TREATMENT OF FACIAL SAGGING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY

Abstract

Facial flaccidity is a condition characterized by the loss of skin tone and elasticity, resulting from factors such as aging, sun exposure, weight loss, and genetic predisposition. With the advancement of aesthetic technology, radiofrequency emerges as an effective alternative for treating this condition, promoting skin firmness recovery. This article reviews the radiofrequency methods used for facial flaccidity treatment and assesses their effectiveness in stimulating collagen and elastin production. Methods include monopolar, bipolar, and multipolar techniques, which vary in penetration depth and intensity. The effectiveness of radiofrequency is evidenced in several clinical studies, demonstrating significant improvements in skin texture and elasticity after treatment sessions. The main findings include increased collagen production, improved skin hydration, and reduced flaccidity, resulting in visible facial rejuvenation. Additionally, side effects are generally minimal and temporary, reinforcing the procedure's safety. In conclusion, radiofrequency presents itself as a viable and effective option for treating facial flaccidity, offering satisfactory and long-lasting results, making it an attractive choice for patients seeking non-invasive aesthetic interventions.
