A 42-year-old lady says she is developing wrinkles around her eyes, and wants to know which radiofrequency device - Pellevé or Thermi - would be best for the delicate skin around the eyes.
New York oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon Amiya Prasad, M.D. reviews her concerns in this video, explaining how Pelleve and Thermi are pretty much the same, but radiofrequency devices may not be the best or only solution to improve fine lines and wrinkles:
1:30 - Dr. Prasad details his background training in cosmetic oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as his experience as a skin rejuvenation specialist
3:12 - How radiofrequency devices work on the face
4:10 - How radiofrequency devices are often marketed without factoring in the skill of the practitioner using the device
5:16 - How Dr. Prasad counsels his patients when it comes to radiofrequency treatment, and what causes fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
6:13 - How using Botox® or Dysport® in conjunction with radio frequency treatment can further resolve issues of lines and wrinkles
7:30 - How the body has certain limits and can generate only a certain amount of collagen with the treatment
9:06 - How there is no one solution for skin rejuvenation issues, and how more often than not, a combination treatment is better suited

Hi I had a fat transfer to my face about six months ago. I'm happy with the results, however my under eye is still hallow. My surgeon advised thermismooth under the eye for 2 x. I'm afraid that won't work. I have tried everything including fillers and I still have hallow somewhat bags

@AmiyaPrasadMD 6 жыл бұрын

Hi coonass coonass, Sorry to hear about your problem. Eye bags can cause a relative hollow next to them. If this is the case, removing the bags through lower eyelid surgery can solve the issue long-term. Thermismooth or fat transfer will not solve the problem of eye bags or hollowness. I would be wary of doctors who do not perform eyelid surgery to make suggestions about eye bags or hollowness. Fat should not be transferred into thin eyelid skin because complications are extensive and expensive to try and reverse. I suggest you see an eyelid specialist who can perform surgery and other non-surgical treatments in the eyelid area. I hope this clarifies things for you.

I’ve been binging your videos for a week now and they’re incredible. Thank you so much for all of this information! I was wondering since you said RF stimulates collagen production from your own skin & there’s a limit to how much collagen each person has. Would that mean that using RF in your early twenties would make it so that there is less collagen to work with in your 30s?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Tahseen Reza, You're welcome, and thank you for watching! While the body synthesizes collagen throughout your life, it's the capacity to synthesize collagen as one gets older that declines, which decreases by about 1% a year after age 25. As your body's collagen synthesis is still at its peak in the early 20s, collagen induction treatments are generally not advised at this age. If you are still in your early 20s, I would only advise you keep your skin protected with sunscreen and moisturizer, as well as limit excessive sun exposure to prevent premature aging, but usually not collagen induction treatments. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi ANKIT KHENI, Microdermabrasion can help with removing the top layer of skin so a new layer of skin can grow in. If you are having it done professionally, then they would likely use microneedling and not a dermaroller, which doesn't roll so it doesn't unnecessarily stretch the micro holes, and aggressiveness can be controlled by a professional.

RF generates collagen by virtue of tissue destruction And micro needling by virtue of perforation allowing vitamin products, prp to generate not just collagen but also elastin And no tissue destruction Therefore wouldn’t microneedling be preferable to RF & other laser treatments ?

Great video. But I am a little bit confused. I don’t feel like you discussed what radio frequency can do to help under the eyes. I understand that it takes multiple approaches. But I would love to know what radio frequency can do to benefit under the eyes. I have heard it can’t even be used near the eyes. But I see radio frequency, model, micro, needling All over KZfaq. Some physicians use the scarlet model. I like to research all I can before I go to positions. Because many of the ones in my area want to market things to me that I personally don’t think would work for me based on my research. Can you please clarify if it is truly safe to use radio frequency, micro, needling, or regular frequency around the eyes. Thank you so much! I meant physicians. Not positions lol. Many physicians here we’ll just try to push you to do the Newest whatever machine they have. Or they will just recommend something that you can’t afford. That’s why I try to do my own research before going so that I am prepared when they recommend something.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 5 ай бұрын

Hi @littlebeebs1, The treatments you mention like microneedling, which also include lasers, and radiofrequency are collagen induction therapies, which trigger the body to generate collagen to strengthen the skin. These work by creating a controlled injury to the skin, so the body generates collagen to heal the injury, and strengthen the skin. Radiofrequency, and laser treatments use heat to create an injury, but radiofrequency can be used in darker skin types that are prone to hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and scarring from lasers, and microneedling. You can refer to these videos about different collagen induction therapies, and collagen induction therapies that can be used on darker skin more safely: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i-B-qdeflbrcfZc.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btGEqciQ2aumkX0.html

Hello doctor, today my wife went for hair removal, but on the forearm, underside the skin has come up in welts and is red. Cold compress for past four hours has not subsidef the redness. The attendant was using a new diode machine with pre-programmed settings for skin colour. The plug kept slipping through the treatment and probably on that point the setting changed to darker skin. Will there be any serious damage to underlying tissues. Could it lead to cancer. What are the implications. Kindly reply urgently. Can I buy any medications for her.

Hi Sanjay Nagarkatti, Sorry to hear about what happened to your wife. Although settings can be adjusted for skin color, they don't prevent overexposure by the practitioner. This is why I keep insisting that devices are just tools, and it's the practitioner's experience that matters most. It is highly unlikely to cause cancer, but you will have to consult your physician about managing the symptoms as I would need to perform a physical exam on the skin, and know the details about the procedure before giving exact recommendations for skin rehabilitation. I hope this helps you.

Hi stella dalton-kirby, I would have to examine your face before saying this is the right treatment for you, and the ideal temperature if it's the right treatment for you. These treatments do have to be spaced out for more than a week. If you have light skin, then there are more treatment options available for your skin type, such as lasers. Radiofrequency is often used for darker skin types as lasers can cause pigmentation issues in darker skin. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Using thermal devices should be done so there is enough heat to create a controlled injury, so the skin contracts and tightens, and the body recognizes the injury so collagen is stimulated in the area to heal it, and improve skin texture and strength. You can refer to this video about it - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5x-msZyz8vHd6M.html

Doctor Prasad, you didn’t answer the question that was asked … could RF be used on the upper eye lid.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Uma Rajiv Rao, It's covered in the video that radiofrequency can be used on the upper eyelids, but it's not the only option treatment, and a combination of treatments are also a possibility. As treating any issue with unique factors in individual people, a physical examination is needed to determine the best treatment approach, and not just recommending one device for all people. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Would radio frequency help with Malar bags?

@AmiyaPrasadMD Жыл бұрын

Hi eshaal alvi, Thermal treatments like radiofrequency, and lasers are generally not appropriate to treat malar bags. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@AmiyaPrasadMD Жыл бұрын

Hi@@eshaalalvi81, Malar bags are particularly challenging to treat as they are often caused by fluid trapped in numerous small chambers. Depending on the cause, surgery may remove them, or they may need to be camouflaged so they are not so prominently seen.

So RF and ultrasound tech isn’t good for darker skin?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 5 жыл бұрын

Hi G&T HD, The point of the video is radiofrequency treatment can be used on darker skin, especially if certain lasers can cause hyper or hypopigmentation. Lasers can also be adjusted for darker skin, but a physical exam is needed to determine the best mode of treatment for you. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Can surgery correct fine lines when I smile?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Lore Strahan, Fine lines that appear when you smile, called dynamic lines, can often be improved without surgery using treatments such as Botox, perhaps laser or radiofrequency treatments, and filler is a possibility as well. An examination is needed to determine what is appropriate for you. I hope this clarifies things for you.

is there any treatment for 11 lines except botox, fillers??

@AmiyaPrasadMD 5 жыл бұрын

Hi jawar Lal, Those are the two primary treatments for number 11 lines, in addition to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to improve skin quality in that area. PRP is usually applied in conjunction with a cosmetic filler for number 11s. I hope this clarifies things for you.
