영문 초록

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of radiofrequency device for treatment of facial rhytides. Methods: Twenty-three patients of more than 50 years of age with Glogau photoaging scale type Ⅲ, Ⅳ were included in this study. A Surgitron Dual Frequency device was used for facial rhytides, and a total of four treatment sessions spaced one week apart were performed. Clinical assessment was performed at one week, and at one, three, and six months after the last treatment session. The degree of objective & subjective improvement was determined using a five-step graded scale. Objective improvement was determined by two blinded assessors using before and after photographs. Subjective improvement was determined by questionnaire about rhytides improvement, patient satisfaction and prospect for another treatment session. Results: Significant improvement in facial rhitides was observed in the majority of patients until three months after treatment according to photography assessment. Self-estimation scores paralleled the photography scores and thus were also high until 3 months after treatment. Treatment of the periocular area was most effective. The procedure was associated with minimal downtime, and therewas no serious complication. Conclusions: treatment for facial rhitides using the Surgitron Dual Frequency device is effective in a relatively short time. This technology is a relatively easy treatment method because of the minimal downtime and minimal risk associated its use, making periodic repetition efficient for treating facial rhytides.
