Abstract
Background: From the initial development of radiofrequency devices to new technologies such as micro-coring, there has been tremendous growth of nonlaser energy-based devices in dermatology over the past few decades.
Objective: To review the origins and development of energy-based devices in dermatology and dermatologic surgery.
Materials and methods: A literature search was conducted on PubMed from inception to February 1, 2025 to identify critical publications on energy-based devices within dermatology.
Results: Since the initial research surrounding radiofrequency-based surgical tools in the 1990s, numerous dermatologists have pioneered the development of energy-based devices to target skin laxity and texture, enhance body contouring, and improve muscle tone. The rise of these energy-based devices has allowed for minimally invasive treatments to address patients' aesthetic concerns with less pain and downtime.
Conclusion: Dermatologists have played a critical role in the advancement behind the rise of energy-based devices for a variety of aesthetic indications. Dermatologic Surgery has published many of the landmark studies behind these devices and continues to be at the forefront of innovation for further research and clinical trials.
