Globally, there has been a notable increase in interest and demand for aesthetic treatments among men in recent years. Given the rising trend, it is important to recognize and understand the distinctions in facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences between genders and different ethnicities. When designing treatment for male patients, these differences should be taken into consideration. Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) is recognized as the current gold standard for skin lifting and tightening. It is the only focused ultrasound device that allows real-time visualization of the treatment areas, thereby offering personalized and precise delivery of ultrasound energy to target tissue layers. Although guidelines for optimizing MFU-V treatment have been developed, there is currently no specific guidance for its application in men.
To provide practical insights for customizing MFU-V treatments tailored to the unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals of Asian men.
Based on the guiding principles in available consensus guidelines and our experience in treating Korean men of different ages presenting with varying concerns, we propose an MFU-V treatment protocol for facial lifting that takes into account specific facial anatomy characteristics and aesthetic needs of Asian male patients to achieve optimal clinical outcomes.
Relevant examples of the expected outcomes 3 months after applying the protocol are presented.
In our experience, applying this treatment protocol produces excellent skin-lifting effects, resulting in desired outcomes such as a more defined jawline, improvement in double chin appearance, and slimmer facial appearance.
近年来，在全球范围内，男性对美容治疗的兴趣和需求显著增加。鉴于这种上升趋势，认识和理解不同性别及不同种族之间面部解剖结构和审美偏好的差异非常重要。在为男性患者设计治疗方案时，应考虑这些差异。可视化微聚焦超声（MFU-V）被公认为目前皮肤提拉紧致的金标准。它是唯一能实时可视化治疗区域的聚焦超声设备，从而能将超声能量个性化、精准地传递到目标组织层。尽管已经制定了优化MFU-V治疗的指南，但目前尚无其在男性患者中应用的具体指导。
为根据亚洲男性独特的面部解剖结构和审美目标定制MFU-V治疗提供实用见解。
基于现有共识指南中的指导原则以及我们治疗不同年龄、不同问题的韩国男性患者的经验，我们提出一种用于面部提拉的MFU-V治疗方案，该方案考虑了亚洲男性患者特定的面部解剖特征和审美需求，以实现最佳临床效果。
展示了应用该方案3个月后预期效果的相关示例。
根据我们的经验，应用此治疗方案可产生出色的皮肤提拉效果，从而达到诸如更清晰的下颌轮廓、改善双下巴外观以及面部更显瘦等理想效果。
