Nonablative procedures for facial rejuvenation have become increasingly popular. One such method to improve laxity and diminish rhytids is monopolar capacitively coupled radiofrequency (MRF). The authors discuss clinical studies using MRF. The authors also discuss their clinical experiences as well as recommendations for optimal results. MRF using the Thermage CPT system (Solta Medical, Hayward, California) offers minimal downtime with a favorable side-effect profile. Although there are many radiofrequency devices on the market for aesthetic use, MRF has the most clinical trials to date to support its use as an effective, evidence-based modality to improve rhytids and tighten the skin.

“…Additionally, the treatment was associated with significant discomfort. 36 In an attempt to improve results and minimize discomfort, new monopolar and bipolar RF devices have been developed. Both produce collagen contraction, but the advantage of bipolar systems is in the controlled distribution of RF inside the tissue.…”

“…Monopolar radiofrequency has also passed the backlash stage in which all of the ''warts'' are discovered [9]. We write this article describing how monopolar radiofrequency is used in our practice as it has settled in to a steady state and we better understand its benefits and limitations [2,4,[10][11][12][13].…”
