| Popis: | Previous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) for treating chest wrinkles; however, those studies followed subjects for only 180 days. The objective of the following study was to assess the long-term effects of MFU-V for the treating chest wrinkles. Each subject was treated with 4-4.5 mm, 7-3.0 mm, and 10-1.5 mm transducers. Subjects were subsequently evaluated on post-treatment days 6, 12, 180, and 360. Digital images were obtained of the deacute;colleteacute; area of each subject prior to treatment and at each follow-up evaluation. Wrinkle severity was assessed using the validated Merz Deacute;colletage Wrinkle Scales at each follow-up visit and Subject Satisfaction Questionnaires were completed on post-treatment days 180 and 360. Enrolled subjects (N=20) were female with a mean (SD) age of 54.9 (7.5) years (range, 44 to 71 years). The study was completed by 15 subjects. Subjects achieved a significant decrease in dynamic wrinkle scores over time (Plt;0.01). Baseline scores were significantly decreased at day 90 (Ple;0.01) which remained significant at days 180 and 360 (for each, Plt;0.01). Subjects also showed significantly decreased at-rest wrinkle scores over time (Ple;0.01). Baseline scores were significantly decreased at day 90 (Ple;0.01), which remained significant at days 180 and 360 (for each, P=0.01). Mean (SD) subject satisfaction scores increased from 2.9 (1.8) on day 180 to 3.9 (1.8) on day 360.J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(11):1026-1029. doi:10.36849/JDD.2020.5265. |
