METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NONINVASIVE FACE LIFTS AND DEEP TISSUE TIGHTENING
First Claim
1. An ultrasound treatment system configured for noninvasive face lifts and deep tissue tightening, said ultrasound treatment system comprising:
- a control system for facilitating control of the ultrasound treatment system;
a display system for displaying an image of a SMAS layer within a region of interest, said display system coupled to said control system; and
a probe system configured for targeted delivery of ultrasound energy into said SMAS layer for destruction of tissue and to cause shrinkage of said SMAS layer by generating a conformal lesion with said SMAS.

Abstract
A method and system for noninvasive face lifts and deep tissue tightening are disclosed. An exemplary method and treatment system are configured for the imaging, monitoring, and thermal injury to treat the SMAS region. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the exemplary method and system are configured for treating the SMAS region by first, imaging of the region of interest for localization of the treatment area and surrounding structures, second, delivery of ultrasound energy at a depth, distribution, timing, and energy level to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, and third to monitor the treatment area before, during, and after therapy to plan and assess the results and/or provide feedback.
