Methods and systems for treating stretch marks through deep tissue tightening with ultrasound are provided. An exemplary method and system comprise a therapeutic ultrasound system configured for providing ultrasound treatment to a shallow tissue region, such as a region comprising an epidermis, a dermis and a deep dermis. In accordance with various exemplary embodiments, a therapeutic ultrasound system can be configured to achieve depth from 0 mm to 1 cm with a conformal selective deposition of ultrasound energy without damaging an intervening tissue in the range of frequencies from 2 to 50 MHz. In addition, a therapeutic ultrasound can also be configured in combination with ultrasound imaging or imaging/monitoring capabilities, either separately configured with imaging, therapy and monitoring systems or any level of integration thereof.
An ultrasound system configured for treating stretch marks comprising:
The ultrasound system of claim 4, wherein said spatial control comprises selection of one or more spatial parameters comprising transducer configuration, distance, placement, orientation, and movement.
The ultrasound system of claim 4, wherein said temporal control comprises selection of one or more temporal parameters comprising drive amplitude levels, frequency/waveforms, and timing sequences.
