Objectives: To underscore the critical role of the 1.5mm transducer depth (TD) in High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for achieving significant skin quality enhancement, distinct from conventional deeper treatments focused on laxity. To introduce and detail the specific clinical protocol employing the 1.5mm TD HIFU for superficial dermal rejuvenation. To share practical techniques and considerations for optimizing clinical outcomes in skin texture, pore refinement, pigmentation and fine lines using this modality.

Introduction: While the 3.0mm and 4.5mm transducers are commonly utilized in HIFU treatments for addressing tissue laxity via deeper thermal coagulation points, improvement of intrinsic skin quality necessitates specific targeting of the superficial dermis. Consequently, utilization of the 1.5mm TD is fundamentally important for this objective. This presentation will concentrate on the strategic application of the 1.5mm TD, maximizing overall skin quality enhancement.

Materials / method: This presentation focus on the application of 1.5mm TD HIFU for skin quality improvement. Key components of the protocol include specific patient selection criteria pertinent to superficial concerns, tailored treatment parameters optimized for the superficial dermis, and integration strategies within broader treatment plans.

Results: Application of the 1.5mm TD HIFU consistently yields discernible improvements in quantitative and qualitative parameters of skin quality. Observed outcomes typically include enhanced skin texture uniformity, reduction in apparent pore size, and amelioration of pigmentation. Representative clinical cases, including photographic documentation, will be presented to illustrate the tangible results achieved through this focused 1.5mm TD protocol.

Conclusion: Strategic targeting of the superficial dermis with the 1.5mm transducer depth is crucial when the primary therapeutic goal of HIFU is substantial improvement in intrinsic skin quality.

Objectives: HIFU is generally associated with intense pain with some patients not ready to go for the procedure. Also the conventional HIFU uses cartridges with a fixed and limited life span.

We present this new technology in HIFU which is painless and also has an unlimited life span of the hand piece

Introduction: Non-invasive body contouring is a rapidly growing field in cosmetic dermatology

Many a time the patients are apprehensive about undergoing surgical procedures for facial and body contouring

Although the outcome of non surgical contouring cant match the surgical procedures but the lack of downtime and less side effects makes the former the preferred technique for contouring
Ultrasound devices for body contouring have been uniquely designed for skin tightening and mild fat reduction using acoustic energy.

They are broadly classified into two categories:
High-frequency
Low-frequency devices

Materials / method: In motion HIFU is a new unique non-surgical anti-aging solution with immediate skin tightening and zero downtime !

The energy is delivered to the SMAS layer directly to regenerate collagen.
Conventional HIFU uses the stamping mode where 15 to20 shots are delivered in one go, which can be quite painful

In-motion HIFU delivers one shot at a time but repetitively with a gap of 0.1 secs between each shot.

This makes it a comfortable pain-free treatment.
The system has a single hand piece and does not need to change cartridges while targeting different depths in the skin

Results: Fixed Applicator ensures

No need of Cartridges – no consumables.

Hence a better ROI .

Better Penetration depth from 1.5mm – 13 mm ensures treatment of both the face & the body areas

Conclusion: Non-invasive body contouring is a rapidly growing field in cosmetic dermatology

HIFU is a very effective technique for lifting and tightening of the skin of the face and body

The unique feature of this technology is that it has the ability to penetrate deep upto the SMAS layer resulting in an impressive tightening and lifting of the skin

Objectives: This study investigates the potential synergistic effects of HIFU combined with lyophilized platelet injections by conducting a split-face comparison to objectively measure improvements in skin quality, elasticity, and volume restoration. The addition of lyophilized platelet injections enhances the collagen-stimulating effects of HIFU, accelerating and amplifying skin regeneration and tightening. This split-face study supports the potential role of regenerative biostimulatory agents in improving the outcomes of energy-based devices.
