20 Years to 65 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age >= 20 years old and <= 65 years old, with no restrictions on gender; 2. Facial and neck skin laxity with a need for improvement, skin laxity that can be determined by the researcher to be improved by non-invasive intervention, and not meeting the criteria for surgical intervention; 3. Fitzpatrick skin type classification II~? on the face; 4. The subject can understand the purpose of the study, show sufficient compliance with the study protocol, and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of scars, hair (i.e., beard, sideburns, etc.), tattoos (excluding eyebrow tattoos), or significant facial/neck asymmetry in the treatment area, which the researcher judges may affect the evaluation of effectiveness; 2. Presence of any open wounds, active skin diseases, inflammation, or infections (e.g., herpes, acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, shingles, mycosis, etc.) in the treatment area; 3. History of keloid formation or keloid-prone constitution; 4. Comorbid collagen connective tissue disease; 5. Comorbid severe diseases such as malignant tumors, severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver/kidney dysfunction, diabetes, etc., which the researcher judges as unsuitable for enrollment; 6. Presence of cancer or precancerous lesions in the treatment area, or prior local radiotherapy; 7. Presence of unknown fillers or any metal implants (excluding dental implants) under the treatment area; 8. History of active implant placement; 9. Previous full-face surgical treatment, such as fat grafting, facial lifting (thread embedding), silicone implantation, etc.; 10. Oral surgery (e.g., orthodontics, tooth extraction, dental implantation) within 3 months before screening, which the researcher judges may affect effectiveness evaluation, or planned dental surgery or plastic surgery affecting facial morphology during the trial; 11. History of skin anti-wrinkle treatment (e.g., botulinum toxin) in the treatment area within 9 months before screening; 12. History of monopolar radiofrequency or focused ultrasound treatment in the treatment area within 12 months before screening; history of short-acting hyaluronic acid treatment within 6 months before screening, or medium/long-acting hyaluronic acid filling treatment within 24 months before screening; history of water-light treatment within 6 months before screening; history of facial filling treatment with poly-L-lactic acid or polycaprolactone (PCL) within 24 months before screening; or history of facial filling treatment with hydroxyapatite within 24 months before screening; 13. History of bipolar or multipolar radiofrequency device treatment (including home-use radiofrequency therapy devices) within 6 months before screening, or ablative laser treatment; or history of other photoelectric treatments such as facial photorejuvenation within 3 months before screening; 14. Chemical peeling treatment within 6 months before screening or planned during the trial; 15. Use of topical tretinoin or isotretinoin within 1 month before screening or planned during the trial; or oral tretinoin or isotretinoin treatment within 3 months before screening or planned during the trial; 16. History of facial nerve palsy; 17. Severe solar elastosis; 18. Severe coagulation dysfunction (PT or APTT >= 2 times the upper limit of normal value); 19. Planned lifestyle changes or other interventions that may significantly affect body weight during the trial; 20. Pregnant or lactating women; 21. Participation in drug clinical trials within 3 months before screening or ongoing participation; or participation in other medical device clinical trials within 1 month before screening or ongoing participation; 22. Other conditions judged by the researcher as unsuitable for participation in this clinical trial, such as poor compliance or perceptual impairment.
