Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of radiofrequency combined with photoelectric therapy in the management of facial pigmentation and skin anti-aging.
Methods: A total of 100 patients with facial pigmentation accompanied by skin aging who were treated between January 2022 and January 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group (50 cases each) using a random number table. The control group received photoelectric therapy alone, while the observation group received additional radiofrequency therapy. Improvements in facial pigmentation, changes in skin elasticity and firmness, skin texture scores, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.
Results: After treatment, facial pigmentation was significantly improved in both groups compared with baseline, and the improvement in the observation group was superior to that in the control group (P<0.05). The observation group showed significantly higher scores in skin elasticity, firmness, and overall skin texture than the control group (P<0.05). No serious adverse reactions were observed in either group, and there was no significant difference between groups in the incidence of mild erythema or edema (P>0.05). Patient satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Radiofrequency combined with photoelectric therapy can effectively improve facial pigmentation while enhancing skin firmness and overall texture, with good safety. It is suitable for the management of facial pigmentation and skin anti-aging and is worthy of clinical promotion.
