Use of a Nonablative Radiofrequency Device to Rejuvenate the Upper One‐Third of the Face

Abstract

The ThermaCool TC nonablative radiofrequency device for in-office rejuvenation of the upper one-third of the face procedure does provide brow elevation in a majority of patients; however, the majority of the study patients did not perceive benefit from the procedure. Patient satisfaction in facial plastic surgery must be an important part of the decision of whether or not to introduce a new device into a practice setting.
