Abstract
Background. Radiofrequency treatment improves skin aging-related concerns by promoting collagen production. However, studies of the efficacy of multifrequency radiofrequency (MFRF) are lacking. Objectives. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of MFRF for patients with aging skin. Methods. Three MFRF treatment sessions were performed for patients with concerns about skin aging. During these sessions, MFRF was applied to the face (but not the forehead). Pores, wrinkles, subjective satisfaction, and side effects were evaluated at the first visit and 4 weeks after the last treatment. Additionally, histological and immunohistochemical evaluations of collagen, elastic fibers, and STRO-1 were performed. Results. Wrinkles and the subjective satisfaction of patients were significantly improved (
and
, respectively). However, there was no significant effect on the number of pores (
). All side effects that occurred after treatment were tolerable and transient. Histological findings revealed thickening of collagen bundles and elastic fibers. Additionally, increases in collagen I, collagen III, and STRO-1 levels were observed using immunohistochemistry. Conclusions. MFRF treatment uses less energy than the existing radiofrequency equipment and can be an effective clinicopathologic modality for facial rejuvenation.
