Summary
Radiofrequency is a useful tool in esthetic dermatology. We used a new 2.2 MHz monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device to improve signs of facial aging. In an outpatient setting patients were treated with 3–6 applications of RF every second week. The satisfaction with esthetic improvement was high. Not only skin laxity but general appearance and perioral and nasolabial folds were improved. Adverse effects have not been observed. Patients described the whole treatment as relaxing and painless.
Zusammenfassung
Die Radiofrequenztechnik ist eine sinnvolle Methode im Rahmen der ästhetischen Dermatologie. Wir setzten ein neues, monopolares 2.2 MHz-Radiofrequenzgerät (RF) zur Verbesserung von Symptomen des fazialen Alterns ein. Die Patienten wurden ambulant aller 2 Wochen in 3–6 Sitzungen behandelt. Die Zufriedenheit mit dem ästhetischen Ergebnis war hoch. Nicht allein die Elastose sondern auch periorale und nasolabiale Falten besserten sich. Unerwünschte Nebenwirkungen traten nicht auf. Die Patienten beschrieben die gesamte Behandlung als entspannend und schmerzlos.
