Abstract
Introduction: There is a growing demand for non-invasive methods with no down time and minimal risk for facial skin rejuvenation and treatment of wrinkles. The Maximus system, based on TriLipo technology, combines radiofrequency and Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA). We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the MaximusTM system for the treatment of facial wrinkles. Methods: Twenty women received 8 weekly treatments for facial wrinkles using the Maximus system. Treatment efficacy was assessed by comparing pre- and post-treatment photographs, assessing skin characteristics using the 3D Visioscan system, assessing skin microtopography using the DUB ultrasonic scanning system, assessing microcirculation conditions of facial skin using Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) and subjective evaluation of skin improvement. Results: No adverse events were observed. Following the treatments, positive changes in skin flakiness (scaliness), roughness, smoothness and wrinkles were demonstrated using Visioscan. A thickening of the epidermal-dermal layer and increased structural homogeneity were observed by ultrasound, hyperechogenicity was increased and areas of hypoechogenicity reduced. Microcirculation was improved, corresponding with a positive trend for improved skin characteristics. Conclusions: The Maximus system powered by the TriLipo technology is a non-invasive, effective, safe, and virtually painless treatment for reduction of wrinkles and facial skin rejuvenation.
Highlights
There is a growing demand for non-invasive methods with no down time and minimal risk for facial skin rejuvenation and treatment of wrinkles
The Maximus system powered by the TriLipo technology demonstrated significant improvement in skin tonus, skin lift effect, reduction of sharpness of mimic and static wrinkles, and the improvement of facial skin color homogeneity, as measured by noninvasive quantitative methods including visioscanning, ultrasonic dermascanning and Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF)
Kaplan and Gat [5] reported an increase of 49% in dermal thickness, focal thickening of collagen fibers and focal shrinkage of fat cells in abdominal areas treated with TriPollar technology compared to untreated areas
Summary
There is a growing demand for non-invasive methods with no down time and minimal risk for facial skin rejuvenation and treatment of wrinkles. Methods: Twenty women received 8 weekly treatments for facial wrinkles using the Maximus system. Positive changes in skin flakiness (scaliness), roughness, smoothness and wrinkles were demonstrated using Visioscan. Conclusions: The Maximus system powered by the TriLipo technology is a non-invasive, effective, safe, and virtually painless treatment for reduction of wrinkles and facial skin rejuvenation. The number of methods and technologies for treating wrinkles, tissue tightening, and facial skin rejuvenation have increased dramatically over recent years, as people have the demand for them. Non-ablative technologies, including laser treatments, ultrasound (US), electrical stimulation, and radiofrequency (RF) energy, have replaced ablative methods such as carbon dioxide and erbium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet lasers. It is of clinical benefit to all skin types, at lower and safer energy levels, without pain, and without injury to epidermal tissue
