High frequency radio wave method in the correction of involute skin changes

Abstract

The study presents data on the impact of the monopolar radiofrequency method on the morphofunctional state of the skin. Patients were observed with various morphotypes of involute skin changes. 49 patients aged 45 to 55 years were observed. All patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the prevailing morphotype of involute skin changes: fine-wrinkled, deformed, and mixed. In all groups, a single exposure was performed using the monopolar radio frequency method according to the approved Protocol of work in the face area. Objective research methods included ultrasound sonography of the epidermis and dermis, adapted dermatological indices of quality of life (DIQ) and SAN (well-being, activity, mood). The results were evaluated 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment. The obtained data showed that the high-frequency radio-wave method is more effective in deformational and mixed types of aging compared to small-scale wrinkling.
