With the ongoing development of cosmetic technology, many different types of radiofrequency (RF) devices are widely used for face and body rejuvenation. These, like many other high-power devices, may emit excessive electromagnetic radiation into the surrounding environment. Long-term exposure to this environment can lead to poor health outcomes; therefore, it is important to measure and analyze the electromagnetic radiation levels for the health and safety of therapists. A handheld electronic electromagnetic radiation measuring instrument was used to measure the electric and magnetic field strengths. All results were analyzed using the R software (R Core Team, 2021-02-15). We found that the monopolar and unipolar RF devices that we measured from, in this study, could produce large amounts of electromagnetic radiofrequency emissions during operation, whereas the microneedle RF (bipolar RF) device emitted relatively lower amounts (P < 0.01). The strength of electromagnetic radiation is related to power and distance; it increases with power and decreases with distance. This study proved that certain RF devices for rejuvenation could cause severe electromagnetic radiofrequency pollution. The occupational health and safety of therapists require more attention, and effective protective measures need to be taken immediately.
随着美容技术的不断发展，许多不同类型的射频（RF）设备被广泛用于面部和身体的年轻化。这些设备与许多其他高功率设备一样，可能会向周围环境发射过量的电磁辐射。长期暴露在这种环境中会导致健康状况不佳；因此，为了治疗师的健康和安全，测量和分析电磁辐射水平非常重要。使用手持式电子电磁辐射测量仪器来测量电场和磁场强度。所有结果均使用R软件（R核心团队，2021年2月15日）进行分析。我们发现，在本研究中所测量的单极和非单极射频设备在运行期间会产生大量的电磁射频辐射，而微针射频（双极射频）设备发射的量相对较低（P < 0.01）。电磁辐射的强度与功率和距离有关；它随功率增加而增加，随距离减小而减小。本研究证明，某些用于年轻化的射频设备可能会造成严重的电磁射频污染。治疗师的职业健康和安全需要更多关注，并且需要立即采取有效的保护措施。
