Ultrasound Skin Tightening
Face Lift Without Surgery
Recognized as the best non-invasive face lifting treatment, this procedure uses focused ultrasound technology to stimulate the production of collagen and tighten skin tissue. This treatment provides a natural tightening effect with particularly effective results for the contour of the face, eyebrows, neck and décolleté.
How It Works
During the treatment, ultrasound is delivered through a handheld device and is concentrated at different subcutaneous depths depending on where the client would need it most, reaching subcutaneous depths of 1.5 mm, 3 mm or 4.5 mm (same depths that are targeted during a surgical procedure).
During this process, tissue regeneration is provoked via a multitude of tiny attachment points are generated in the structure that supports the face (under the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis).
Since this is a non-invasive treatment that does not require the use of scalpels or needles, the surface layer of the skin remains intact, and the smoothing effect is gradual and natural. This treatment is best for individuals who desire a noticeable, progressive tightening effect, naturally.
Targetable Areas
The treatment can be performed over the entire face, neck and décolleté.
These regions respond best to ultrasound therapy as they are prone to loss of structure and tone. Depending on your needs, it is possible to treat the entire face, or just a specific region such as the brow region (to give eyebrows a natural lift and smooth fine lines), jawline (for chin and jaw definition) as well as the entire upper or lower face.
What to Expect
After your treatment, your neck and décolleté will be visibly smoothed and firmed, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months, as your body naturally regenerates collagen. Multiple scientific studies show that not only does this treatment strengthen subcutaneous anchor points, but it also thickens the skin (in the areas treated) therefore reversing the natural thinning of the epidermis associated with aging.
It is to be noted that results may vary per person, and the existing condition and age of the skin will affect how it reacts to this procedure.
Cost of treatment
Prices vary according to the areas treated and number of sessions required. Every treatment plan is unique & tailored to your needs to help you achieve your best self. During our free and no-commitment consultation, our specialists are here to listen and give you all the information you need to make knowledgeable choices.
Pre-Lifting Preparation
Preparing for your lifting treatment requires minimal effort. You can maintain your regular diet and exercise prior to the procedure. Your technician will remove any makeup and other skin care products from the areas to be treated.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out necessary paperwork.
Post-Lifting Care
There is no downtime following a ultrasound lifting treatment. That being said, you can immediately resume a regular diet, exercise, work, and socializing activities. In certain cases, the treated skin areas can sometimes become flushed or red in the hours after the procedure, and short-term sensations including tingling, swelling, and tenderness or redness may occur. In those cases, we recommend applying a cold compress.
Maintenance
We recommend a treatment plan consisting of three sessions for optimal results. After the treatment plan is completed, results will last a minimum of two years, if a healthy lifestyle is maintained. To maximize the effects of Ultrasound therapy, we recommend Meta-therapy treatments to continuously stimulate the production of superficial collagen.
