tier3 Phosphatidylcholine and bipolar radiofrequency for treatment of localized fat deposits.
Abstract summary (English) Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) is capable of delivering higher energy fluencies direct to the dermis through a needle electrode. This produces heat when the tissue electrical resistance converts the electric current to thermal energy in the tissue. A 38-year-old man visited our clinic for reduction of submental fat deposit, but otherwise in overall good health.

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper is to present the results of a new technique for lower face and neck rejuvenation named the MICRO-lift (Minimally Invasive, Combined Radiofrequency, Outpatient lift). This technique is based on a bipolar radiofrequency treatment applied to specific ligamentous areas. METHODS: Inclusion criteria were patients with skin laxity of the neck and jowls, with or without fat accumulation.

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cosmetic rejuvenation of the perioral area can be challenging due to a mix of skin laxity and volumetric loss. Current techniques including fillers, neurotoxins, and non-ablative and ablative resurfacing have several drawbacks and can create a stiff, box-shaped, unnatural appearance. Aside from filler, these techniques do not address deeper volume deficiency.

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: As the demand for non-invasive procedures for skin tightening is increasing, combined optical and radiofrequency (RF) devices have recently emerged. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a device that combined broadband infrared (IR) light (700-2000 nm) and bipolar RF (electro-optical synergy [ELOS]) for non-ablative treatment of facial laxity.
