Abstract



Background


Nonablative skin tightening technologies offer the prospect of reduction of wrinkles and skin sagging with minimal downtime, discomfort, and risk of adverse events. The excellent safety profile is mitigated by the limited efficacy of such procedures.



Objective


We sought to assess the efficacy of ultrasound skin tightening for brow-lift in the context of a procedure treating the full face and neck.
