Will Aluma laser radio frequency skin tightening break down my fillers?

Question

Brian S. Biesman, MD · Answer

This particular device has not been available for several years. While it is quite safe, it is not as effective as some other approaches to skin tightening.I would explore some other options before moving ahead with Aluma treatment.

Michael H. Gold, MD · Answer

I have not heard
that term in years – I did the FDA clinical work with Lumenis on this device –
it is an RF device with an associated vacuum device that was available for skin
tightening, but for the most part, disappeared in the US market. There are
disposable tips associated with the device so unless they are still being sold
by Lumenis, I would be reluctant to have that procedure done at this time.
Having said that, there are several very important clinical studies out there
that have clearly demonstrated that if you have had filler injections done, RF
energy will NOT break down the fillers. So I hope that helps.

In general RF will not breakdown fillers, the exception to this rule is that if fillers are placed very superfically (such as with acne scars). In this situation, there is not enough data to support RF and filler interactions. On the flip side there have been many papers showing the safety of RF devices, in combination with fillers.
