Facial aging is a complex process that results from changes in several layers: skin, subcutaneous fat, superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), muscles and bone. Facial muscles tend to lose their tone at rest, which leads to a change in the position of tissues. This article presents clinical cases of successful use of a new device that combines the technologies of high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) and monopolar radio-wave lifting (RF) to improve skin elasticity and muscle tone, used as monotherapy (HIFES + RF) and as a complex effect (HIFES + RF and botulinum therapy); their safety, effectiveness and patient satisfaction are assessed.
The protocol in the form of a complex effect of HIFES, monopolar radio-wave lifting and botulinum toxin type A shows the highest results in comparison with a monoprocedure, and also allows for personalized cosmetology correction of involutional atrophy of the skin of the lower third of the face and neck.
