Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of the multisource radiofrequency in periorbital wrinkles treatment using a VISIA imager.
Methods:
This is a prospective cohort study involving 30 sites in 15 patients.
Inclusion Criteria:
healthy subjects with periorbital wrinkles. Patients underwent five treatment sessions for each site using multisource radiofrequency. VISIA imager was used before and after each treatment, and in 12-week follow-up. The wrinkle scores were calculated and compared between baseline and 12-week follow-up. Changing in periorbital wrinkles were evaluated by blinded dermatologist using a scale of 0-3. After the study, patients rated their satisfaction using a scale of 0-3. The study protocol was approved by our institutional human research review committee, according to the ethics guideline of Helsinki (1975).
Results:
The effect of treatment on subjects on follow-up compared to baseline showed a highly significant difference with P-values <0.05. Only two patients had no improvement according to blind dermatologist assessment of photographs. Thirteen patients reported satisfaction scale between 1 and 3.
Conclusions:
The multisource radiofrequency is safe and effective in reducing periorbital rhytids, and with the help of VISIA imager we can get more objective data to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency treatment on the periorbital areas. Lasers Surg. Med. 51:251-255, 2019. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
