A temperature-controlled radio frequency combined with ultrasounds and laser for skin laxity and cellulitis

Abstract

Skin laxity and Oedematous Fibrosclerotic Panniculopathy are common issues affecting the women population. Finding and developing treatments to counteract ageing indications and conform to social norms of beauty has been increasingly important in aesthetic medicine in recent times. Many non-invasive techniques, including radiofrequency, lasers, and ultrasounds, have been created. This study used a multi-handpiece device with laser (808 nm) and ultrasound (37 kHz) handpieces, as well as radiofrequency and various temperature-controlling applicators depending on the body site (3 or 6 tips). Based on their clinical features, 12 women with skin laxity on their arms, face/neck area, or lower limbs at phases I–III were divided evenly into two study groups. The majority of patients reported ‘Excellent-3’ treatment outcomes after it was over, and their impression of the course of treatment was generally better than the investigators. An objective analysis of the anthropometric measurement data shows a progressive decrease in circumferences, tight plicometry and body weight. In summary, the specific use of an radiofrequency handpiece with a temperature sensor decreased the likelihood of side effects, even with a small study population group. This increased patient compliance with treatment and overall satisfaction with the outcomes.
