Abstract

Objectives

To investigate the efficacy of Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (FRM) in treating corticosteroid-induced facial erythema.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted involving eight patients diagnosed as corticosteroid-induced facial erythema. Each patient underwent a single session of FRM. Evaluative measures included Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA), Patient's Self-Assessment (PSA), assessment of telangiectasia severity, procedure-associated pain (10-point scale), patient satisfaction (3-point scale) and secondary outcomes.

Results

The study found a 75% success rate and 100% effectiveness rate in alleviating erythema symptoms. CEA and PSA scores decreased by 67.7% and 78.1%, respectively. No cases of erythema rebound were recorded during the 3-month follow-up period.

Conclusions

FRM demonstrated effectiveness and safety in treating facial erythema, offering promising advancement in dermatologic therapeutics.

使用点阵射频微针有效治疗皮质类固醇引起的面部红斑

目的探讨点阵射频微针疗法（FRM）在治疗皮质类固醇引起的面部红斑方面的疗效。方法对 8 名确诊为皮质类固醇引起的面部红斑患者进行回顾性研究。每位患者都接受了一次 FRM 治疗。评估指标包括临床医师红斑评估（CEA）、患者自我评估（PSA）、毛细血管扩张严重程度评估、手术相关疼痛（10 分制）、患者满意度（3 分制）和次要结果。CEA和PSA评分分别下降了67.7%和78.1%。结论FRM 在治疗面部红斑方面表现出了有效性和安全性，是皮肤病治疗领域的一大进步。
