| Abstrakt: | Focused ultrasound (FUS) is emerging as one of the most promising, non-invasive treatment techniques. The advancement of transducer technology has paved the way for dermatological applications. A comprehensive review is presented for healthcare practitioners and researchers, summarizing the effect of various operational parameters on the injury zone produced by ultrasound beams for various dermatological applications, which include skin tightening, fat reduction, hyperpigmentation and cancer treatment. In this article, we aim to highlight the efficient operational parameters of FUS to enhance pain relief during surgery and its affordability for skin treatment. Finally, a prospective future technique for efficient FUS is discussed. Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest The authors declare no competing interests.
