Efeitos da radiofrequência no rejuvenescimento facial: revisão literária

Abstract

The search for aesthetic procedures is growing. The market has numerous equipment and procedures that promise results such as facial rejuvenation. Among these resources, radiofrequency (RF) is highlighted for being a painless, non-invasive treatment that promotes, through a thermal effect, the retraction of collagen fibers and cell renewal. Objective: To verify the effects of radiofrequency on facial rejuvenation. Method: Integrative review conducted on the Latin American and Caribbean literature on health sciences (LILACS) in the United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Studies published from 2017 to 2021 in English and Portuguese were selected. Results: The final sample consisted of 6 articles that demonstrated different samples, methods, equipment and applications of RF. Conclusion: RF presents satisfactory and significant results in facial rejuvenation, however, the scarcity of researches and divergences in the literature reinforce the need for further studies.
