Brief Summary:

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of microwave-assisted heating technology in facial fat reduction and skin tightening in Asians. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How effective is the microwave-based system in reducing fat and tightening Skin? 2. What objective methods can be used to measure treatment outcomes? 3. What are the optimal treatment parameters for maximum efficacy? 4. What are the safety and side effects associated with the treatment? 5. How long-lasting are the results? Participants will go through three treatment sessions using the "DEKA" ONDA Microwave treatment system, with each session lasting 12 minutes.

Detailed Description:

As people age, facial skin sagging and submental fat accumulation have become concerns for many, not only affecting their appearance but also negatively impacting their self-confidence. With the continuous advancement of modern medical aesthetic technology, noninvasive treatments like microwave-assisted heating technology have provided new solutions for addressing these issues. The microwave-assisted heating technology works by precisely heating subcutaneous fat tissue with high-frequency energy, inducing fat cell apoptosis while simultaneously stimulating collagen production in the skin, thereby achieving fat reduction and skin tightening. Compared to traditional surgical methods, this technique offers the advantages of being non-invasive, having a short recovery period, and carrying lower risks. To further investigate these effects, we plan to conduct a prospective, open-label clinical trial. The treatment will focus on enhancing the mid and lower facial area, while carefully managing the treatment time and monitoring patient comfort.
