Facial aging is a multilayered process involving the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and facial musculature.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an integrated radiofrequency (RF), microneedle radiofrequency (MNRF), and dynamic muscle stimulation (DMSt) approach for facial rejuvenation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Participants with moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles received 3 treatment sessions at 1-month intervals using a combined radiofrequency (RF), microneedle radiofrequency (MNRF), and dynamic muscle stimulation (DMSt) device, with clinical outcomes and safety evaluated during follow-up.
RESULTS
Significant improvement in facial wrinkles and overall appearance was observed at 1, 3, and 6 months after 3 treatments. All treated participants demonstrated improvement on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), whereas no improvement was observed in untreated controls (
CONCLUSION
The combined RF, MNRF, and DMSt approach achieves significant, albeit partial, improvement with a favorable safety profile by targeting both skin and underlying musculature.
