Study on the Safety, Efficacy of Home RF Cosmetic Instrument in the Treatment of Facial or Periorbital Wrinkles

The purpose of the clinical trial was to see if home radiofrequency beauty devices were effective in treating adults for reducing skin wrinkles. It will also learn about the safety of home RF beauty devices. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Reduction of facial or periocular wrinkles based on Fitzpatrick score (12 weeks);
• Possible adverse reactions and satisfaction survey during the use of subjects;

The researchers will compare the radiofrequency beauty device group with the control group (only medical ultrasonic coupling) to verify whether the home radiofrequency beauty device is effective in reducing skin wrinkles.

Participants will:

Receive home treatment according to the experimental group and continue to use it for 12 weeks.

At the 6th and 12th week, they will visit the medical institution for questionnaire survey and skin test.

Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use radiofrequency beauty device or medical ultrasonic coupling.
