Radiofrequency for Facial & Neck Rejuvenation: A Bibliometric Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Radiofrequency (RF) devices are increasingly utilized in facial and neck rejuvenation for their ability to remodel the dermis and stimulate neocollagenesis. Although efficacy and safety have been widely reported, patient-centered outcomes remain less well synthesized. The study aims to map global research trends on RF for facial and neck rejuvenation (2015-2025), focusing on efficacy, safety, and patient-reported outcomes. A bibliometric-systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA 2020. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and LILACS were searched for English-language studies from 2015 to 2025. Bibliometric data from Scopus were analyzed in R (Bibliometrix, Biblioshiny). Performance indicators, co-authorship, co-citation, keyword analyses, and thematic evolution were assessed.
