Periorbital skin tightening with a broadband infrared device: Preliminary study results

Abstract

Periorbital rhytids are often the first signs of aging skin for which young patients seek a non-invasive, no downtime treatment. Recently, several skin-tightening modalities based on deep dermal heating with various energy sources, such as monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, as well as laser and broadband infrared light sources, have been introduced to treat mild wrinkles and skin laxity. This report presents preliminary study results using a new infrared device for the treatment of periorbital rhytids on 11 volunteer patients.
