Facial rejuvenation has become more popular. A wider breadth of the patient population
is seeking procedures to preserve their youthful facial attributes and to remedy age-related
deleterious changes. Along with this increasing interest in facial rejuvenation is
also the expressed desire for any interventions to be relatively low risk, with limited
recovery, and with achievable positive results. Many new technologies have become
available in an attempt to improve age-related facial changes. The radiofrequency
(RF)-based technologies are largely directed toward skin tightening and toward reducing
and remodeling subcutaneous fat. It can be contemplated that the combination of RF-based
technology with limited surgical procedures may extend the patient selection for less
invasive procedures while improving potential results. This is a report of the combination
of radiofrequency technologies—percutaneous and transcutaneous—with short scar face
techniques in facial rejuvenation.
