A case of fractional microneedling radiofrequency induced rosacea

Fractional microneedling radiofrequency (FMR) has been reported to improve cutaneous wrinkles due to its effects of inducing neoelastogenesis and neocollagenosis. Furthermore, FMR has shown to be effective in acne scars, acne lesions, hyperhidrosis, acne-related postinflammatory erythema and recently in rosacea. FMR treatment has been suggested to improve rosacea by reducing inflammation and abnormal vessel proliferation. Here we present a 61-year-old female who developed rosacea symptoms after the treatment of FMR for cutaneous wrinkles. Since the case shows conflictory findings with the previous data, it was found worthy presentation.
