Energy-based noninvasive surgical tools can be used for ablative bio-stimulation (eg, collagen production) or tissue restructuring functions (eg, tightening or lifting) and are the subject of this review. The authors present the various methods and tools for noninvasive cosmetic surgery (ultrasound, radiofrequency, cryolipolysis, and lasers) and present the clinical outcomes of each. They summarize techniques and methods and their indications, physical parameters and tissue target, and consistency.
