“…Kassuga et al [10] described the use of fractional RF and acoustic pressure ultrasound to accelerate the response of actinic keratosis to treatment with topical methyl aminolevulinate. Suh et al [11] and Issa et al [12] evaluated the efficacy of fractional RF and ultrasound in the treatment of striae distensae, using platelet-rich plasma or retinoic acid. In both cases, striae were diminished by more than 60 %.…”

Ablative fractional technology has been used to improve transdermal drug delivery. However, there have been few previous in vivo investigations of the relative potency and methodology of fractional radiofrequency (RF) combined with sonophoresis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of fractional RF combined with sonophoresis on 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) penetration of the skin. Three male domestic swine were used. The skin of the pigs was exposed to fractional RF and/or sonophoresis, followed by topical ALA application. Fluorescence intensity (FI) of porphyrin fluorescence was measured. In both the epidermis and the dermis, FI increased after fractional RF and increased additionally with the addition of sonophoresis. Fractional RF with sonophoresis effectively enhanced ALA skin penetration. Pre-fractional RF followed by posttreatment with sonophoresis can be used for ALA-photodynamic therapy to achieve higher ALA uptake.

“…I am wary of studies that combine more than one method of therapy [6] as there is little way of assessing which therapy ultimately contributes to results. It must also be emphasized that striae have a tendency to resolve spontaneously and crediting lasers with all the improvement noted is probably an injustice to the normal healing response, a fact most authors rarely admit in their manuscripts.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7] Of these technologies, the fractional photothermolysis is the most dependable. [2] It creates multiple non-contiguous zones of thermal damage in the epidermis and dermis, sparing the tissue surrounding the wound which in turn stimulates epidermal turnover and dermal collagen remodeling, which results in improvement of a variety of scar types.…”

“…In a similar study, Suh et al [10] also used the Legato system to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enhanced penetration of platelet-rich plasma with ultrasound after plasma fractional RF for the treatment of striae distensae on the abdomen. The clinical trial included 18 patients who received 4 treatment sessions spaced 2 weeks apart.…”

Radiofrequency (RF) may be combined with other modalities, particularly light-based treatments, to maximize the benefits of each while reducing the risks of treatment. The light energy may be used, for example, to preheat a target by selective photothermolysis. Since RF travels preferentially in warmer tissues due to reduced impedance, the combination of RF and light may allow the use of lower fluence of each. Such an approach can maintain effectiveness and improve safety. This approach has been used successfully on a variety of indications on the face and body. This chapter reviews the clinical studies reported. © 2015 S. Karger AG, BaselRadiofrequency (RF)-based devices have become a mainstay in modern aesthetic medicine and are considered to be one of the leading technologies currently available for cosmetic treatments. Their proven safety and efficacy has been extensively documented in troves of clinical trials for the treatment of a plethora cosmetic indications that include skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, wrinkle improvement, acne vulgaris, acne scarring, cellulite, striae distensae, hair removal and vascular lesions. Varying combinations of RF energy with other therapeutic modalities such as laser and light energy sources as well as mechanical tissue manipulation with vacuum and massage have also been investigated and explored in depth, and have been shown to even further improve the clinical outcomes of these cosmetic indications.elōs (electro-optical synergy) (Syneron Medical Ltd., Yokneam, Israel) was the first technology that simultaneously harnessed the power of bipolar RF and optical energy, resulting in a synergistic effect of combined technologies. The technology overcomes some of the safety and procedural limitations of intense pulse light (IPL) and conventional lasers.
