First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether microfocused ultrasound can tighten aging facial skin. Thirty adults aged 25 to 60 with sagging skin and wrinkles received the treatment. Researchers used 3D imaging to measure changes in nasolabial folds, cheek volume, and brow height over 180 days. The goal was to see if the procedure is safe and effective for facial rejuvenation.
