tier0_review A noninvasive approach to off-face skin laxity and tightening: a review of the literature.
Abstract summary (English) Off-face skin scales tailored to each anatomical site can measure laxity and tightening of the neck, chest, arms, hands, abdomen, buttocks, and medial thighs. Although surgery may be indicated for major weight loss patients, other noninvasive modalities may be considered including: CO2 laser, bipolar radiofrequency, monopolar radiofrequency, microfocused ultrasound, and combination therapies. We provide a review of...

View on PubMedtier_other Is Bipolar Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction Equivalent to Open Anterior Platysmaplasty in Facelift Surgery?
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: During facelift surgery, anterior platysmaplasty (AP) has been used for decades, but it limits lateral advancement and can induce contour irregularities. Radiofrequency (RF)-assisted-liposuction in the anterior neck can avoid these disadvantages by tightening skin without open surgery. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to compare the esthetic outcomes of facelift surgery with those of AP and RF.

View on PubMedtier_other Technique for Minimally Invasive Face and Neck Contouring with Bipolar Radiofrequency Devices.
Abstract summary (English) Radiofrequency devices have grown in popularity as minimally invasive options for the treatment of skin laxity in the face and neck. These treatments are often combined with liposuction procedures to provide enhanced tissue contraction alongside the reduction in adiposity. Proper patient selection and intraoperative technique are crucial to achieving the desired outcomes in a safe manner.

View on PubMedtier_other The MICRO-Lift: A Ligaments-Based Anatomic Technique for Lower Face and Neck Rejuvenation Using Bipolar Radiofrequency.
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.

View on PubMedtier_other A Prospective Trial: Handsfree Thermoregulated Bipolar Radiofrequency for Face and Neck Contouring.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: The use of radiofrequency in aesthetic surgery has evolved significantly since it was first introduced in the early 2000s. Nonexcisional correction of the lower one-third of the face and neck has long been a challenging problem. The purpose of this prospective study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the first handsfree thermoregulated bipolar radiofrequency device for face and neck contouring.

View on PubMedtier_other Combined infrared light and bipolar radiofrequency for skin tightening in Asians.
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.
