Zonal ultrasound lipolysis with radiofrequency surgery for mid and lower face rejuvenation

Objectives: Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive compartmentalized ultrasound-assisted lipolysis combined with diamond microdermabrasion in facial rejuvenation and the treatment of “puffy cheeks.” Introduction: Introduction: 1. Facial skin aging primarily manifests as wrinkles, uneven texture, and sagging. 2. The emergence of “Facial Overfilling Syndrome (FOS)” has drawn significant attention, commonly referred to as “puffy face.” It can be categorized into: volume-related puffiness, age-related puffiness, obesity-related puffiness, and mixed-type puffiness. Materials / method: Method: Following ultrasound-assisted liposuction, the Facetite diamond-tipped radiofrequency handpiece is used to heat and stimulate skin contraction. This not only improves facial contour sagging, dissolves excess fat, treats premature skin aging, enhances skin elasticity, and addresses over-injection syndrome, but also delays the onset of skin laxity in the face and neck. Results: Results: Patients reported sustained rejuvenation improvements in facial wrinkles, contour lines, laxity, fat thickness, and skin elasticity to varying degrees. No significant adverse reactions were observed during treatment or follow-up. Conclusion: Conclusion: This technology demonstrates clear efficacy in facial rejuvenation applications with high patient satisfaction, effectively improving mid-to-lower facial aging symptoms. Ultrasound examinations reveal that treatment significantly reduces fat thickness in sagging and thickened areas while improving laxity in the treated regions, as confirmed by objective measurements.
