Ultherapy (SMAS-Lifting)

Ultherapy is non-invasive lifting procedure that lifts and tightens the skin of face, neck and décolletage – without rehabilitation and restrictions.

With age, under the influence of gravity and the natural aging process (sometimes as a result of rapid weight loss), tissues lose their elasticity, skin and muscles stretch, and the oval of the face loses its clarity. After a certain age,  simple skin tightening is no longer enough to return the face to its youthful shape.SMAS-facelift involves deep tissue lifting at the level of the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, which means not only skin, but muscles as well. Deep SMAS-lifting of tissues includes lifting of the skin, subcutaneous fat, facial muscles, fascia, collagen and elastin fibers. Ultherapy creates a pronounced and long-term rejuvenation effect.

Ultrasound waves penetrate to a depth of 5 mm, causing punctate thermal contraction and tissue compaction. As a result, a kind of internal frame is formed, which tightens the tissues and holds them in this position for a long time.The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, which allows the doctor to accurately determine the depth and intensity of the ultrasound exposure.

The procedure, as a rule, lasts from 0.5-1.5 hours, depending on the complexity of the correction, it is absolutely painless and does not cause any side effects, there is no recovery period. It is important to note that the SMAS lifting can be performed in the summer, even on tanned skin.

Ultrasound SMAS-lifting Ultherapy perfectly combines any injection and laser procedures as rejuvenation, peeling, resurfacing, botulinum therapy, contour plastics.
