High versus moderate energy use of bipolar fractional radiofrequency in the treatment of acne scars: a split-face double-blinded randomized control trial pilot study
High-energy bipolar fractional radiofrequency treatment is more effective for treating atrophic acne scars in Asians, but both energy settings show comparable efficacy at 3- and 6-month follow-up.
