The use of HA has increased rapidly because it provides facial rejuvenation at a low cost and short recovery time. Its popularity and wide usage is due to its stability, ease of use, good aesthetic outcomes, and rare adverse events. In 2016, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery stated thatmore than 2.4 million HA filler procedures were performed. Radiofrequency is another commonly used technique for facial rejuvenation. Radiofrequency treatments produce an electric current that delivers heat into the dermis. This causes immediate collagen contraction and skin tightening, as well as subsequent remodeling and generation of collagen. Radiofrequency is an effective treatment for photoagingwith few side effects or downtime.
