Short-term efficacy and safety of 5MHz fractional microneedle radiofrequency for facial rejuvenation: a prospective study.

In 30 seconds

This prospective clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of 5MHz fractional microneedle radiofrequency (FMR) for facial rejuvenation in 20 participants. The study found significant improvement in skin elasticity and wrinkle scores, with 85% of participants reporting satisfaction. No serious adverse events were noted.

Key findings

• Skin elasticity improved significantly at V2 and remained elevated at V5-V6.
• Wrinkle scores showed sustained improvement during follow-up.
• 85% of participants reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the treatment.
• No serious adverse events, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, were observed.

Why it matters

The findings suggest that 5MHz FMR may be a safe and effective option for clinicians seeking to address facial aging, particularly in improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
