Efficacy of Pulsed Electromagnetic Energy in Postoperative Recovery from Blepharoplasty

Background

A novel medical device that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration is available for treatment of postsurgical edema. The device emits a low-level, pulsed electromagnetic energy field, which modulates resting cell membrane potential, allowing a return to physiologic resting membrane potential.



Objective

To investigate the benefits of electromagnetic energy in eyelid wound healing.



Methods

Fifty-seven individuals participated in this randomized, double-blinded study. All patients underwent upper blepharoplasty. At the postoperative visit, patients rated pain, edema, and ecchymosis, and the physician rated edema, ecchymosis, and erythema.



Results

There was no difference (p = .76) in patient ...
