摘要
The Ulthera system is a facial application of intense focused ultrasound developed for improving noninvasive rejuvenation results. This article describes the Ulthera device, its mechanism of action, the indications and limitations of the device, and the details of treatment. We also review the literature and our personal results, discuss future trends, and conclude with advice for the early user.
