Abstract

BACKGROUND Patients frequently complain about fine lines, wrinkles, dyschromia, and photoaging, for which lasers and energy-based devices can treat each of these. Pairing various devices in a single treatment session can be safe and effective, but different technologies, mechanisms, histologies, parameters, and techniques must be considered. OBJECTIVE To examine the utility of a paired treatment regimen using radiofrequency microneedling and 755-nm picosecond laser with fractionated lens array to improve the clinical appearance of facial wrinkles and photoaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective clinical study investigated this paired treatment regimen using 4 monthly sessions. RESULTS Twenty-five subjects were enrolled, while 18 subjects completed 3-month follow-up. The mean age was 54 years, and 92% were women. Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV were represented. Assessments compared baseline with the 3-month follow-up. Two of 3 blinded reviewers agreed in identifying pretreatment and post-treatment photographs for 94.4% of cases. For physician Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, 100% of subjects had clinical improvement. Overall, 88.9% of subjects were considered to be satisfied with their treatment. No serious or unanticipated adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION Paired treatment using radiofrequency microneedling and 755-nm picosecond laser with fractionated lens array can safely and effectively improve facial wrinkles and photoaging.
