BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Monopolar radiofrequency has emerged as the standard for non-surgical tissue tightening. However, its role, usefulness, and value remains unclear to many clinicians. Techniques and treatment parameters used by various practitioners can also be highly variable. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: The role of monopolar radiofrequency in our cosmetic plastic surgery practice will be defined and discussed. Our treatment algorithm will also be outlined. RESULTS: Treatment guidelines and reasonable expectations will be offered based on over 5 years of clinical and research experience with monopolar radiofrequency technology. CONCLUSIONS: Monopolar radiofrequency technology plays a unique and well-defined role in our practice. Strict patient selection in conjunction with detailed, honest, informed consent are the keys to successful treatments and patient satisfaction. |
