Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety in the treatment for gravitation wrinkles and unsatisfied shape with raonopolar and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technique. Methods 28 patients were enrolled in this study. Every patient was treated for four times with an interval of 14 days by Accent Pro radiofrequency electric device (Alma Lasers Ltd). The clinical photographs were taken before and after the treatment, and the parameters were recorded during the treatment. The clinical efficacy and safety was evaluated 1 month after the treatment by comparing photographs and patients' satisfaction. Results Satisfactory rates were as follows: 85 % in doctor side, and 90 % in patients' side. No blister, scald, pigmentation and scar were observed during the treatment. Conclusion High frequency electric technique can be effective for the treatment of gravitation wrinkles and skin tightening by heating tissue deeply and non-invasively. Our clinical study shows that RF is an effective, non-invasive treatment with less pain and low side effects.
