Radiofrequency vs. Synchronized Radiofrequency and Targeted Ultrasound Technology for Enhanced Skin Hydration
Author(s): Charles M Boyd* and Suneel Chilukuri
Objective: Skin aging is characterized by significant changes including the loss of collagen, elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid (HA), impacting skin moisture, elasticity, and overall health. Radiofrequency (RF) and Ultrasound (US) are wellrecognized modalities, typically utilized as independent procedures. Due to the novel device allowing simultaneous delivery of both energies in a single applicator, this study compares the effects of RF as a standalone treatment to simultaneous RF and Targeted Ultrasound (TUS) treatment
Methods: A prospective multi-center, two-arm study was conducted with forty-one (41) subjects (3 males, 38 females, 26-77 years, skin types I-VI), randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (N=21) treated with monopolar Radiofrequency+Targeted Ultrasound (RF+TUS), and Group B (N=20) treated with monopolar RF only. In each group,.. View More»
