Facial skin quality profoundly influences an individual's perceived appearance and is an important aspect of facial rejuvenation. Facial pore enlargement is one of the most common concerns among Asian individuals that adversely impacts perceived skin surface evenness and affects overall skin quality. One of the major causes of enlarged pores is facial skin laxity. Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy; Merz North America, Inc., Raleigh, N.C.) is indicated for lifting and tightening of the face and neck, and improving the appearance of wrinkles on the décolletage...

BACKGROUND: Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy® , Merz North America) is US Food and Drug Administration-cleared as a non-invasive procedure that lifts the soft tissue of the neck, submentum and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. Several other energy-based devices are in use in countries outside the USA where they are marketed for indications similar to those of MFU-V, although published studies supporting these indications are limited and none of the other devices provides visualization or verification they reach the superficial musculoaponeurotic system...

BACKGROUND: There is no publication to date on the combined use of microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) for brachial skin laxity. AIM: To assess the effectiveness of combining MFU-V with diluted/hyperdiluted CaHA in a single session for treating brachial skin laxity. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Female subjects who had skin laxity in the brachial regions and who desired non-surgical intervention were enrolled into this prospective, single-arm pilot study...

BACKGROUND: Standard lifting and tightening protocols with microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V, Ultherapy) comprise the use of multiple transducer depths. We developed a shortened, single depth treatment protocol for patients seeking skin rejuvenation. METHODS: Single-center, prospective case series. Subjects with static periorbital wrinkles, perioral wrinkles, or accordion lines had a single MFU-V treatment comprising up to 340 lines (periorbital 120, perioral 100, and accordion 120) with the superficial depth transducer (10...

Background: A device that uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) is cleared in the United States and European Union as a noninvasive procedure that lifts and tightens the skin (Ultherapy® System; Merz North America, Raleigh, NC, USA). The objective of this patient survey was to obtain more in-depth information on patient satisfaction during the MFU-V treatment procedure and satisfaction with their aesthetic results. Methods: Survey participants had received MFU-V treatment and completed at least 6 months of follow-up...

PURPOSE: The efficacy of microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy® ) has been demonstrated in clinical studies and daily practice. However, data addressing skin physiology after MFU-V treatment are lacking. This observational evaluation was aimed to assess skin physiology before and after MFU-V treatment using noninvasive biophysical measurements. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-two female patients with moderate-to-severe skin sagging at the jawline and submental region on the Merz Aesthetics Scale obtained a single MFU-V treatment according to protocol...

Non-surgical aesthetic devices intended for treatment of lax and loose skin have gained popularity due to their ability to non-invasively improve patient's aesthetic condition and its low side effect profile. This study is intended to review available peer reviewed literature about Ultherapy, ThermaCool, and Exilis Ultra 360 non-invasive skin tightening devices to compare their treatment efficacy and patient subjective satisfaction.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Microfocused ultrasound (MFUS) technology has been utilized since 2009 for improvement in mild to moderate skin and soft tissue laxity of the face and neck. Few complications have been previously reported, the majority of which include mild and transient erythema, edema, ecchymosis, and nerve paralysis. Rare yet serious potential complications of MFUS for noninvasive skin tightening of the face and neck are, however, possible. METHODS & MATERIALS: Retrospective multicenter case series of five patients from the authors' practice who developed serious adverse events directly related to MFUS with a commercially available device (Ultherapy; Merz North America, Inc...

The Merz Institute of Advanced Aesthetics Expert Summit was held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 19-20 November 2016. The meeting had a distinct advisory board character and invited aesthetic practitioners from all over the world to hear an international faculty present a range of keynote lectures and conduct live injection sessions with an emphasis on recent developments in combination aesthetic interventions for face and body rejuvenation and beautification. Aging is associated with changes in bones, muscles, ligaments, adipose tissue, and skin and, moreover, involves interactions among these tissue types...

Age-associated skin laxity contributes to worsening of cellulite appearance. This study evaluated the effects of microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy) in combination with diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA; Radiesse) on cellulite appearance and on neocollagenesis. METHODS: Twenty women (18-55 years old) with skin laxity and moderate-to-severe cellulite on the buttocks and thighs were retrospectively enrolled. MFU-V was applied using 4 and 7 MHz transducers (25 lines/transducer/site) and immediately followed by subdermal CaHA injection (1 ml/buttock or thigh)...

BACKGROUND: Aging of the face, neck, and décolletage is a multifactorial process involving epidermal photodamage and loss of soft tissue and bony volume. Multilevel rejuvenation of these areas can be obtained by enhancing volume restoration, neocollagenesis, and tissue contraction with combined efficacy of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and microfocused ultrasound (MFU, Ultherapy) treatments. METHODS: The authors reviewed the use of PLLA and MFUs as collaborative modalities to improve the appearance of the face, neck, and décolletage...

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 intervening papillary dermal and epidermal layers of skin remain unaffected. The application of heat at these discrete thermal coagulation points causes collagen fibers in the facial planes such as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system and platysma, as well as the deep reticular dermis, to become denatured, contracting and stimulating de novo collagen...

INTRODUCTION: Facial aging is a gradual process that involves a complex interaction of multiple factors including cutaneous photodamage and laxity, subcutaneous tissue volume loss, and bony resorption. These features have all been show to significantly improve with intense pulsed light (IPL), microfocused ultrasound (MFUS, Ultherapy), and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). METHODS: To review the use of IPL, MFUS, and PLLA in combination with the treatment of facial aging...
