“…First, the subjective scoring method, which can be interpreted differently among patients, presents a non‐anonymous platform, which can affect the outcome owing to a biased result. To date, there is no anonymous validating subjective scoring for the treatment of face and neck laxity, in contrast to the objective scoring that uses the IBSA Photographic Scale to assess neck laxity 18 …”

“…To date, there is no anonymous validating subjective scoring for the treatment of face and neck laxity, in contrast to the objective scoring that uses the IBSA Photographic Scale to assess neck laxity. 18 Data on subjective scoring systems for patients with face and neck laxity that have been treated with MFU-V have been well established and validated, such as PSQ, SGAIS, the three-point scoring system, and self-developed scoring. However, all of the aforementioned scoring systems encompass non-anonymous data, which can influence patients and render their subjective results liable to physician bias.…”

BackgroundMicrofocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU‐V) delivers focused ultrasound energy to heat tissue and has emerged as a fast and effective noninvasive method for treating skin laxity. After obtaining approval in 2009 by the Food and Drug Administration, satisfactory feedback was recorded using several scoring systems for MFU‐V treatment for facial and neck laxity.AimTo evaluate the efficacy and satisfaction rates of MFU‐V for facial and neck laxity treatment by providing a basis for developing a validated scoring system for MFU‐V treatment.MethodA constrictive survey was carried out by selecting relevant publications on MFU‐V treatment of facial and neck laxity using PubMed, Medline, and Embase electronic databases from January 2017 to March 2022.ResultsOf the 11 original articles used in this review, the majority of the scoring methods used were the subjective global aesthetic improvement scale and the 5‐point scale rating global aesthetic improvement in appearance. Around half of the patients were described as much improved or very much improved on days 30 and 90, while most returned to baseline on Day 360. Most of the adverse events reported were mild bruising, redness, and pain. None of the patients reported serious adverse events. A burn occurred in one case because of improper application of the probe.ConclusionThe MFU‐V provides excellent and promising responses for treating facial and neck laxity. A few mild events were observed, such as erythema, pain, edema, and injection‐site induration, all of which resolved within approximately 2–3 days.

The number of aesthetic procedures performed worldwide continues to grow together with an increase in the population seeking the restoration or preservation of a youthful appearance. Requests for non-surgical body rejuvenation are increasing. Patients are looking for safe and effective minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. Soft-tissue dermal fillers can meet these expectations. Based on the beneficial outcomes of these treatments in many facial areas, a new trend is developing to target body areas. Different dermal fillers are available and include collagen stimulators initially developed to restore facial volume. Furthermore, they are associated with long-lasting efficiency, a high level of patient satisfaction and a good safety profile, with mainly minor adverse events reported. In appropriate conditions of use, they are now used for body rejuvenation in clinical practice. Their use is expanding and allows addressing various issues including volume loss, skin laxity, cellulite, striae distensae and wrinkles. This review focuses on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), used in the first collagen stimulator and one of the most investigated in facial and in off-facial body applications. The available published data, although still limited, are presented by body area, neck and chest, buttocks, abdomen, upper arms, thighs, knees, and hands. Key features of the concerned zones and the main clinical signs affecting the body part as well as the injection modalities are provided along with the aesthetic results. This represents the state of the art on which to base further developments necessary for optimal and safe outcomes of treatment with the PLLA-based collagen stimulators and others in this class for body rejuvenation.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a well-characterized formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA), Profhilo®, in the treatment of roughness and laxity of the neck skin. The study was performed on 25 subjects ranging in age from 40 to 65 years. Two injections of the studied product at 30-day intervals were performed, with evaluations conducted 1 and 4 months after the first injection. The efficacy was determined by clinical and multilevel instrumental evaluations. In addition, at the end of the study, the subjects completed a questionnaire related to the efficacy and tolerability of the product. The studied product was shown to induce a clear and statistically significant improvement in the skin of the neck in all the subjects, with concordant results between the clinical, instrumental, and subjects’ evaluations. The positive effects, present after the first injection, were further increased in the second and last evaluation. Notably, the product was reported to have a very high tolerability by both clinicians and subjects. In conclusion, two injections of the studied product safely induced skin amelioration in subjects with mild to moderate neck skin roughness and laxity.
