Combined microfocused ultrasound and delicate pulsed light for facial rejuvenation: A prospective, randomized, and split-face study

Public's interest in noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatments continues to grow. The advantage of combination therapy lies in that it can target different aspects of skin rejuvenation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of microfocused ultrasound (MFU) combined with delicate pul...

description Public's interest in noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatments continues to grow. The advantage of combination therapy lies in that it can target different aspects of skin rejuvenation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of microfocused ultrasound (MFU) combined with delicate pulsed light (DPL) for facial rejuvenation. Twenty-one patients with facial relaxation were enrolled. All patients received whole-face MFU treatment, and one side of the face was randomly assigned to receive DPL. MFU treatment was performed at Months 0 and 3, while DPL treatment was performed at Months 1, 2, 4, and 5. The length and angle of the nasolabial fold and perioral wrinkles, melanin index (MI), erythema index (EI), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and follow-up time were recorded at Months 0, 3, and 6. Side effects were recorded during treatment and each follow-up visit. Twenty patients successfully completed the study. At the sixth month, the average length of perioral wrinkles and nasolabial folds on the combined side decreased by 11.5% (p

At the sixth month, the average length of perioral wrinkles and nasolabial folds on the combined side decreased by 11.5% (p  &lt; 0.001) and 6.5% (p  = 0.011), while 8.3% (p  = 0.012) and 3.8% (p  = 0.02) on the MFU side. Compared with MFU treatment alone, the combined treatment also showed significant improvements in nasolabial fold angle (from 28.8 ± 3.4° to 32.7 ± 5.0°) and perioral wrinkle angle (from 39.3 ± 5.0° to 43.7 ± 5.1°). In addition, the combined side had greater benefits than the MFU side in improving MI, EI, TEWL, and skin elasticity (p  &lt; 0.05). Except for one patient who withdrew due to increased skin sensitivity after MFU treatment, other subjects did not experience permanent or serious side effects. The combination of MFU and DPL for facial rejuvenation treatment is safe and effective. The combined treatment has better efficacy in skin firmness, and improving skin tone.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0196-8092</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1096-9101</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1096-9101</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23777</identifier><identifier>PMID: 38462706</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Wiley Subscription Services, Inc</publisher><subject>Combined treatment ; Effectiveness ; Elasticity ; Erythema ; Face ; Melanin ; Side effects ; Skin ; Ultrasonic imaging ; Ultrasound ; Water loss</subject><ispartof>Lasers in surgery and medicine, 2024-04, Vol.56 (4), p.346-354</ispartof><rights>2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c273t-f620139e319be39a887184c6d75936cf037e1b97e9689471288f82595d4674383</cites><orcidid>0009-0002-2733-7917</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,27901,27902</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/38462706$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Wang, Yawen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Liang, Jingchen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Chen, Ying</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Xia, Jun</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Liu, Yanting</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Liu, Jing</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Li, Youbao</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yang, Mengyao</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Wang, Zhao</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zeng, Weihui</creatorcontrib><title>Combined microfocused ultrasound and delicate pulsed light for facial rejuvenation: A prospective, randomized, and split-face study</title><title>Lasers in surgery and medicine</title><addtitle>Lasers Surg Med</addtitle><description>Public's interest in noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatments continues to grow.
