Objectives: This lecture explores how integrating ultrasound imaging can guide and enhance the effectiveness of microfocused ultrasound treatments. Sonography plays a crucial role in improving precision by enabling accurate treatment planning and real-time monitoring. By visualizing the specific areas requiring treatment, practitioners can fine-tune the depth and intensity of the microfocused ultrasound, leading to optimal results. This approach not only boosts the accuracy and efficacy of treatments but also enhances overall safety, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.
Introduction: Microfocused ultrasound treatments have gained prominence for their non-invasive benefits, yet their effectiveness is highly dependent on accurate targeting. Integrating ultrasound imaging aims to improve the precision and outcome of these treatments by enabling real-time visualization and adjustment.
Materials / method: This study utilized high-frequency ultrasound (24 MHz) to visualize the anatomy of the treatment areas, allowing for adjustments to both the depth and intensity settings of the microfocused ultrasound.
Results: The integration of ultrasound imaging resulted in enhanced precision in targeting treatment areas. We review the sonographic anatomy of the primary regions of the face and neck, distinguishing the layers and depths of the dermis, hypodermis, and the musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). This review aids practitioners in improving accuracy in treatment planning and real-time adjustments, leading to more effective and safer outcomes. Visualizing exact treatment zones facilitates optimal depth and intensity settings.
Conclusion: Incorporating ultrasound imaging into microfocused ultrasound treatments improves precision, efficacy, and safety. This approach allows for more accurate treatment planning and real-time monitoring, ultimately providing better results and enhanced safety for patients.
