Abstract

Systems and methods for noninvasive tissue tightening are disclosed. Thermal treatment of tissues such as superficial muscular aponeurosis system (SMAS) tissue, muscle, adipose tissue, dermal tissue, and combinations thereof are described. In one aspect, a system is configured for treating tissue through delivery of ultrasound energy at a depth, distribution, temperature, and energy level to achieve a desired cosmetic effect.

Claims (4)

1 . A method of treating the skin, comprising:

emitting ultrasound energy from a transducer element housed within the ultrasound probe to said region of interest comprising said region of interest at a depth to facilitate a tightening of the skin surface; and

moving a motion mechanism for controllably creating a plurality of thermal lesions along a line,

wherein the motion mechanism is controlled by a control system in communication with the ultrasound probe.
