description | Facial skin quality profoundly influences an individual’s perceived appearance and is an important aspect of facial rejuvenation. Facial pore enlargement is one of the most common concerns among Asian individuals that adversely impacts perceived skin surface evenness and affects overall skin quality. One of the major causes of enlarged pores is facial skin laxity. Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy; Merz North America, Inc., Raleigh, N.C.) is indicated for lifting and tightening of the face and neck, and improving the appearance of wrinkles on the décolletage. In addition, it is useful for addressing several aspects of facial rejuvenation, including facial pores, skin laxity, skin unevenness, etc., but there is limited literature on these applications. Thus, we present our proposed MFU-V treatment protocol for achieving a harmonious outcome for attractive skin, along with practical strategies for its application, illustrated in patients presenting with enlarged pores as their main concern. Drawing on our collective experience in using MFU-V for facial rejuvenation and the recently published skin quality framework that advocates addressing interrelated attributes of skin quality for optimal outcomes, we developed a treatment protocol for improving skin quality using MFU-V. This MFU-V treatment protocol reliably improves overall skin quality in patients presenting with enlarged pores, through MFU-V’s effects on skin lifting and tightening, and consequent improvement in facial pores and skin texture. This treatment protocol can be readily used as part of a multimodal layering approach to yield successful outcomes in patients with various facial skin concerns. |
