Abstract
Correction of facial hyperpigmentation is a very common and complex problem faced by dermatologists, cosmetologists and plastic surgeons. Recently developed microplasma radiofrequency technology allows to accurately and rapidly affect the areas with hyperpigmentation and is an effective method of its treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hyperpigmentation treatment using microplasma radiofrequency technology. The study included 35 patients with benign hyperpigmentation with localization on the face. All patients had II - IV skin phototypes according to Fitzpatrick. We used a device with an output power of 60-90 W and performed 2-6 passes (rolling with a roller nozzle) in different directions. Three to five procedures were performed with 8-week intervals. As a result of treatment, all patients had improvement, which is manifested in clarification of hyperpigmentation spots of varying severity. Complications were not observed. Improvement of skin condition with reduction of hyperpigmentation phenomena was assessed by patients and physicians who compared digital images taken before the treatment and 2 months after the last procedure. The results of the study showed that the patients had a positive effect on the treatment of hyperpigmentation using microplasma radio frequency technology. The average index of pain intensity was estimated from 0 to 10 using a visual analog scale, which was 6.7 ± 0.7. After a course of therapy in 32 of 35 patients hyperpigmentation decreased by more than 51%, and 3 patients managed to achieve a clinical cure. The average improvement in the treatment of hyperpigmentation was 4.28. Thus, microplasma radiofrequency technology is a highly effective and safe method of treating facial hyperpigmentation.
