Brief Summary

A Prospective, Single-center, Single-blind, Randomized split-face, controlled trial will be conducted. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and satisfaction of ultrasound therapy combined with SkinCeuticals A.G.E in improving facial aging, and to explore the medical value of ultrasound therapy combined with SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Participants will be treated with ultrasound combined with SkinCeuticals A.G.E on one randomized side face and ultrasound combined with standard cream on the other side.
