Abstract

The high-frequency generator is considered a collagen stimulator and skin revitalizer, however there are few studies exploring its effects in the field of rejuvenation and aesthetics. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of high frequency generator therapy on facial aging. A total of 26 participants aged between 50 and 60 years were selected and received high frequency generator treatment for eight weeks. The evaluation was conducted using a combination of photographic records and assessment tools, including Rosenberg scale, perception and satisfaction with treatment evaluation, overall aesthetic improvement scale, and modified Fitzpatrick scale. The analysis conducted by the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale yielded significant results. The Modified Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale showed that high frequency therapy led to statistically significant improvements in the appearance of nasolabial wrinkles (right T0: 1.48, T8: 0.87; left T0: 1.51, T8: 1.05) and periorbital wrinkles (right T0: 1.69, T8: 1.05; left T0: 1.71, T8: 1.08). In conclusion, high frequency generator therapy can be a highly effective tool for treating skin aging on the face, however, we recommend that future research includes control groups, and adopts objective measures to expand knowledge about the effects of high frequency.
