Use of Micro-focused Ultrasound for Skin Tightening of Mid and Lower Face

摘要

The changes in the mid face and lower face are among the most prominent features of the aging process. Intense focused ultrasound, known as the Ulthera System (Ulthera Inc., Mesa, AZ, USA), was designed to correct this process. It employs micro-focused ultrasound to cause discrete focal heating of the dermis and stimulates neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling.
