A frequent demand among the female and male population is the reduction of facial wrinkles and pores, and additionally, the improvement of the facial skin texture preferentially achieved by noninvasive treatments.
The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of acoustic wave therapy (AWT) and extracorporeal pulse activation therapy (EPAT) technology using mechanical waves in the treatment of facial skin.
Treatment was performed on the face of 12 patients, with the D-ACTOR 200 (Storz Medical AG) using radial acoustic wave technology, EPAT. Within 6 weeks, six acoustic wave treatment sessions have been performed. A follow-up visit was performed 6 weeks after the last treatment.
Measurements with the 3D camera system clearly and objectively demonstrate a significant diminution in facial wrinkles and pores. Additionally, an improvement in skin texture was recognized.
This study, although performed on a small number of patients, tends to show the safety and efficacy of radial AWT in treating facial wrinkles, skin texture, and pores and in a noninvasive way.
女性和男性群体的一个常见需求是减少面部皱纹和毛孔，并优先通过非侵入性治疗改善面部皮肤质地。
本研究的目的是展示使用机械波的声波治疗（AWT）和体外脉冲激活治疗（EPAT）技术对面部皮肤治疗的疗效和安全性。
对 12 名患者的面部使用 D-ACTOR 200（Storz Medical AG）进行径向声波技术治疗，EPAT。在 6 周内，进行了六次声波治疗。在最后一次治疗后 6 周进行随访。
3D 相机系统的测量结果清楚且客观地显示出面部皱纹和毛孔明显减少。此外，皮肤质地也得到了改善。
尽管本研究仅在少数患者中进行，但倾向于表明径向 AWT 在非侵入性治疗面部皱纹、皮肤质地和毛孔方面的安全性和有效性。
