Abstract

Background: Ultrasound-based devices have been developed to improve various cosmetic indications, including fines lines, wrinkles, eyebrow laxity, and submental laxity. Ultrasound waves of high intensity targeting the dermis can induce neocollagenesis, neoelastogenesis, and subsequent remodeling to improve the clinical appearance of these indications.

Objective: To examine the utility of a novel ultrasound device that utilizes high-intensity, high-frequency, parallel ultrasound beams to improve the clinical appearance of skin laxity on the upper arms.

Materials and methods: A prospective, multicenter, clinical study investigated this novel ultrasound device using two treatments.

Results: Forty-six subjects were enrolled and underwent treatment. Mean age was 59 years, and 100% were women. Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV were represented. Assessments compared baseline to 3-month follow-up. Two out of 3 blinded reviewers agreed in identifying pretreatment and post-treatment photographs for 88.9% of subjects (p < .0001), who were considered responders. Blinded reviewers rated significant improvements in skin crepiness and laxity scale (1.97 vs 2.95; p < .0001) and also in Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale in 93.3% of photographs. No device-related adverse events occurred.

Conclusion: A novel ultrasound device that utilizes high-intensity, high-frequency, parallel ultrasound beams can safely and effectively improve skin laxity of the upper arms.

背景：超声波设备已被开发用于改善各种美容适应症，包括细纹、皱纹、眉毛松弛和下颌松弛。针对真皮层的高强度超声波可诱导新胶原生成、新弹性生成和随后的重塑，从而改善这些适应症的临床外观：研究利用高强度、高频率、平行超声波束改善上臂皮肤松弛临床表现的新型超声波设备的效用：一项前瞻性、多中心临床研究采用两种治疗方法对这种新型超声设备进行了调查：结果：46 名受试者接受了治疗。平均年龄为 59 岁，100% 为女性。菲茨帕特里克皮肤类型为 I-IV 型。评估比较了基线和 3 个月的随访。在 3 位盲审者中，有 2 位能识别 88.9% 受试者的治疗前和治疗后照片（p < .0001），他们被认为是应答者。蒙眼评审员在皮肤皱褶和松弛量表（1.97 vs 2.95；p < .0001）以及93.3%的照片的全球美学改善量表中均评定为明显改善。没有发生与设备相关的不良事件：结论：一种利用高强度、高频率、平行超声束的新型超声设备可以安全有效地改善上臂皮肤松弛。
