The aim of this paper is to present the results of a new technique for lower face and neck rejuvenation named the MICRO-lift (Minimally Invasive, Combined Radiofrequency, Outpatient lift).

This technique is based on a bipolar radiofrequency treatment applied to specific ligamentous areas.

Inclusion criteria were patients with skin laxity of the neck and jowls, with or without fat accumulation. Patients who presented platysma sag and alteration of subplatysmal structures were excluded from the study.

The distribution of the energy was adapted to the ligament anatomy, differentiating three areas based on the energy concentration.

In all patients, sex, age at surgery, type of anesthesia, radiofrequency parameters and complications were registered.

In all cases, standard photographs and satisfaction interviews were conducted preoperatively and postoperatively. Satisfaction evaluation was also assessed.
