Summary: This study systematically reviewed the efficacy of microfocused ultrasound (MFU) for facial skin tightening. The results showed that MFU treatment is effective in improving skin tightening, particularly for female patients. However, it is important to note that MFU treatment may cause adverse effects such as pain, erythema, and local burns. Future studies should focus on objective treatment outcomes and the effectiveness of MFU treatment in male patients.
