Disease description:

Wrinkles on my face are increasing, and anti-wrinkle creams are no longer effective. I'm considering getting a non-surgical radiofrequency skin tightening treatment (also known as "cold radiofrequency" or "ice wave lift"). What side effects might this procedure have?

The main benefit of cryo radiofrequency skin tightening is improving wrinkles, but certain side effects may occur. The primary side effect is skin damage caused by external stimulation during the treatment. If postoperative care is inadequate, localized swelling and pain may develop. Additionally, if inflammation is not promptly resolved and repeated infections occur, noticeable scarring may result. It is recommended to undergo cryo radiofrequency skin tightening at a正规 medical cosmetic facility and follow a doctor's guidance for proper anti-infection care after the procedure.
