Abstract
AbstractObjectiveSkin laxity and wrinkling are common signs of the aging process. This physiological condition of the skin is often accompanied by psychological and social concerns, especially for females, entailing considerable expenses for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to cease or slow down its advancement.The objective of this study was to evaluate the short‐term impact of a new non‐ablative radiofrequency device available in the skin face cosmetic field.MethodsA randomized study was run on 62 healthy subjects with normal‐age related–grade skin laxity, subdivided into two groups. Group 1 received one treatment with Modula RF device (Wavemed, San Cesareo RM, Italy) over the whole face surface. Group 2 received three monthly treatments.ResultsClinical improvements of the exposed areas were detected by measuring skin parameters, such as total water content, elasticity, and sebum levels at baseline and 1 h after the treatment. Data showed significant effects of Med‐RF treatment on skin hydration (p< 0.001), skin elasticity (p< 0.0001), and sebum (p= 0.0009). Moreover, a negative linear correlation was obtained between women's age and hydration.ConclusionIn conclusion, the results of this study suggest that radiofrequency significantly improves the subjective and objective judgment of patients and doctors, supported by the positive results obtained on the skin quality parameters evaluated. These results confirm that Med‐RF technology represents an important tool to achieve face rejuvenation in the field of non‐invasive procedures.
