Face and body skin tightening
All patients over 40 years of age experience manifestations of gravitational ptosis to one degree or another. One of the most progressive anti-aging techniques today is ultrasonic SMAS lifting. Go through the procedure with highly qualified doctors in the K+31 clique.

About the disease
SMAS is a skin framework consisting of collagen, elastin and facial muscles. With age, muscle fibers, collagen and elastin fibers stretch and lose elasticity, which leads to “sagging” tissues and deformation of the oval of the face.
The SMAS lifting procedure, performed using the Ulthera System device, helps to reduce and tighten the fibers, as in a lift, when the surgeon cuts off the excess with a scalpel. This occurs under the influence of focused ultrasonic pulses produced by the device.
Ultrasonic energy penetrates the skin and causes targeted heating of tissues at various depths up to 60 - 70 degrees. This is the optimal temperature for the synthesis of new collagen. Natural processes of restoration and rejuvenation are launched, in particular, the synthesis of new collagen. Thus, we act on the root cause of the problem, and not on its external manifestations.
- All manifestations of gravitational ptosis - tissue sagging.
- Sagging skin of the face and neck as a result of significant weight loss.
- Sagging of the cheekbone area, deformation of facial features and proportions.
- The appearance of so-called “jowls” - baggy, unaesthetic formations in the chin area.
Security of the procedure
The procedure can be called safe without a doubt. Ultrasound energy is used in a variety of areas of medicine: dentistry, diagnostics, cosmetology and others. High-quality devices made in the USA have safe operating parameters that significantly reduce the role of the human factor during manipulations. In addition, the doctor monitors the progress of the procedure on the monitor exactly as during an ultrasound. This makes it possible to control all processes at the micro level, monitor the depth of the impulse and the condition of the collagen fibers.
The procedure does not leave damage, scars, noticeable swelling and does not provoke the development of hyperpigmentation. Due to the strictly defined depth and impact zones, damage to blood vessels and nerve endings is excluded. The Ulthera System device allows for targeted effects without damaging adjacent soft tissues. Ultrasound affects only a certain layer and does not penetrate into underlying structures. SMAS lifting technology has been well studied and has passed all the necessary laboratory and clinical tests. It has a predictable result, which means it gives the patient confidence and peace of mind.
Effect of the procedure

Hanging eyebrow line, signs of aging in the periorbital area, drooping eyelids.
-
Deepening of the nasolabial folds in combination with flattening of the cheek area, drooping of the corners of the lips.
-
Deformation of the oval of the face due to sagging skin, loss of splint and elasticity, the presence of a “double chin.”
-
The appearance of wrinkles in the neck and décolleté.
-
Pregnancy and lactation period.
-
Severe forms of acne on the face, disorders of the skin regeneration process.
-
Damage and inflammation of the skin in the treatment area.

7 advantages of SMAS – lifting
Excellent lifting effect without incisions or damage to the skin
Ulthera System is the only non-invasive lifting procedure approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This is a sign of high recognition in this field
The depth of exposure of the device is up to 4.5 mm. Only plastic surgeons and Ulthera System can work at this level
Natural result. There is no sudden change in appearance. The effect increases over time and you look better and better
Does not require a recovery period, patients can return to their normal lifestyle almost immediately
We can definitely emphasize the absence of risks associated with surgery. These include long-term rehabilitation, the effects of anesthesia, emotional stress
For most patients, just one session is enough to achieve the desired result. In addition, you can undergo the procedure whenever you want - there are no seasonal restrictions

Differences from other hardware methods
Modern cosmetology and aesthetic medicine offer many anti-aging techniques. To be fair, it should be said that they all successfully cope with the assigned tasks. Among the most popular procedures are laser exposure, radiofrequency lifting, photorejuvenation, and fractional laser thermolysis. They give good results when correcting superficial changes: fine wrinkles, post-acne, uneven dermal relief, etc. When it comes to gravitational ptosis and pronounced age-related changes, the Ulthera System SMAS-lifting technology is unrivaled. Its effect can only be compared with a surgical lift, but that’s a completely different story.
- Unlike SMAS - lifting. No hardware procedure is capable of affecting a depth of up to 4.5 mm. For comparison, laser affects only the epidermis (1-1.5 mm), and radiofrequency lifting affects the epidermis and dermis (up to 3 mm).
- Ulthera System causes heating to 60-70 degrees, at these values collagen denaturation and optimal neocollagenesis occur. When using a laser, temperatures can reach 100 degrees, causing visible damage to the skin. Note that, unlike Thermage, SMAS lifting using the Ulthera System device is not contraindicated for patients with dry, thin skin, lipodystrophy and rosacea.
Stages and progress of the procedure
The SMAS lifting procedure is painless and well tolerated by patients. It lasts from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the area of influence. The sequence of the procedure is as follows:
Consultation with a doctor, medical history collection, identification of indications and contraindications for the procedure
Makeup removal, skin cleansing
Photographing the treated area in different projections, which will allow you to evaluate the effect of the treatment
Marking the area of ultrasonic influence. At the patient's request, a local anesthetic cream can be used
Application of conductive ultrasound gel to the skin surface
Selection of individual parameters for the operation of the device. Monitoring the progress of the procedure and the position of the sensor on the screen. Hardware impact. The patient does not feel pain or significant discomfort, but may experience tingling and warmth
Removing gel, applying finishing cream
Other cosmetology and dermatology services
