Article Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a new monopolar radiofrequency device equipped with a 5 cm tip, against fine wrinkles around the eyes and cheeks.

Materials And Methods: This multicentered, prospective pilot study involved treating participants with mild-to-moderate wrinkles on both periorbital areas and cheeks using the monopolar radiofrequency device for one session. One and four months after treatment, wrinkle reduction, overall esthetic improvement, adverse events, and vital signs were evaluated.

Results: The study involved 13 participants (age: 35-62 years) and on a five-point scale, periorbital wrinkles showed a significant reduction at 4 weeks (0.96 ± 0.65) and 16 weeks (1.04 ± 0.59). On a five-point scale, cheek wrinkles also decreased at weeks 4 and 16 (1.00 ± 0.55 and 1.12 ± 0.64, respectively). On a five-point scale (range: -1-3), overall global esthetic improvement was rated by the participants at weeks 4 and 16 to be 2.23 ± 0.80 and 2.31 ± 0.61, respectively. Adverse events were not observed during the follow-up.

Conclusion: A single session using the new monopolar radiofrequency device equipped with a 5 cm tip safely and effectively improves mild-to-moderate periorbital and facial wrinkles.

: The decline of serum estrogen in postmenopausal women leads to several changes in the vulvovaginal and vesicourethral areas, resulting in the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), characterized by bothersome symptoms such as vaginal atrophy, lack of lubrication, dyspareunia, urgency, dysuria, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Nevertheless, this condition could also be experienced by younger women affected by hormone-dependent tumors. Although topical estrogens are considered "the gold standard", hormonal treatments cannot be indicated in cancer survivors.

Background: Fibroblasts are the primary producers of dermal extracellular matrix (ECM) components including collagen, elastic fibers, and hyaluronic acid. Fibroblast activity diminishes with age, contributing to deterioration of the dermal ECM and worsening of skin laxity. Heat-induced fibroblast stimulation is a validated strategy for restoration of the dermal ECM and improvement of skin laxity.

Morton's neuroma is a painful foot condition that can be treated with continuous radiofrequency. However, its efficacy is not always optimal, with failure rates of 15-20%. It has been suggested that these failures may be due to incomplete nerve ablation, allowing for nerve regeneration and persistent pain.

Background: Dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is used to visualize ablation lesions after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by cryo- and radiofrequency ablation. The performance of dark-blood LGE CMR in visualizing chronic ablation lesions after PVI by monopolar biphasic focal pulsed field ablation (F-PFA) remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the visibility and optimal image intensity ratio (IIR) threshold for F-PFA lesion visualization in dark-blood LGE CMR scans 3 months after PVI.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical benefits of adding Capacitive Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency (CRMRF) to a therapeutic physical exercise (PE) program on anatomo-physiological, anthropometric, and functional parameters in women with diastasis recti abdominis (DRA).

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 21 postpartum women. Participants were assigned to: (i) CRMRF+PE group (RFPEG) or (ii) placebo CRMRF+PE group (SHAMG).
