The Radiofrequency Frontier: A Review of Radiofrequency and Combined Radiofrequency Pulsed-Light Technology in Aesthetic Medicine

ABSTRACT

Radiofrequency (RF) and combined RF light source technologies have established themselves as safe and effective treatment modalities for several dermatologic procedures, including skin tightening, hair and leg vein removal, acne scarring, skin rejuvenation, and wrinkle reduction. This article reviews the technology, clinical applications, and recent advances of RF and combined RF light/laser source technologies in aesthetic medicine.

KEYWORDS

Radiofrequency - electro-thermolysis - electrical current - optical - laser - pulse
