# Clinical and Instrument-Based Evaluation of Plasma IQ Microcurrent Radiofrequency for Periorbital Skin Rejuvenation

## TL;DR

This study shows that the Plasma IQ device, using microcurrent radiofrequency, effectively rejuvenates periorbital skin by improving elasticity and reducing wrinkles.

## Contribution

The study provides clinical evidence for the efficacy of Plasma IQ microcurrent RF in non-invasive periorbital skin rejuvenation.

## Key findings

- RF treatment improved skin elasticity by 22.51%.
- The distance between the upper eyelid margin and fold increased by 46.94% at day 21 and 49.11% at day 90.
- The treatment reduces wrinkles and enhances upper eyelid definition non-invasively.

## Abstract

Background: Non-surgical procedures utilizing microcurrent radiofrequency (RF) represent a non-invasive option for patients experiencing skin laxity and loss of firmness due to aging, hormonal changes, or weight fluctuations. Such treatments benefit individuals seeking both preventive measures to delay visible aging and corrective approaches to improve existing skin laxity without invasive surgery. The Plasma IQ medical device generates microcurrent RF energy that produces controlled heating, leading to targeted tissue ablation and subsequent remodelling. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Plasma IQ in the treatment of skin laxity. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients presenting with facial skin laxity and photodamage underwent treatment with the Plasma IQ device. Clinical outcomes were assessed prior to the procedure and at 7, 21 and 90 days post-treatment. Results: RF treatment produced a measurable improvement in skin elasticity (+22.51%). The distance between the upper eyelid margin and the beginning of the eyelid fold increased by 2.01 mm (+46.94%) at day 21 and by 2.11 mm (+49.11%) at day 90. Conclusions: Microcurrent RF delivered by the Plasma IQ device is an effective non-invasive method for periocular skin rejuvenation. The treatment improves skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles around the eyes, and increases the visible distance between the upper eyelid margin and fold, thereby enhancing upper eyelid definition.
