Description
Facial Tightening Using a Novel Vacuum-Attracted Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency System: A Prospective, Randomized, Split-Face Study Supplementary Documents Supplementary Fig. 1 Patient enrollment and treatment randomization. Supplementary Fig. 2 Comparisons of the visual analog scale (VAS) scores; volumetric changes of the lower eyelid, midface, and mandible; changes in the number of facial wrinkles on the treated and control sides of each patient before treatment and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment. Supplementary Fig. 3 A 62-year-old woman before treatment and 3 and 6 months after the last treatment (A–C). A significant improvement in the right-side eye bags was observed. Before treatment (A), 3 months after the last treatment (B), and 6 months after the last treatment (C). Supplementary Fig. 4 A 35-year-old man before treatment (A) and 3 (B) and 6 (C) months after the last treatment. A significant improvement was observed. The contour of the mandible was significantly improved on the right side of the face (treatment side). Supplementary Fig. 5 A 49-year-old woman before treatment (A, C, E, G) and 6 months (B, D, F, H) after the last treatment. A significant improvement in the periorbital wrinkles on the right side of the face was observed. (A–D) VISIA detected periorbital wrinkles; (E–H) a 3D camera detected the improvement of periorbital wrinkles. Supplementary Fig. 6 A 3D camera detected the effect of facial volume changes. A 40-year-old female, before treatment (A, C, E, G, I, K) and 6 months (B, D, F, H, J, L) after treatment. On the treatment side (right side of the face), the mid-face, mandibular margin, and submental volumes were significantly reduced. Supplementary Table 1 Patient satisfaction scale and adverse events.
