THE STATE OF AESTHETIC DERMATOLOGY
Updates in noninvasive and minimally invasive skin tightening
Dec

Vol. 33. No. 4
The demand for noninvasive and minimally invasive
skin-tightening procedures is rising within the aesthetic
world. Although these treatments will not replace surgery,
a growing patient population is seeking results through
low-risk procedures with associated minimal downtime.
The technology within this realm is changing due to an
increased ability to safely deliver energy to deeper tissue
planes. Within the last year alone, research has led to
the introduction of a subdermal radiofrequency device,
advancements in minimally invasive lasers, and the use
of microfocused ultrasound targeting the facial tissue.
Through research studies, protocols are being optimized
and clinical results are becoming more reliable.
