Ulthera System

What is Ulthera System?

Ulthera System is a focused ultrasound with visualization for non-invasive lifting at the SMAS level.

The ultrasonic beam penetrates into the deep layers of skin (about 4.5 cm), forming a "tug" in the tissues and providing a persistent lifting effect for several years ahead.

Unlike any other non-surgical methods Ulthera System affects collagen and elastin fibers of the superficial muscular aponeurotic layer (SMAS). With the exception of surgical face lifting, there have been no other methods of working with this layer previously.

Ulthera System apparatus functions

  • Ultrasound image of deep layers of skin: epidermis, dermis and subdermal layers (scanning to a depth of up to 8 mm).
  • Therapeutic mode: affecting targeted structures by means of focused ultrasound, coupled with the visualization (patented Ulthera DeepSEE TM technology).

Indications for the procedure

Ulhera Ultrasonic Lifting Procedure is used to correct manifestations of gravitational ptosis (drooping of face and neck tissues):

  • sagging eyebrows, excess skin on eyelids
  • flattening of the middle part of the cheek
  • deepening of the nasolabial folds
  • drooping corners of the lips
  • loss of definition of the face-shape
  • loss of definition of the lower jaw line
  • drooping and sagging of the skin under the chin and in the neck area

Ultrasound lifting can be used not only for corrective purposes but for prevention of similar age changes as well. The procedure is recommended for the patients looking to significantly lift their skin without resorting to surgical methods.
