Practical Guidance for Optimizing Patient Comfort During Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualization and Improving Patient Satisfaction.

Background: Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V; Ultherapy®) is an effective method for correction of skin laxity through lifting and tightening skin on the face, neck, and décolleté as well as on other parts of the body such as the knees, arms, and abdomen. In addition to being a noninvasive modality for tissue tightening, MFU-V has a biological effect on tissue, rejuvenating the skin through stimulation of elastogenesis and neocollagenesis. MFU-V is also commonly combined with other interventions such as fillers, neuromodulators, and absorbable suspension sutures.
