Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a unipolar focused-RF device used to rejuvenate the middle and lower face and to create an assessment system. This retrospective study comprised 52 patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity and wrinkles who received 1–3 treatments 1 month apart and were followed up for 1–7 months. At baseline and post-treatment, three blinded observers measured facial contour and lines, analyzed VISIA scores, and assessed the results using Alexiades Comprehensive Grading Scale (ACGS) and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). Significant improvements were observed (P < .05) in facial width (left 5.95%, right 5.66%), nasolabial folds (left 18.98%, right 20.56%), marionette lines (left 18.88%, right 25.80%), and cheek lines (left 3.35%, right 3.05%) and in the scores of wrinkles (15.37%), texture (13.67%), pores (6.48%), and red areas (6.57%) using VISIA. There was an obvious reduction in wrinkles, laxity, erythema/telangiectasia based on ACGS, and 75% improved and 5.8% much improved using GAIS. There was no severe side effect. We suggest that the unipolar focused-RF device is an effective and safe technique for middle and lower face rejuvenation and provides a series of comprehensive assessment methods based on standardized photos using VISIA.
聚焦射频装置用于中、下面部年轻化的临床疗效和安全性:回顾性临床研究
本研究的目的是评估单极聚焦射频设备用于中、下面部恢复活力的有效性和安全性,并建立一个评估系统。本回顾性研究纳入52例轻度至中度皮肤松弛和皱纹患者,每隔1个月接受1 - 3次治疗,随访1 - 7个月。在基线和治疗后,三名盲法观察者测量面部轮廓和线条,分析VISIA评分,并使用Alexiades综合评分量表(ACGS)和全球美学改善量表(GAIS)评估结果。在面部宽度(左5.95%,右5.66%)、鼻唇沟(左18.98%,右20.56%)、线线(左18.88%,右25.80%)、颊纹(左3.35%,右3.05%)以及皱纹(15.37%)、纹理(13.67%)、毛孔(6.48%)和红区(6.57%)评分方面,使用VISIA均有显著改善(P < 0.05)。在ACGS的基础上,皱纹、松弛、红斑/毛细血管扩张明显减少,75%的患者改善,5.8%的患者改善。没有严重的副作用。我们认为单极聚焦射频装置是一种安全有效的中下面部年轻化技术,并提供了一系列基于VISIA标准化照片的综合评估方法。
