Assessment on effectiveness and safety of plasma radiofrequency ablation in facial and eye rejuvenation: a preliminary retrospective study

The eyes and facial skin play a crucial role in preserving a youthful appearance; they greatly impact the perception of freshness and vitality. Various non-invasive and invasive procedures now treat dermatochalasis and facial wrinkles, including a relatively new technique developed in the past 15 years. Plasma radiofrequency ablation, an advanced, minimally invasive technique, combines the use of plasma energy and radiofrequency to treat various skin conditions, including facial wrinkles and dermatochalasis. This treatment acts to stimulate collagen, tightening skin and improving texture, with minimal downtime and low risk of side effects. Fifteen patients with dermatochalasis and ten patients with facial wrinkles underwent plasma radiofrequency ablation treatments. It is a minimally invasive treatment for dermatochalasis and wrinkles that provides effective results with short recovery times, but it is not without risks - such as infection, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or scarring - especially in patients who do not follow post-care instructions precisely. This preliminary retrospective study aims to discuss and share the authors' experiences with plasma radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of dermatochalasis and facial wrinkles.
