Abstract: Skin laxity is one of the most concerned problems for many aesthetic patients. Laxity of the skin can cause by many factors. High intensity focused ultrasound or HIFU is now an one of effective non-surgical procedure to treat individuals who have mild-to-moderate skin laxity. The demand of non-surgical procedure is now rising gradually. Many people want the treatment with less downtime, low risk profile and more natural appearance. After procedure, wound healing process occurs, including de novo collagen synthesis and remodeling. The adverse effects of HIFU are pain, transient erythema, edema, bruising and myalgia. For this research, the researcher made an effort to evaluate efficacy and complications of super-density treatment. Objective: To study the efficacy and side effect of super-density high intensity focused ultrasound to treat skin laxity for full face and upper neck lift. Material and Methods: Eleven participants with mild to moderate skin laxity of face were performed HIFU facial lifting procedure with super-density treatment. All enrolled subjects had been taken a photograph of the straight face by digital camera in each follow-up visit. Clinical visits were scheduled at immediate after treatment and after 1, 3, 7, 30 and 90 days. These representative clinical photographs were evaluated by three physicians blinded and subjects to treatment group and timing of the photographs, using Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). The researcher carefully observed about side effects after treatment by taking the history and physical examination, and then recorded the noticeably founded incidences Results: There were significant differences of mean GAIS since 1 day after treatment. Within first 7 days after treatment, most participants were evaluated worse with GAIS 1.09; however, the GAIS substantially showed improvement since 30 days after treatment. Physician GAIS were evaluated as improved results 90.90% at day 30 and 100% at day 90. Most subjects estimated worse results and the GAIS showed gradual improvement since 30 days after treatment. Subjects evaluated GAIS as improved results 90.90% at both day 30 and 90. The subjects rated their satisfaction in each follow-up visit. The highest incidence of side effects was edema occurred in ten cases. Bruising were taken place in one case and numbness can be observed in five cases Conclusion: HIFU facial lifting procedure with super-density treatment had the appreciable efficacy at 90 days after single treatment. Besides they were safe and well tolerated, with no significant difference of subject satisfactions and safety profiles.
