Focused Ultrasound

What is Focused Ultrasound?

Focused Ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment that targets the deeper layers of the face to achieve a lifting and tightening effect across the jowls, chin and lower face. The ultrasound waves are focused onto the SMAS (the gravitational fibro-muscular layer that supports the lower face called the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) to tighten and contract it through thermal coagulation.

The ultrasound then moves through the layers of the skin from deep to superficial delivering intense thermal energy that is used to regenerate the skin’s collagen and elastin. Focused Ultrasound is particularly effective for tightening the lower face and reducing sagging in the skin.

How It Works:

Ultrasound Energy: It uses focused ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin at specific depths to create heat energy.This energy heats and contracts the tissues, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin regenerating and tightening the skin.

Deep Skin Tightening: Focused ultrasound treatment selectively targets the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), which is the same layer tightened during surgical facelifts. The energy hits the SMAS, creates tightening and contraction of the SMAS resulting in a natural lifting and firming of the skin.

Benefits of Focused Ultrasound:

Non-Surgical Facelift: Provides a lifting effect without the need for surgery.Ideal for lower face jowling and sagging.

Long-Lasting Results: The results continue to improve over several months as new collagen is producedover time.

No Downtime: Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Natural Results: Enhances the skin’s natural collagen production for a subtle, natural-looking lift.
