Intense focused ultrasound (IFUS) is a Nonablative skin tightening technology with good safety profile, but limited efficacy. Most clinical studies have been performed to evaluate the efficacy of the Ulthera IFUS (Ulthera, Mesa, AZ) in treating redundant skin.
To report our experience with Doublo IFUS (Doublo™, HIRONIC Co.) for treating neck and lower face laxity.
This is a prospective study of 43 patients with neck and lower facial laxity treated using IFUS. Response was assessed by two independent dermatologists and graded on a scale of 0 (exacerbation) to 5 (75%-100% improvement). Patient's level of "sagging" and "volume loss", satisfaction and tolerance were documented.
Nine subjects (52.9%) mentioned some improvement. Erythema and edema were acute and transient responses.
Ultrasound appears to be a safe modality for facial skin tightening in selected patients with minor skin sagging and no volume discrepancy.
高强度聚焦超声(IFUS)是一种非消融性皮肤紧致技术,具有良好的安全性,但疗效有限。大多数临床研究都是为了评估 Ulthera IFUS(Ulthera,Mesa,AZ)治疗多余皮肤的疗效。
报告我们使用 Doublo IFUS(Doublo™,HIRONIC Co.)治疗颈部和下面部松弛的经验。
这是一项前瞻性研究,共 43 例颈部和下面部松弛的患者接受 IFUS 治疗。反应由两位独立的皮肤科医生评估,并按 0(恶化)到 5(75%-100%改善)的评分进行分级。记录了患者的“下垂”和“体积损失”程度、满意度和耐受性。
9 名受试者(52.9%)提到了一些改善。红斑和水肿是急性和短暂的反应。
超声似乎是一种安全的方法,适用于少数皮肤下垂且无体积差异的患者进行面部皮肤紧致。
