Studies have shown the ability of GA to stimulate fibroblast proliferation, induce collagen synthesis, and decrease collagen degradation. The VoluDerm radiofrequency microneedling (RFMN; Pollogen, Tel Aviv, Israel) utilizes an array of microelectrodes to penetrate the epidermis and deliver energy to the skin. The controlled fractional thermal injury promotes neocollagenesis in the correction of skin laxity and wrinkle reduction. It was theorized that GA and VoluDerm could synergistically boost collagen production in combined treatment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Safety and efficacy of the combination treatment were investigated in patients seeking corrections of the age-related skin deteriorations.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Seven female patients (aged 42-70 years, Fitzpatrick II-IV) with photo- and chrono-damaged skin received 5 treatments of VoluDerm followed by the GA peel at increasing 30% to 70% concentrations.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Clinical photography taken 6 months after the treatment demonstrated improvement in elasticity, wrinkling, roughness, pigmentation, erythema, and pore size across the entire treated group. Efficacy quantified by the physician and patients per 1 to 5 Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale was average 4.3 and 4.5, respectively. The treatments were tolerated well without preprocedural anesthesia.
