About this study
This single-center pilot study evaluated whether one treatment session combining superficial microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V, Ultherapy, 1.5 mm transducer) and diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA, Radiesse, diluted 1:1 with saline and injected in the subdermal plane with a cannula) improves lower face skin quality and fine wrinkles in women aged 35 to 60 years.
Participants received a single combined treatment and were followed for 24 weeks, with assessments at baseline and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after treatment. Skin surface texture and wrinkle dimensions were measured with the Quantificare LifeViz Micro 3D imaging system. Secondary assessments included wrinkle grading on the Modified Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale, visual aesthetic improvement, participant satisfaction, and treatment-related adverse events.
Read the detailed description
Aging, genetics and environmental factors contribute to multiple changes on the surface of the skin. These present with pigmentation, volume loss, loss of elasticity and loss of collagen. Altogether, areas of the face becomes "crepey", with resulting rhytids and an obvious appearance of thin and fragile skin. These are typically dermal manifestations of elastin and collagen loss resulting in a collective term of loss of "skin quality".
Current treatments to improve these changes involve the use of skincare, chemical peels, as well as more invasive repeated treatments such as microneedling and laser resurfacing. These commonly require repeated treatments and several days of downtime. More recently, treatment with a hybrid preparation of high and low-molecular weight complexes that are thermally cross-linked (Profhilo) has been suggested to stimulate collagen and elastin formation, thereby resulting in improvement in skin quality However, the evidence for this remains limited. Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualization (MFU-V) and Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) have each been unequivocally proven to stimulate neocollagenesis and elastogenesis, leading to improvement in skin laxity. A recent study of a single-treatment single-depth of superficial MFU-V was found to result in aesthetic improvement of the accordion lines. In addition, there is recent evidence that CaHA in a hyperdiluted form can stimulate collagen and elastin formation. Indeed, this group of investigators has recently published the effectiveness of a single treatment of a combination MFU-V and diluted CaHA for improving brachial skin laxity. Arguably, there is a need to publish additional studies on these interventions for improving firmness and skin quality. In addition, there may be a theoretical cumulative benefit in using both treatments for improving skin quality, although the effectiveness of this combination has not been demonstrated.
With this background, the main rationale of performing this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a multimodality approach with a single treatment of superficial MFU-V and diluted CaHA for improvement of skin quality in Asian and Caucasian patients. The investigators selected Lower Face as the target area for the following reasons: 1) The Lower Face manifests the greatest with thinning, fine wrinkling and general fragility of the skin, 2) Volumization is not always aesthetically pleasing in this area but firmness of the skin is, 3) This area is an established treatment area for MFU-V, CaHA but not with other treatment options such as Profhilo.

Ulthera System [Ulthera, Inc.]Device
The Ulthera System is indicated for: - Use for noninvasive dermatological sculpting and lifting of the dermis: Upper Face, Lower Face, Neck, Décolletage.
- Non-invasive treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis
Merz Radiesse Injectable ImplantDevice
Radiesse injectable implant is an opaque, sterile, non-pyrogenic, semi-solid, cohesive implant. The principal component is synthetic CaHA (particle size 25-45 microns) suspended in a gel carrier of sterile water for injection, glycerin and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. In this study, one 1.5 mL syringe of Radiesse was diluted 1:1 with saline (3.0 mL total, 1.5 mL per side) and injected in the subdermal plane of the lower face with a cannula using a retrograde fanning technique, immediately after or up to one week after MFU-V.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ultherapy and Radiesse | Experimental | Delivered to the lower face areas as drawn using a single transducer with a focal depth of 1.5mm (following a previously published paper (Lowe, 2021) but with extension of the lower treatment area to the two-ruler width (Ulthera marking ruler) as treatment zones. Application will be delivered through a cross-hatching technique.
Immediately following MFU-V or up to a week after, diluted CaHA will be administered following the Global Consensus Guidelines published in 2018 by de Almeida et al as follows 1) 1 syringe or 1.5ml of CaHA diluted 1:1 with saline for a total of 3ml of solution or 1.5 diluted CaHA per side will be injected in the subdermal plane with a cannula using a retrograde fanning technique.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This single-center pilot study evaluated whether one treatment session combining superficial microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V, Ultherapy, 1.5 mm transducer) and diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA, Radiesse, diluted 1:1 with saline and injected in the subdermal plane with a cannula) improves lower face skin quality and fine wrinkles in women aged 35 to 60 years.
Participants received a single combined treatment and were followed for 24 weeks, with assessments at baseline and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after treatment. Skin surface texture and wrinkle dimensions were measured with the Quantificare LifeViz Micro 3D imaging system. Secondary assessments included wrinkle grading on the Modified Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale, visual aesthetic improvement, participant satisfaction, and treatment-related adverse events.
