Core Tip

Core Tip: Radiofrequency technology has a remarkable clinical effect on the improvement of facial skin wrinkles and relaxation. To assess clinical efficacy of radiofrequency for facial wrinkles/laxity, 60 female patients received three focused radiofrequency treatments for facial aging at a medical cosmetology department. Post-treatment, the mean facial wrinkle severity score decreased significantly. 88.24% of patients reported noticeable improvements. No serious adverse events occurred.
