Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Skin laxity and wrinkling are common signs of the aging process. This physiological condition of the skin is often accompanied by psychological and social concerns, especially for females, entailing considerable expenses for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to cease or slow down its advancement. The objective of this study was to evaluate the short-term impact of a new non-ablative radiofrequency device available in the skin face cosmetic field.
METHODS: A randomized study was run on 62 healthy subjects with normal-age related-grade skin laxity, subdivided into two groups. Group 1 received one treatment with Modula RF device (Wavemed, San Cesareo RM, Italy) over the whole face surface. Group 2 received three monthly treatments.
RESULTS: Clinical improvements of the exposed areas were detected by measuring skin parameters, such as total water content, elasticity, and sebum levels at baseline and 1 h after the treatment. Data showed significant effects of Med-RF treatment on skin hydration (p < 0.001), skin elasticity (p < 0.0001), and sebum (p = 0.0009). Moreover, a negative linear correlation was obtained between women\'s age and hydration.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that radiofrequency significantly improves the subjective and objective judgment of patients and doctors, supported by the positive results obtained on the skin quality parameters evaluated. These results confirm that Med-RF technology represents an important tool to achieve face rejuvenation in the field of non-invasive procedures.

摘要：
目的：皮肤松弛和皱纹是衰老过程的常见征兆。皮肤的这种生理状况通常伴随着心理和社会问题，尤其是女性,需要花费大量的化妆品和药品来停止或减缓其进步。这项研究的目的是评估皮肤面部美容领域中可用的新型非消融性射频装置的短期影响。
方法：对62名正常年龄相关等级皮肤松弛的健康受试者进行了一项随机研究，分为两组。第1组接受了一次Modula射频装置治疗(Wavemed，圣切萨雷奥RM，意大利）在整个脸部表面。第2组接受3个月的治疗。
结果：通过测量皮肤参数检测到暴露区域的临床改善，如总含水量，弹性,和皮脂水平在基线和治疗后1小时。数据显示，Med-RF治疗对皮肤水合作用有显著影响(p<0.001)，皮肤弹性（p<0.0001），和皮脂（p=0.0009）。此外，女性的年龄与水合作用呈负线性相关。
结论：结论：这项研究的结果表明，射频显着改善了患者和医生的主观和客观判断，由评估的皮肤质量参数获得的积极结果支持。这些结果证实了Med-RF技术代表了在非侵入性程序领域实现面部年轻化的重要工具。
