Noninvasive body contouring by dermal fillers, radiofrequency, and focused ultrasound: A review

Abstract

There has been a current trend in aesthetic medicine for patients to seek procedures with minimal downtime. To meet this demand, in the past few years, there have been several new energy-based devices in the market to treat unwanted fat noninvasively. Noninvasive body contouring involves almost no epidermal damage and minimal downtime. This review will focus on the use of dermal fillers to improve skin texture abnormalities, radiofrequency, and ultrasound devices for body contouring. Cryolipolysis, a popular body contouring technology, will be addressed in a separate paper by the authors due to a large amount of data on this topic.
