Non-Surgical Facelift
How does it work?
Your skin is made up of multiple layers:the superficial epidermis, the deeper dermis and the hypodermis(also called the subcutaneous layer). The skin is conected to a superficial musculoaponeurotic system, or SMAS. The SMAS connects the facial muscles to the skin, and its purpose is to transmit, distribute, and amplify the activity of all facial muscles. With age, the building blocks of supple, youthful skin (collagen, elastin and a gel-like substance called the extra brillar matrix) lose their strength and elasticity and the SMAS layer loses its ability to support your skin. The result is loose, sagging and wrinkled skin. Ulfit’s Focused Ultrasound treatment tackles sagging skin at all levels.
Ulfit works with geometric precision. Micro-Focused Ultrasound sends bursts of finely tuned ultrasound energy to precise depths to stimulate regeneration. The target tissues are heated to the specific temperature required to induce thermal injury, which causes the collagen to contract, and then, over time, to produce new and stronger collagen. Ulfit’s exact focusing technology ensures that the right depth is always targeted.
Treatment benefits build gradually over a period of a few months, as the production of new collagen provides a more youthful support structure for your skin. You can expect to experience a tighter, more toned skin, along with some reversal of sagging in the treated areas.
Our Ulfit HIFU technology is TGA approved and medical-grade, offering lifting, tightening, and contouring to areas of the face, neck, and body.
Suitable for:
Anyone between the ages of 30 and 80 with sagging and laxity of the skin, caused by sun damage and ageing. Patients with facial implants or open wounds on their face are not appropriate for this treatment.
Which areas can be treated with HIFU?
All areas on the body and face. The most popular areas are face, neck, chin, periorbital (under the eyes), crows feet, cheeks, forehead and décolletage. On the body, it is highly effective for stomach, hands, thighs and knees.
And the bonus is that it can be performed over 30 minutes in a lunchtime break with no down-time, minimal side-effects and is almost completely pain free.
Benefits:
- The Ulfit is non-invasive, non-surgical and has absolutely no downtime.
- Produces excellent results for face lifting, skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and contouring of the face
- Can be used all over the face or to target specific areas such as neck, chin and/or eyes
- Results continue to improve over 3-6 months and can last up to one year
How many sessions do I need?
The number of treatments depends on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual’s collagen-building process. We would generally recommend 1-3 treatments depending on the area treated and the results strived for.
When do I see results?
Results can be seen immediately with collagen production increasing in the 6-12 weeks post treatment. Results improve over time and can last up to one year. A second treatment can take place 12 weeks after your first treatment not improving results but the longevity of the results.
