Monitoring the effect of noninvasive cosmetic procedures on skin photoaging

Introduction: The human desire to slow down biological aging and conceal the external manifestations of premature aging has given rise to the pursuit of esthetic procedures. With advancing age, the structural integrity of the skin undergoes a decline, characterized by a decrease in elasticity and firmness and an increase in the number of wrinkles as a consequence of skin photoaging. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of non-invasive cosmetic procedures on skin photoaging, specifically radiofrequency lifting and facial kinesitherapy. Materials and methods: The study included 100 patients. The participants were divided into two groups: control and experimental. The study was prospective and lasted six months. The Glogau scale was used to assess wrinkles at the beginning and end. The experimental group received facial muscle kinesitherapy as well as radiofrequency lifting. The control group only received procedures that involved radiofrequency lifting. Results and discussion: We found a statistically significant difference regarding skin photoaging between the initial and final results in the experimental and control groups. The experimental group saw improvements in wrinkle reduction and facial contour smoothing as a result of radiofrequency lifting and kinesitherapy for the mimic muscles. Conclusion: Radiofrequency lifting combined with active gymnastics of the facial muscles improves the contour, appearance, and natural vision by influencing the effects of skin photoaging.
