TRATAMENTO DE GORDURA INFRAORBITAL COM ULTRASSOM MICROFOCADO

Aging is a physiological process determined by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, being a normal and inevitable process. The periorbital region is one of the first to show signs. This aging in the periorbital region is manifested by several anatomical changes that result in dark circles, wrinkles and sagging skin. These changes are influenced by factors such as the loss of adipose tissue volume and reduced collagen production, in addition to the projection of orbital fat and reduced skin elasticity. Given the significant aesthetic impact of these changes, effective treatment of dark circles has become a priority in aesthetic procedures. This study aimed to present and describe a treatment technique and its results in infraorbital pockets, using the non-invasive method of microfocused ultrasound. Through a case report involving a 50-year-old male patient with complaints of persistent dark circles, a treatment protocol was carried out with microfocused ultrasound using 60 shots per infraorbital region in two sessions, with an interval of 3 months. The evaluation of the results included photographic documentation and facial scanning, which showed a significant improvement in skin firmness and a reduction in infraorbital bags. The work concludes that microfocused ultrasound proved to be effective in treating localized fat and repositioning tissues in the dark circles region, promoting facial rejuvenation and representing a less invasive alternative to blepharoplasty. Results may vary depending on age, skin condition and technique used, in which case additional sessions may be necessary.
