radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic field treatment for face and neck rejuvenation. Eleven patients with mild to moderate grades of photoaging underwent eight radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic field treatment sessions, once a week. Clinical photographs were taken before and a week after the end of the treatment, and improvement of facial skin parameters was evaluated by two different investigators. Significant improvement in skin laxity was observed in all eleven patients (100%). Improvement in facial contour was noted in 73% and 100% of patients when analyzed by investigators A and B, respectively. The score for overall improvement in skin condition was 3 ± 0.78 for investigator A and 3.6 ± 0.67 for investigator B. All patients were satisfied with the procedure and noted significant improvement in the skin. The combined multipolar radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic field device is effective and safe for treatment of aged skin in Brazilian patients.
皮肤老化是一个渐进的过程,会导致皱纹形成、皮肤松弛以及皮肤外观的整体变化。近年来,随着包括射频等多种技术和设备的出现,对面部年轻化的非侵入性治疗的需求增加。本研究旨在评估多极射频和脉冲电磁场治疗对面部和颈部年轻化的临床效果。11例轻至中度光老化患者接受了8次射频和脉冲电磁场治疗,每周一次。在治疗开始前和治疗结束后一周拍摄临床照片,并由两名不同的研究人员评估面部皮肤参数的改善情况。所有11例患者(100%)的皮肤松弛情况均有显著改善。研究人员A和B分析时,分别有73%和100%的患者面部轮廓得到改善。研究人员A对皮肤状况总体改善的评分是3±0.78,研究人员B为3.6±0.67。所有患者对该治疗过程均满意,并指出皮肤有显著改善。对于巴西患者,多极射频和脉冲电磁场联合设备治疗老化皮肤是有效且安全的。
