ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the efficacy of Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (FRM) in treating corticosteroid-induced facial erythema.METHODS:
A retrospective study was conducted involving eight patients diagnosed as corticosteroid-induced facial erythema. Each patient underwent a single session of FRM. Evaluative measures included Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA), Patient's Self-Assessment (PSA), assessment of telangiectasia severity, procedure-associated pain (10-point scale), patient satisfaction (3-point scale) and secondary outcomes.RESULTS:
The study found a 75% success rate and 100% effectiveness rate in alleviating erythema symptoms. CEA and PSA scores decreased by 67.7% and 78.1%, respectively. No cases of erythema rebound were recorded during the 3-month follow-up period.CONCLUSIONS:
FRM demonstrated effectiveness and safety in treating facial erythema, offering promising advancement in dermatologic therapeutics.Palabras clave
