Resumen

Study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy (Beilin G. J Cosmet Laser Ther 2011;13:69-76) evaluating STOP, the first at-home TriPollar radiofrequency facial device and predecessor to TriPollar Stop Vx2 and TriPollar Aura, for improving skin firmness and wrinkles.

Methodology

  • Participants: 23 healthy women aged 37 to 64 years (mean 48.6) with phototypes II, III and V.
  • Protocol: first supervised session in clinic and 17 home sessions of 12 to 15 minutes, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. After, 6 maintenance sessions, one per week.
  • Variables: volume and depth of perioral and periorbital wrinkles with PRIMOS 3D imaging, Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale, photographs and satisfaction questionnaires.
  • Reviews: after the first session, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks.

Results

  • At 12 weeks, significant reduction in the volume of periorbital wrinkles in 95% of the participants and perioral wrinkles in 90%.
  • Mean reduction in wrinkle volume: 41% in the eye area (p = 0.04) and 19% in the lip area (p = 0.0029).
  • Fitzpatrick scale: 40% improvement in the eye area and 44% in the lip area at 12 weeks, above the point considered a significant improvement.
  • After the first session, a mean reduction of 39.7% in the volume of periorbital wrinkles was already measured.
  • 100% reported being satisfied or very satisfied and all perceived visible results from moderate to excellent.
  • No adverse effects were recorded.

Relationship with TriPollar Stop Vx2 and TriPollar Aura

STOP is the first TriPollar facial device for home use. TriPollar Stop Vx2 and TriPollar Aura evolve this same multi-radiofrequency with automatic temperature control and add DMA (Dynamic Muscle Activation), which works the facial muscles and complements the firming effect.

Conclusiones

The study demonstrates that at-home TriPollar radiofrequency significantly reduces wrinkles around the eyes and lips, with an average 41% reduction in the volume of periorbital wrinkles after 12 weeks.

The author concludes that the treatment is safe and effective without clinical supervision and that continued use maintains firmer, more flexible skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.

TriPollar Stop Vx2 and TriPollar Aura complement a regular skincare routine and cosmetic and medical aesthetic treatments.
