High-intensity focused ultrasound) treatment is primarily used to tighten and firm the skin and scars but research suggests it may also be beneficial in reducing acne. One study found that micro-focused ultrasound with visualization treatment can induce cell damage and volume reduction in the treated area, which may help reduce acne.

The treatment works by delivering noninvasive focused ultrasound energy that causes zones of micro coagulation from the deep dermis to the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). This process tightens the skin by contracting and remodeling collagen¹.

While micro-focused ultrasound with visualization is not a traditional acne treatment, it can be used in conjunction with other treatments to help reduce acne and improve skin texture. However, it is essential to consult with a dermatologist or skin care professional to determine the best treatment for your individual skin concerns.
