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.
Methods: We enrolled 70 middle-aged female patients with periorbital wrinkles for this study. Each patient underwent triple sessions of MRF treatment in the periorbital region, separated by 2-week intervals. Clinical photographs were obtained, and the areas of wrinkles were measured using a Robo Skin Analyzer CS50 (Inforward Inc., Japan) at baseline and 4 weeks after the final treatment session.
Results: Significant reduction in the mean area of periorbital wrinkles was detected at 1-month follow-up (80.64±28.96 mm) compared to baseline (95.08±31.93 mm). The improvement ratio of the wrinkle area was 15.19%. Pain during procedure seemed to be tolerable without any local anesthesia for all patients. Transient mild erythema was the only side effect reported during the study.
Conclusion: In conclusion, MRF could still be an attractive modality for Korean patients with periorbital wrinkles if the treatment is conducted repeatedly with sufficient energy and proper intervals.

Clinical efficacy of OS-01 peptide formulation in reducing the signs of periorbital skin aging.
Int J Cosmet Sci
January 2025
Genomic Sciences and Biotechnology Program, Catholic University of Brasilia, Brasília, Federal District, Brazil.
Background: The aging of the skin, particularly around the periorbital region, is a complex process characterized by the accumulation of senescent cells, decreased collagen production, and reduced skin elasticity, leading to visible signs such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.
Objective: This study investigates the efficacy of a novel topical formulation, OS-01 EYE, containing the senomorphic peptide, OS-01, along with other active ingredients, in improving the skin around the eyes.
Methods: A 12-week clinical study was conducted with 22 participants who applied OS-01 EYE twice daily.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a comprehensive surgical approach for rejuvenation of the aging lower periorbita.
Methods: Between February 2018 and January 2023, 80 eyes of 40 patients with lower lid dermatochalasis (LLD), lower lid laxity (LLL) or orbicularis laxity of the lower lid (OL) admitted to the oculoplastic surgery department of our clinic were included in the study. 18 eyes had LLD, 14 eyes had LLL, 18 eyes had LLD and LLL, and 30 eyes had LLD, LLL and OL.
Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation Exposure and Its Impact on Skin Aging Among Healthcare Workers.
Clin Exp Dermatol

Dinar State Hospital, Department of Dermatology, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey.
Background: Ionizing radiation (IR) is a occupational risk for healthcare professionals, which can result in a range of health issues.
Objectives: This study aims to assess the relationship between low-dose IR exposure and the development of early aging-related skin wrinkles in healthcare workers.
Methods: In the current cross-sectional study, 70 health workers exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation for at least five years were compared with 70 non-exposed health workers.
Introduction: Microneedling, a technique involving controlled dermal microwounding, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are both employed for skin rejuvenation. While both treatments individually show promise, limited research has explored their combined efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining PRP injections with microneedling for aesthetic concerns around the eyes under standardized conditions.
