Successful treatment of rare adverse event after radiofrequency microneedle on Fitzpatrick skin type IV : a case report.

Radiofrequency microneedle (RFM) is relatively safe to use for all skin types but there is still possibility of adverse events. Tram-track scarring or uniform papular eruptions is a rarely reported adverse event, but it is challenging to manage. We report a case of successful treatment of tram track scarring post RFM using a combination of light emitting diodes 640 nm and a salicylic acid peel and home treatment with a combination of azelaic acid and retinoic acid. There is still no standard therapy to treat this case. The results of clinical observations showed the lesions completely recovered in 6 months.
