The treatment utilized a standardized dual\u2010step protocol: manual precision injection targeting the deep dermis, followed by mechanical mesogun injection for uniform superficial coverage. SLEB width and dermal thickness were measured at four facial sites using HFUS before and 1 month after treatment. A skin analyzer assessed skin parameters. A comprehensive clinical evaluation was conducted using the Glogau classification and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) for efficacy and patient satisfaction assessment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Post\u2010treatment, HFUS revealed significant reductions in SLEB width (average decrease 29%\u201347%, all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and increases in dermal thickness (average increase 24%\u201351%, all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009\u2264\u20090.003).
