SUMMARY

Abstract
This study investigates how minimally invasive bipolar radiofrequency technologies (FaceTite and AccuTite) and fractional bipolar RF can achieve facial and dermal tightening, adipose coagulation, and collagen remodeling. The hypothesis is that RF energy delivered through these modalities can provide comprehensive aesthetic improvements in skin laxity, texture, and volume without excisional surgery.

Conclusion
The study concludes that FaceTite and AccuTite effectively target adipose and dermal structures for contouring and tightening, while fractional bipolar RF complements these effects by improving skin quality and texture at multiple depths. This combination approach offers clinicians a versatile, non-surgical toolkit for facial rejuvenation. The authors recommend customized treatment protocols based on anatomical region, skin type, and patient goals.

TOPICS COVERED

  • Use of FaceTite and AccuTite to coagulate subcutaneous fat and contract fibroseptal tissue
  • Preservation of the papillary dermis for consistent dermal support
  • Application of fractional bipolar RF for:
    • Superficial ablation (for pigmentation and fine lines)
    • Controlled dermal coagulation (for collagen renewal)
    • Volumetric heating (for deeper collagen stimulation)
  • Use of programmable needle depths and energy levels for precision targeting
  • Combination use of fractional RF and subdermal RFAL for layered results
