Clinical application of radiofrequency technology in the treatment of facial skin wrinkles and laxity.

Abstract

Background: Aging is an inevitable aspect of human life, characterized by the gradual decline in the function of individual cells and structural components, including bones, muscles, and ligaments.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical effects of radiofrequency technology in treating facial skin wrinkles and laxity.

Methods: This study included 60 female patients, aged 36-58 years (mean age 47.71 ± 1.56 years), who received focused radiofrequency technology treatment for facial wrinkles and laxity in the Department of Medical Cosmetology at our hospital between January 2021 and June 2022. Each patient underwent three treatment sessions, one every two months. Facial photographs were taken before treatment and one week after the final session. A single physician assessed wrinkle severity using a standardized wrinkle severity scale, and patients completed a satisfaction questionnaire one week after the last treatment.

Results: After three consecutive radiofrequency treatments, performed every two months, patients exhibited significantly reduced wrinkles and skin laxity compared to baseline. One week after the third treatment, the mean facial wrinkle severity score had significantly decreased from 3.00 ± 0.79 to 2.71 ± 0.47 (t = 2.58, P < 0.05). Additionally, 88.24% of patients reported noticeable improvements in facial wrinkles and skin laxity. No serious adverse reactions occurred during or following treatment.

Conclusion: Radiofrequency technology demonstrates significant clinical efficacy in improving facial skin wrinkles and laxity.
