Radiofrequency for skin rejuvenation
One of the most promising new technologies for aesthetic treatments is the combination of two methods previously used individually for skin rejuvenation, microneedling and radiofrequensy. This combination therapy, known as fractionated radiofrequency, is effective for improvement in acne and acne scars, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, both on and off the face. It can also be used for all skin types and is associated with minimal downtime and few complications. Radiofrequency technology was then developed for skin rejuvenation; it has been used for many years to improve skin laxity, rhytids, and acne scarring. This technology works differently …Read more »
Canada Approves Thermi RF For Treatment Of Dermal Laxity
Health Canada has issued a medical device license to Thermi to market its Thermi RF system for the treatment of dermal laxity, making it the first device approved for this indication in the country.

Could a lifetime of exercise be the key to slowing down the aging process?
Keeping active throughout life could help keep the body younger and healthier as we age, according to new research in the United Kingdom. Carried out by researchers at the University of Birmingham and King’s College London, the study set out to look at whether a lifetime of exercise had slowed down aging in a group of older adult participants. The researchers recruited 125 male and female healthy amateur cyclists, who were aged 55 to 79 and had been cycling for nearly all of their adult lives. The participants provided blood samples and muscle biopsy samples, which were then …Read more »
New PDL Device Safer And More Effective For Rosacea
The V-Beam Prima (Syneron-Candela), a new, long-pulse, higher‐energy, 595nm pulse dye laser with dynamic spray cooling and a 15mm diameter circular treatment beam, is effective for rosacea-related redness. And the larger beam size improves both outcomes and patient safety, according to a study Eric F. Bernstein, MD, et al, published on April 10, 2018, in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine. The researchers enrolled 20 subjects with erythemato‐telangiectatic rosacea. Nineteen completed the study, which included four monthly treatments and evaluation by blinded reviewers two months following the final treatment. The evaluators correctly identified baseline and follow‐up images …Read more »

Noninvasive Skin Tightening: The Heat Is On
It has been more than 15 years since Thermage, the first radiofrequency (RF)-based noninvasive skin-tightening device, entered the United States market. In the years since, demand for noninvasive skin tightening and lifting procedures has skyrocketed, bringing dozens of competitors to the market. New iterations include RF devices that deliver treatment with less pain, ultrasound-based treatments, and minimally invasive systems that deliver energy to the skin’s lower layers through microneedles or wands. Patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity and those who do not wish to undergo surgery have three main dermal tightening options: noninvasive ultrasound or radiofrequency (RF)-based devices; RF-based microneedle …Read more »
RF Systems to treat the neck
The Rejuvenation of ageing skin is a fundamental treatment of the cosmetic clinician. With respect to aesthetics of the lower face and neck, the top concerns for patients are sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowling. For years, the methodology of choice for treating skin laxity in the non-invasive setting has been transcutaneous thermogenesis, whereby energy is used to create heat damage to the dermal and subcutaneous skin layers. This thermal injury ultimately results in collagen denaturation and contraction, activation of wound healing pathways, collagen remodeling, increase in collagen fibril size, and ultimately neocollagenesis – whereby new …Read more »
