SKINCARE : SMAS HIFU – FUTURE OF SKINCARE IN 2022 AND HENCEFORTH
HIGH-INTENSITY
FOCUSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT AND
SUPERFICIAL
MUSCULOAPONEUROTIC SYSTEM
It is a new, more effective, and safe mode of skin rejuvenation and restoration of facial soft tissues, which allows you to turn back the clock in 30-60 minutes!
This is a technique that was created for those who are not ready to undergo plastic surgery but would like to significantly tighten their skin. This is the only procedure that does not target the skin, but the underlying musculoaponeurotic layer.
ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
This is the only procedure that affects the depth of 3 mm, and 4.5 mm and reaches the musculoaponeurotic layer. Ultrasonic SMAS lifting is perfectly combined with other hardware and injection technologies, as it has its own application point.
ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC SURGERY

Safety and efficiency
Usage Contraindications
Surgical intervention is always associated with additional risks - a long and painful rehabilitation period, possible changes in appearance, nervous strain, and risks of anesthesia. The so-called human factor is also not excluded - the price of a mistake is too high. Non-surgical SMAS lifting is the best solution for clients who want to look young, but do not dare to undergo plastic surgery, have tried a lot in cosmetology, but want a more pronounced result without a rehabilitation period.

- Deepening of the nasolabial folds, drooping of the corners of the mouth
- Eyebrow drooping
- Age changes
- Double chin
- Loss of cheekbone lines
- Gravitational ptosis of face and body tissues

- Procedure performed once shows results within 1-3 months
- Stable, pronounced effect for 1-1.5 years
- No need for a rehabilitation period
The specialist performs make-up removal before the procedure.
Special markup is carried out on the skin.
A gel is then applied to the skin to allow soft tissue imaging and glide of the ultrasonic tip. The specialist applies the ultrasonic nozzle strictly by the applied markings.
As a result, the ultrasound energy infects the collagen and elastin fibers of the superficial layer of the musculoaponeurotic system, the collagen fibers are shortened in length, and the volume of the SMAS is reduced, providing an immediate facelift.
The ultrasonic energy contact with skin triggers activation of the new collagen synthesis and elastin fibers, the benefit of which can be seen gradually in the subsequent months.
The procedure is carried out at least at two levels of ultrasonic exposure with two different sensors. During exposure, dotted lines parallel to each other are formed on the corresponding layer of soft tissues, consisting of thermocoagulation points, while the points are the same in size. Thus, a grid of thermocoagulation points is created.
The total time of the procedure for the treatment of the entire face takes 30-50 minutes.
During the procedure, the client feels intense heat and tingling. Immediately after the procedure, skin tension is felt. Within two to three days, slight swelling and slight swelling of the treated areas may be observed.
Instant lifting is provided by two factors: a decrease in the volume of SMAS and its movement upwards as a result of point coagulation, compression, and contraction along the length of collagen fibers. Within 2-3 weeks, the treated soft tissues will be slightly sore, as after intense physical activity.
The lifting effect will increase within 2-4 months. A stable result in most cases persists for several years. Ultrasonic SMAS lifting procedure is performed 1-3 times at intervals of 30/90 days, with a lasting effect that lasts for 24-36 months.
Procedure - After Usage
- Do not wash your face with hot water for an hour after the procedure
- Do not visit the bath and sauna for 2 days after the procedure
- Avoid using exfoliating products for a week after the procedure or until the sensitivity of the treated areas is restored
- You can apply decorative cosmetics immediately after the procedure
- In case of active sun exposure after the procedure for 1 month, use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30
Safety and efficiency
Safe recommended exposure parameters for each area of the face are programmed in the device.
The safety and effectiveness of ultrasonic SMAS lifting have been confirmed by numerous pre-clinical and clinical trials, as well as practice in a huge number of foreign clinics. Major clinics and research centers in the United States (Harvard Medical School; Wellman Centre for Photomedicine; North-western University School of Medicine; University of California at San Diego).
The effect obtained as a result of the ultrasonic lifting procedure occurs in 89% of patients and increases within 90 days after the procedure. It is so significant and safe that this hardware technology for the first time in history received registration by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration in the United States) in the "Lifting" category.
