Microfocused ultrasound is a treatment that was developed with the aim of providing a non-invasive and non-surgical face lifting effect. This technology uses heat to promote the improvement of sagging. Ultrasound waves can reach and heat the deeper layers of the skin, where collagen contraction begins to occur. He manages to map the entire structure of the skin and, only then, starts the treatment at the necessary points.

​

The energy is focused to a point below the surface of the skin and concentrated in an area of about 1 cubic mm per point. This increase in temperature produces small points of thermal coagulation at a depth of up to 5mm in the deepest layers of the skin, without damaging the most superficial layers.

​

In addition to tissue coagulation, the application of heat promotes the denaturation of collagen fibers in the fatty tissue below the skin, located close to the muscles of facial mimicry, as well as in the deepest portion of the dermis. This process leads to the contraction of these fibers and stimulates the formation of new collagen at the site. This causes a muscle contraction that causes an immediate facelift effect after the treatment and lasts for months, with its peak around the fourth or fifth month, period in which collagen production is at its maximum stage, resulting in a significant improvement in flaccidity.

Recommendation

​

Its main indication is mild to moderate sagging, both facial and body in individuals (men or women) who are not prepared to perform a surgical lifting. Only one annual session is indicated, however, in cases of more pronounced sagging, the procedure can be done with a shorter interval, every six months. It can be done on the face, neck, eyes, hands, perioral wrinkles ("barcode"), and also on the belly, inner thigh, glutes, abdomen and knees, with a very satisfactory result.
