Abstract summary (English) Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) is a noninvasive treatment method that is widely used for skin tightening. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of a novel MFU device for temporary eyebrow lifting and glabellar wrinkle reduction. In this prospective, single-center, single-arm, and open-label study, 38 patients were enrolled.

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Noninvasive aesthetic procedures for facial rejuvenation are gaining popularity. Conventional treatments, such as radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), primarily improve skin quality but do not address the deeper musculoaponeurotic structures that affect facial laxity. A novel approach that delivers synchronized RF with high intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES)...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Recently, macro-focused ultrasound (MFU) has become a popular noninvasive esthetic treatment for facial laxity. However, there are no studies done that evaluated the use of MFU with a 2.0 mm transducer for upper facial lifting. AIMS: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of MFU with a 2.0 mm transducer in the treatment of upper facial laxity in Thai patients.

Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Previous studies of microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) on facial and neck laxity were largely based on masked physician assessments, histological analysis, and safety profile. More quantitative studies are needed. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the 800 treatment lines of MFU-V on skin tightening effect of face and neck in Asians using 2 quantitative analysis systems at 0, 90, and 180 days after...
