With age, the body loses collagen, elastic fibers break, the SMAS fascia layer loosens, and the superficial fat compartments in the middle and lower face move downward, leading to facial relaxation, which is manifested as aging characteristics such as deepening of nasolabial folds, corner pouches, and facial wrinkles.

Different treatment methods have different suitable populations and recovery periods. Photoacoustic electrotherapy technology based on laser, radio frequency and ultrasound has the following advantages:

1. Accurately stimulate collagen regeneration, with a lifting and tightening effect;

2. Non-invasive or invasive damage is small, pain is mild, and the recovery period is short;

3. Layered treatment (epidermis, dermis, fascia layer) according to the degree of relaxation.

IMPROVEMENT

Principle of photoacoustic electrotherapy to improve relaxation

Stimulate collagen regeneration: Photoacoustic electrotherapy technology forms thermal stimulation in the dermis, subcutaneous layer and fascia layer, starts damage repair, and promotes collagen regeneration.

Tighten fat intervals/mild lipolysis: Photoacoustic electrotherapy technology tightens fat intervals and improves facial fat accumulation.

Improve skin pigment and blood vessels: thermal stimulation accelerates melanin metabolism, reduces capillary dilation, and improves skin photoaging symptoms.

TREATMENT PLAN

Photoacoustic and electrical therapy plan

Principle: Focusing ultrasound energy on the subcutaneous fat layer and dermis to form a thermal coagulation point, slightly dissolving fat and stimulating collagen reorganization, improving the relaxation caused by the downward movement of the superficial fat chamber.

Applicable population: mild to moderate relaxation with facial fat accumulation.

Precautions: Short-term redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness at the jawline may occur after surgery.

2. Monopolar radiofrequency (Thermage)

Principle: Non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency heats the dermis and fat fiber intervals, stimulates collagen regeneration, and improves skin fine lines and texture.

Applicable population: People with mild to moderate skin elasticity loss and superficial fat chamber displacement.

Precautions: People with skin infection or metal implants should not be treated.

3. Long pulse width 1064nm laser (UP bang bomb light)

Principle:1064nm laser stimulates deep collagen regeneration, while long pulse width 1064nm can promote melanin metabolism and blood vessel closure, achieving whitening and photoaging improvement.

Applicable people: People with mild to moderate skin and subcutaneous sagging who need to comprehensively improve facial fine lines, pigmentation and inflammation.

Precautions: Multiple treatments are required.

4. Invasive fractional microneedle radio frequency (gold microneedle)

Principle: Microneedles penetrate to a specific depth, combined with radio frequency energy to stimulate the production of collagen in the dermis, promote fat remodeling, and improve sagging and wrinkles.

Applicable people: People with rough skin and mild sagging.

Precautions: There will be wounds on the skin after surgery, so infection prevention is required, and there will be a recovery period of erythema and edema.
