Method and system for ultrasound tissue treatment

摘要

A method and system (100) for non invasive tissue treatment are disclosed. An exemplary method and treatment system are configured for the imaging, monitoring, and thermal injury to treat tissue regions (106), such as, for example, the SMAS region, photo aged tissue, acne and sebaceous glands, and/or sweat glands. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the exemplary method and system are configured for treating the tissue region by first, imaging of the region of interest for localization of the treatment area and surrounding structures, second, delivery of ultrasound energy at a depth, distribution, timing, and energy level to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, and third to monitor the treatment area before, during, and after therapy to plan and assess the results and/or provide feedback.
