Usefulness of Monopolar Thermal Radiofrequency Treatment for Periorbital Wrinkles.

Background: Over the past 10 years, monopolar radiofrequency (MRF) technology has been widely used by dermatologists as a valuable modality to effectively tighten and rejuvenate photoaged skin. It also has the benefit of a short recovery time.

Objective: Using an objective parameter, this study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of MRF, which is the basic modality of radiofrequency technologies, for treatment of periorbital wrinkles in Korean patients.

Treatment of periorbital wrinkles using multipolar fractional radiofrequency in Korean patients.

A limited number of studies have evaluated the efficacy and safety of electrode pin fractional radiofrequency (FRF) for periorbital wrinkle treatment in Asian patients, but none have measured noninvasive methodological objective parameters such as periorbital wrinkle area. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of electrode pin multipolar FRF for the improvement of periorbital wrinkles in Korean patients by using a noninvasive methodological objective parameter. Seventy female subjects with periorbital wrinkles (age range, 40-60 years) participated in this study.
