A Prospective Trial of the Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency System Application in the Treatment of Infraorbital Dark Circles

BACKGROUND: Infraorbital dark circles (IDC) are commonly consulted in aesthetic practice. There is not yet a multifactorial approach to facilitating their treatment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and efficacy of the microneedle fractional radiofrequency (MRF) system for the treatment of IDC....

description BACKGROUND: Infraorbital dark circles (IDC) are commonly consulted in aesthetic practice. There is not yet a multifactorial approach to facilitating their treatment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and efficacy of the microneedle fractional radiofrequency (MRF) system for the treatment of IDC. METHODS: A prospective, split-face, evaluator-blind clinical trial was conducted to study the change in the overall appearance, color, and wrinkles in 21 female patients with mixed type IDC before and after MFR treatment. RESULTS: Both patients and independent evaluators found significant improvement on the global aesthetic scales after the MFR treatment, especially on periorbital wrinkles (p=0.031). Trends in decreased melanin density in the IDC area were found, but no statistical differences were established. No side effects were observed. CONCLUSION: MFR is a safe and effective modality for improving mixed type IDC by correcting the structural factors.
