tier1 New Ultherapy method: Utilizing novel surgical and anatomical concepts yields outstanding results.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) is a technique for skin rejuvenation and lifting, targeting the facial SMAS-a fibrous network encompassing the platysma muscle and parotid fascia. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to propose a novel and cost-effective method (suggested by Fatemi) for Ultherapy, comparing its effectiveness with the conventional approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective double-blind clinical...

Abstract summary (English) Microfocused ultrasound is a unique technology to treat skin laxity of the brow, lower face, and the rhytides of the décolletage. Over the past several years, the efficacy and safety of this device has been well documented and its adoption widespread. By delivering focused acoustic energy, which is converted to heat, this device creates predictable and reproducible microcoagulative zones that initiate a concentrated...

View on PubMedtier0_review Noninvasive skin tightening: focus on new ultrasound techniques.
Abstract summary (English) Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) has been recently developed to meet the ever-growing public demand for achieving significant, noninvasive skin lifting and tightening. MFU can be focused on subcutaneous tissue where the temperature briefly reaches greater than 60°C, producing small (<1 mm(3)) thermal coagulation points to a depth of up to 5 mm within the mid-to-deep reticular layer of the dermis and subdermis. The...

Abstract summary (English) UNLABELLED: Fat accumulation, skin laxity, and muscle contraction cause aging cervical fullness. Combining botulinum toxin to treat muscle contraction, and technique-oriented microfocused ultrasound for skin laxity, can improve cervical fullness without requiring lipolysis. Gel-assisted depth adjustment (GADA) is a depth-targeting, image-guided approach using an appropriate gel volume to precisely heat tissue layers...

Abstract summary (English) High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can be applied noninvasively to create focused zones of tissue coagulation on various skin layers. We performed a comparative study of HIFU, evaluating patterns of focused tissue coagulation and ablation upon application thereof. A tissue-mimicking (TM) phantom was prepared with bovine serum albumin and polyacrylamide hydrogel to evaluate the geometric patterns of...
