چکیده

مقدمه: رادیوفرکوئنسی تکنیک جدیدی است که برای درمان چروک‌های صورت به کار می‌رود. در این مطالعه تأثیر یکی از انواع رادیوفرکوئنسی یعنی Accent در بهبودی چروک‌های نواحی مختلف صورت مورد بررسی قرار گرفت.روش‌ها: بیماران دارای چروک‌های ناحیه‌ی صورت از خفیف تا شدید تحت درمان با رادیوفرکوئنسی با انرژی بین 35 تا 145 وات قرار گرفتند. متوسط انرژی به کار رفته در این مطالعه 11/83 وات بود. بیماران 4 جلسه درمان را با فاصله‌ی 4 هفته دریافت کردند. میزان بهبودی چروک، توسط 2 پزشک Blind نسبت به مداخله، با مقایسه‌ی عکس‌های گرفته شده قبل از درمان و 6 ماه بعد از درمان تعیین ‌گردید. علاوه بر این میزان رضایت‌مندی بیماران 1 و 6 ماه بعد ازدرمان مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت.یافته‌ها: 45 بیمار در این مطالعه شرکت داشتند. 1 ماه بعد از درمان، 9/8 درصد بیماران عدم رضایت خود را اعلام کردند. 3/53 درصد تا حدی راضی، 3/33 درصد راضی و 4/4 درصد خیلی راضی بودند. 6 ماه بعد از درمان 4/4 درصد از بیماران از درمان خود رضایت نداشتند، 1/31 درصد تا حدی راضی، 7/46 درصد راضی و 8/17 درصد خیلی راضی بودند. میزان رضایت‌مندی بیماران بعد از 6 ماه به صورت معنی‌داری بیشتر از میزان رضایت‌مندی آن‌ها بعد از یک ماه از درمان بود. در هیچ یک از نواحی تحت درمان بهبودی بالای 75 درصد مشاهده نگردید.نتیجه‌گیری: با توجه به مقایسه‌ی نتایج به دست آمده و پارامترهای به کار رفته به وسیله‌ی دستگاه Accent در این مطالعه با مطالعات پیشین، تعداد جلسات بیشتر و انرژی بالاتر جهت دستیابی به نتایج بهتر برای بهبود چین و چروک‌های صورت به وسیله‌ی این تکنولوژی توصیه می‌گردد.

چکیده [English]

Background: Radiofrequency (RF) is a new technique to treat facial wrinkles. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of Accent RF in wrinkle reduction of different areas of the face..Methods: Patients with mild to severe facial wrinkles were treated with Accent using RF energies of 35 to 145 watts. The average energy used in this study was 83.11 watts. Patients received 4 subsequent weekly RF sessions. Wrinkle improvement was rated by two double- blinded physicians comparing 6-month post-treatment and pre-treatment photographs. Moreover, patient satisfaction was assessed at 1 and 6 months after the last session of the treatment.Findings: Overall, 45 women participated in this study. One month after the last treatment, 8.9% of the patients declared their dissatisfaction, 53.3% were relatively satisfied, 33.3% were satisfied, and 4.4% were very satisfied. At the 6th month, 4.4% of the patients were dissatisfied, 31.1% were relatively satisfied, 46.7% were satisfied, and 17.8% were very satisfied. Patient satisfaction 6 months after the last treatment was significantly higher than 1 month post-treatment. After 6 months, patient satisfaction was not more than 75% in any treatment areas of the face.Conclusion: Comparing the findings of this study with previous studies suggests using higher energy levels and more treatment sessions to result in better clinical improvement of facial wrinkles.
