Abstract
Background and aim: Skin rejuvenation is in demand. In recent years, mono- and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) have been reckoned as treatment of choice for this purpose. The studies on RF have shown the remodeling of collagen fibers and consequently improvement of skin texture although risks and side effects may exist.
Methods: Forty-eight patients requesting skin rejuvenation were treated by RF after obtaining written consent from them. The diagnosis had been made solely on the basis of examination and observation. The photography was performed in all patients pre- and post-treatment. The pictures were evaluated by a dermatologist unaware of the sequence of photos.
Results: the wrinkles improved in 26(54%) patients. The response was better with increasing age. Transient pain and erythema were reported by all patients.
Conclusion: Radiofrequency is an appropriate treatment for reducing the number and the depth of wrinkles and needs comprehensive education. At least, 4 treatment sessions with 2-week intervals are required for effectiveness.

Abstract
Recently, a new technology called nano-fractional radiofrequency has been developed in the treatment of skin rejuvenation. This novel technology can reduce side effects and recovery time due to the smaller pin size. The clinical trials have reported the effectiveness and safety of this new technology for treating many skin disorders such as rhytides, acne erythema, scarring, rosacea, striae and skin laxity. Despite its growing usage in aesthetic fields many clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this novel technology.

Abstract
Rosacea is an inflammatory, chronic and cosmetically annoying common dermatologic disorder which presents with cutaneous telangiectasia, sustained erythema with courses of flares and flushings, papulopustular lesions, ocular involvement or disfigurating phymas. Although there are many relative effective medical therapies, however there are not any promissable treatment. Due to chronic nature of disease and exhausting usage of topical or systemic therapies , we decided to review Pubmed’s literature for non-medical physical therapies, looking for more effective modalities and minimal side effects, particularly in intractable cases.
