Correction of age-related changes of the face skin using radiofrequency micro needling. Brief literature review

Abstract

The problem of choosing a method for skin rejuvenation remains relevant despite a wide selection of conservative and surgical methods for eliminating age-related changes. In recent years, treatment methods for voluminous and traumatic ones have been striving for minimally invasive, quickly feasible with an optimal result that should meet both the needs of patients and doctors. For this reason, injection and hardware methods of rejuvenation began to come to the fore, especially when correcting changes on the face. Cosmetic devices based on radiofrequency can compete in efficiency with laser technology, having their own specific advantages. The aim of the work was to evaluate the available literature sources related to the use of radiofrequency in dermatology and dermatocosmetology, especially for leveling age-related changes in the skin of the face. The available literature sources from Russian and foreign databases (Elibrary, PubMed, Google Academia) were analyzed on the use of radiofrequency and radiofrequency micro needling in dermatocosmetology for facial skin rejuvenation. The analysis showed the widespread use of radio frequency in dermatocosmetology, its high efficiency and safety, however, there are very few full-fledged studies devoted to radio frequency microneedling. In our opinion, radiofrequency microneedling is a significant step forward compared to traditional radiofrequency devices, especially for facial skin rejuvenation by increasing the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. The use of radiofrequency microneedling can be effective for correcting age-related skin changes, especially in the face area, both as monotherapy and in combination with other methods of rejuvenation.
