This prospective, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of high-intensity, non-focused ultrasound in 42 Asian patients aged 35 to 67. At 3 months post-treatment, 83.3% of participants showed improvement in submental and neck skin laxity, with additional benefits observed in eyebrow elevation and facial wrinkles.
Key findings
- 83.3% of patients showed improvement in submental and neck skin laxity at 3 months.
- 28.6% of participants experienced eyebrow elevation improvement.
- 38.1% showed improvement in facial wrinkles at 3 months.
- Transient edema and erythema were noted in 7.2% and 50% of patients, respectively.
Why it matters
The findings suggest that high-intensity, non-focused ultrasound may be a viable option for improving skin laxity and facial wrinkles, particularly in Asian populations, with a favorable safety profile.
