Objectives: Regenerative medicine and minimally invasive solutions are more request from elderly to young patients, in male and female people. Furthermore people don't like stay a long downtime but they ask shorther healing time. Less pain and less admission in medical clinic.
Introduction: EndoRF technology has emerged as an effective method to safely tighten skin and reduce underlying adipose tissue.
Materials / method: 20 patients have been treated, between 35 and 65 years old (mean: 50 ys).
After local anesthesia with adrenaline and physiological solution.
Subcutaneous probe with RF was used. The main feature of this tool is to regulate temperature from 49 °c to 57°C. For each patient is used different temperature for each region also. Various time of application for face and neck.
Time application mean 30 min ( between 20’ to 45’) , advanced technique with multiple tunneling in every areas.
From 1 to 3 access point.
1 time in year
Results: Patient satisfaction is immediate. We can see peak of effect at 3 months but patient keep seeing improvement until up to 6 months.
Thanks to the ENDO RF, different effects have been obtained:
• The harnessing of RF energy to deliver heat to dermal structures results in nonsurgical lifting
• tightening of tissue without disruption of epidermal integrity
• collagen regeneration
• good result in cases of moderately sagging skin.
• neocollagenesis without integumental injury
• dermal collagen contraction
• elasticity increase
• skin smoothness improvement
Conclusion: Temporary discomfort:
• edema (first week)
• bruise (first 2 w) 2 Pts
• pain in treated areas not all patients
We use GAIS and SGAIS to evaluate MD and patient satisfaction. As our armamentarium expands we have the opportunity to treat a variety of skin conditions, particularly, skin wrinkling and laxity to double chin or localized fat. In particular subcutaneus application with RF endo probe helps medical practice to achieve a goal.
