Avaliação dos efeitos da radiofrequência e eletrolifting em rítides frontais de mulheres adultas com fotoenvelhecimento.

Abstract

During the aging process, self-esteem may decrease due to signals that occur in the process, among them are the rhytids, deep grooves in the skin, promoting the search for aesthetic treatments. The aging can be intrinsic, chronological aging, or extrinsic, determined by external aggressions. Premature aging is an effect caused by chronic sun exposure, called photoaging. The electro is a device that applies galvanic current to the extent of rhytids, inducing filling these lines. Besides this technique for radiofrequency, which uses average intensity of electric current, whose power is intended to raise the tissue temperature to levels that can stimulate positive physiological responses to improve the rhytids. This research aimed to evaluate the effects of radio frequency and electro in front rhytids in women with photoaging. We selected four participants, two underwent treatment with electro, and two underwent treatment with radiofrequency. All participants underwent five sessions, 21 days apart, were evaluated by photography and satisfaction questionnaire. All participants showed satisfactory results, and significant improvement in the appearance of the front rhytids. The electro group showed better results compared with the radiofrequency group when analyzed by photography.
