Objectives: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a fractional unipolar RF device for periorbital wrinkle treatment.
Introduction: Non-ablative fractional laser and radiofrequency are popular for treating periorbital fine wrinkles owing to their no downtime and low risk of side effects. Among the various techniques, a noninvasive fractional unipolar radiofrequency (RF) device has been used as a treatment option for various types of rhytids.
Materials / method: Ten patients treated for periorbital wrinkles using a fractional unipolar RF device were evaluated. Fractional unipolar RF was applied to the periorbital area every 2-3 weeks for a total of 5 sessions. No topical anesthetic was applied during the procedure. Efficacy was assessed using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale(GAIS) and Glogau classification. Pain scores and adverse events were checked.
Results: Eight female and two male patients with a mean age of 48.6 years, ranging from 40 to 60 years, were included in this study. Five patients showed GAIS scoring 1 (very much improved), and the other five patients showed GAIS scoring 2 (improved). Among the patients, 90% reported a pain score of 1, while 10% reported a pain score of 2. No adverse events, such as burns or hyperpigmentation, were observed.
Conclusion: We demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the fractional unipolar RF device in treating periorbital wrinkles. Our study suggests that it offers improvement in periorbital fine wrinkles in the Asian population.
