  INTRODUCTION
  Facial aging involves progressive structural changes in the skin, fat compartments, SMAS, and bone framework, culminating in skin laxity, loss of contour definition, and tissue ptosis. Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) promotes precise thermal deposition in specific tissue planes, inducing immediate collagen contraction and subsequent neocollagenesis, with epidermal preservation. Despite its widespread clinical use, standardized and device-specific protocols are still limited, impacting the reproducibility and predictability of results.
