Real-World Experience Using a Multi-Modality System using Intense Pulsed Light, Radiofrequency Microneedling, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or Thermal Radiofrequency, 808, HIFU for Skin Rejuvenation Treatment.

BACKGROUND

Medical aesthetic procedures for facial rejuvenation with laser and energy-based devices (EBDs) are rapidly increasing. The following cases highlight real-life experience using a multi-modality system with various handpieces that combine intense pulsed light (IPL), laser hair removal (808 diode), high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiofrequency microneedling (RFM), and thermal radiofrequency (RF) for antiaging and rejuvenation treatment. Laser and RFM treatments may improve skin conditions by inducing cutaneous changes that remodel the skin matrix.

METHODS

Six physicians who treat patients for skin rejuvenation reported on clinical cases from their practice using a multi-modality system with various handpieces.

RESULTS

During the meeting, the advisors discussed 15 cases and agreed to select seven patients with different ages and skin phototypes receiving various treatments for photodamage of the face, neck, and décolleté. The advisors discussed why they selected the case, previous treatment, type of treatment, results, and clinical pearls.

CONCLUSION

Sharing best practices in medical aesthetics using combination treatments on a single multi-modality energy-based device such as laser and MRF for facial, neck, and chest skin may support healthcare providers treating patients for skin rejuvenation to improve clinical outcomes.
