Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and monopolar radiofrequency (MRF) are common treatment modalities that have shown significant results in skin tightening. Nevertheless, the novel combination of these two treatments is new to the Malaysian landscape. Thus, this study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of this novel combination treatment for the Malaysian population.
UNASSIGNED: This retrospective study included data on HIFU and MRF combination therapy for skin tightening collected from an aesthetic clinic in Johor Bahru, Malaysia from June 2018 to May 2021. Efficacy was assessed using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and Glogau classification, while the safety of the treatment was analysed using pain scores and adverse events (AEs).
UNASSIGNED: A total of 56 patients with a mean age of 47.7 years old (SD 10.00) were included in this study. The majority of the patients had Fitzpatrick skin types III and IV. Most of the patients were Chinese, followed by Malay, Indian and others. Most patients (96.4%) showed clinically significant improvement in skin tightening after treatment, with 15 patients scoring 1 (very much improved) and 39 scoring 2 (improved). All patients reported transient mild erythema, with no serious AEs, such as burn, swelling, numbness or muscle weakness. Among the patients, 80% reported a pain score of 5, while 10% reported pain scores of 4 and 6.
UNASSIGNED: Combining HIFU with MRF therapy improved GAIS scores by 96.4%, indicating a secure and efficient skin-tightening method. Transient erythema was shown to be the most common side effect of this combination.

摘要：
■高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）和单极射频（MRF）是常见的治疗方式，在皮肤收紧方面已显示出显着效果。然而，这两种治疗方法的新颖组合对马来西亚景观来说是新的。因此，本研究旨在探讨这种新型联合治疗对马来西亚人群的安全性和有效性.
■这项回顾性研究包括从柔佛州一家美容诊所收集的HIFU和MRF联合治疗皮肤紧致的数据，马来西亚从2018年6月到2021年5月。使用全球美学改善量表（GAIS）和Glogau分类评估疗效，同时使用疼痛评分和不良事件（AE）分析治疗的安全性。
■本研究共纳入56例患者，平均年龄47.7岁（SD10.00）。大多数患者患有FitzpatrickIII型和IV型皮肤。大多数病人是中国人,其次是马来人,印度人和其他人。大多数患者(96.4%)在治疗后皮肤收紧方面表现出临床上显著的改善,15例患者得分为1（改善很多），39例患者得分为2（改善）。所有患者报告短暂轻度红斑，没有严重的AE，比如烧伤，肿胀,麻木或肌肉无力。在患者中,80%报告疼痛评分为5,而10%报告疼痛评分为4和6。
■将HIFU与MRF治疗相结合，将GAIS评分提高了96.4%，表明安全和有效的皮肤收紧方法。短暂性红斑被证明是这种组合的最常见的副作用。
