Case report: Traumatic carotid artery dissection after 7D High-Intensity Macro- and Micro-Focused Ultrasound treatment for skin laxity of the neck.
Abstract
Trauma is a relatively uncommon etiology of carotid artery dissection. Trauma is both penetrative and trivial, which can lead to carotid artery dissection. In the current study, we present an unusual case in which carotid artery dissection was potentially triggered by the damaging thermal effect of 7D High-Intensity Macro- and Micro-Focused Ultrasound (7D HIFU), which has been proposed as a safe and effective non-surgical modality for skin rejuvenation.
