Review of radiofrequency microneedling: history, devices and uses

Diana Kneiber et al. J Cosmet Laser Ther. .

Abstract

Radiofrequency microneedling (RFM) has recently become a popular choice for the treatment of various dermatologic conditions and rejuvenation. Many studies have sought to evaluate the efficacy of RFM. However, its role in the management of these conditions remains unclear. A comprehensive literature search including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case series evaluating the efficacy of RFM in various skin conditions was performed. In this review, we discuss the history and mechanism of RFM, describe various device features, and discuss the use of RFM in various skin conditions and rejuvenation.

Keywords: Radiofrequency; microneedling; rejuvenation; scar; striae.
