Customizing Microfocused Ultrasound With Visualization Treatment for Facial Lifting in Asian Men: Experience and Practical Insights From Korea.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGlobally, there has been a notable increase in interest and demand for aesthetic treatments among men in recent years. Given the rising trend, it is important to recognize and understand the distinctions in facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences between genders and different ethnicities. When designing treatment for male patients, these differences should be taken into consideration. Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) is recognized as the current gold standard for skin lifting and tightening. It is the only focused ultrasound device that allows real-time visualization of the treatment areas, thereby offering personalized and precise delivery of ultrasound energy to target tissue layers. Although guidelines for optimizing MFU-V treatment have been developed, there is currently no specific guidance for its application in men.
aimsTo provide practical insights for customizing MFU-V treatments tailored to the unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals of Asian men.
methodsBased on the guiding principles in available consensus guidelines and our experience in treating Korean men of different ages presenting with varying concerns, we propose an MFU-V treatment protocol for facial lifting that takes into account specific facial anatomy characteristics and aesthetic needs of Asian male patients to achieve optimal clinical outcomes.
resultsRelevant examples of the expected outcomes 3 months after applying the protocol are presented.
conclusionsIn our experience, applying this treatment protocol produces excellent skin-lifting effects, resulting in desired outcomes such as a more defined jawline, improvement in double chin appearance, and slimmer facial appearance.
