Abstract
Background
With the advent of new technologies, the demand for non-invasive and effective procedures to treat skin laxity has increased. In this research, we aimed to review studies conducted on the safety and effectiveness of endodermal radiofrequency (ER) for skin rejuvenation.
Methods
We searched the databases of Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from 2000 to 2020 to conduct a systematic review based on the PRISMA statement. Screening of titles, abstracts, and full-text articles was performed independently by two reviewers according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results
This study showed that ER resulted in improvement in wrinkles and sagging, reduction of fat, tightening of skin of the face, neck, and jawline, improvement in skin elasticity, pigmentation, contouring of the body, and epidermal thickness decrease. ER technology leads to a significant and satisfactory improvement in skin rejuvenation, lower contouring of skin of the face and neck, as well as patients' satisfaction. Side effects of ER are temporary, and usually disappear spontaneously after a few days to one month.
Conclusion
Cosmetic services providers can use this effective and safe technology to treat skin laxity and skin rejuvenation as a substitute for surgery.
