Observation on the application effect of focused ultrasound technology in facial anti-aging aesthetics
Objective:To explore the application effect of focused ultrasound technology in facial anti-aging aesthetics.Methods:This study included 30 beauty seekers who visited Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to September 2023.All participants received facial aesthetic treatments using focused ultrasound technology.The facial laxity rating(FLR)scale and global aesthetic improvement scale(GAIS)were used to evaluate the aesthetic outcomes.The FACE-Q scale was used to assess the appearance satisfaction,psychological status,and social function of the beauty seekers before and three months after the treatment.Adverse reactions were also observed.Results:The FLR scores of the beauty seekers were high before the treatment,but significantly decreased immediately after and remained significantly lower at one month and three months post-treatment(P<0.01).The differences in FLR scores between immediately after the treatment,one month,and three months were not significant(P>0.05).GAIS evaluation at three months after the treatment showed that 15 cases(50.00%)were rated as grade 1,10 cases(33.33%)as grade 2,and 5 cases(16.67%)as grade 3.Before the treatment,the appearance satisfaction,psychological status,and social function scores of the beauty seekers were relatively low according to the FACE-Q scale.However,at three months post-treatment,all three scores significantly improved compared to before the treatment(P<0.01).One case of erythema and one case of swelling and pain occurred postoperatively,resulting in a total of 2 adverse reactions(6.67%).Conclusion:Focused ultrasound technology has shown good application effects in facial anti-aging aesthetics with minimal adverse reactions.It significantly improves the aesthetics,reduces psychological inferiority,enhances self-confidence and social skills,and significantly improves the quality of life of beauty seekers.Therefore,it is worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.
