In the rapidly evolving landscape of aesthetic and medical dermatology, non-insulated microneedle radiofrequency (RF) devices have emerged as a groundbreaking tool, revolutionizing clinical practice. This presentation, titled "How Non-insulated Microneedle Radiofrequency Device Revolutionized Clinical Practice: Exploring Diverse Applications and Transformative Outcomes," will provide an in-depth examination of this innovative technology and its wide-ranging applications.<br/><br/>Attendees will learn about the mechanics of non-insulated microneedle RF, which combines the benefits of microneedling with controlled RF energy to enhance skin rejuvenation, tighten tissue, and address a variety of skin concerns, including melasma, acne scars, pores and wrinkles. We will explore the device's versatility, discussing its efficacy in treating different skin types and conditions.<br/><br/>Through case studies and clinical outcomes, this presentation will highlight the transformative results achievable with this technique, emphasizing patient satisfaction and minimal downtime. Join us to discover how non-insulated microneedle RF is setting new standards in aesthetic treatment, empowering clinicians to deliver exceptional care and enhance patient outcomes.

Microneedle RF has emerged as an innovative approach to melasma and was introduced at our facility in 2019, with a cumulative experience of 131,523 cases by August 2024. Focusing on the multi-short pulses (PW: Pulsed Wave) that selectively produce thermal coagulation in the basement membrane and blood vessels, we have reported on the effectiveness and safety of melasma and skin rejuvenation treatment with this device at the conference. This time, we will show that by using the single long pulse (CW: Continuous Wave) that produces thermal coagulation in all layers of the skin and PW, which are equipped in this device, it is possible to approach not only melasma and skin rejuvenation but a wide range of conditions such as redness, wrinkle lines, pores, acne, and acne scars. We will show that it can be used for a wide range of conditions. Twenty patients (18 female and 2 male) with an average age of 38.4 (27-53) years were treated with pulsed oscillating needle RF every 2-4 weeks for 5 sessions. The NRS was measured as an assessment of pain and the VAS as a measure of treatment satisfaction. Photographs were recorded at each treatment session using a skin analysis device (VISIA®Evolution, Canfield Scientific, USA) for objective evaluation of efficacy and adverse events, and the final determination of treatment efficacy was made 3 months after the last irradiation date. We will report the results with a literature review.<br/>As a chain of clinics, it is important for us to standardize equipment settings and irradiation techniques. While it is interesting that a single device can be used to achieve a variety of therapeutic effects, we are trying to standardize protocols for a wide range of indications. We would like to present the current status of protocols in 2024, which are continuously being updated to make patients and surgeons more comfortable.

This study explores the in vivo observation of Thermo-Mechanical Ablation (TMA) and Radio Frequency Microneedling (RFMN) techniques, utilizing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as an imaging modality. TMA and RFMN are innovative dermatological treatments aimed at skin rejuvenation and scar reduction. The research employs OCT to visualize and assess the tissue response and morphological changes post-treatment in real-time, providing insights into the efficacy and safety of these procedures. This investigation paves the way for further understanding of the underlying mechanisms of TMA and RFMN, ultimately contributing to improved clinical practices in dermatology.

Objectives: The objectives of thus presentation is to demonstrate the new concepts in microneedling RF technology.<br/>Introduction: Microneedling with RF needles has become a very popular modality for treating wrinkles, photodamaged skin, and atrophic acne or traumatic scars. Many of the EBD companies have developed microneedling RF devices that use either insulated or non-insulated needles and use fractional or stamp delivery of the needles into the skin. <br/>Methods: The different devices that are available now will be reviewed with the evidence-based medicine to support their effectiveness and their safety. In addition, some new novel devices will also be discussed and how they fit into this group of devices.<br/>Results and Conclusions: This class of device for cosmetic practices has become very important and from this presentation, how they work, why they work, and how well they work will be reviewed.
