The principle of the procedure is as follows:

  • with the help of safe exposure to a sensor with microfocused ultrasound on different layers of the skin - from superficial to SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system), they are heated pointwise;
  • after such exposure, new young collagen and elastin are actively produced, which allows you to tighten and tighten the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as to correct wrinkles;

  • virtually painless procedure
  • the effect of the procedure is seen immediately and continues to increase for 2-6 months
  • the result after the procedure lasts up to 2 years
  • one procedure is sufficient to achieve a visible effect

The system uses ultrasound to tighten and tighten the skin. The initial lifting observed immediately after the procedure is due to an increase in tissue density under the influence of temperatures, denaturation (changes) and a decrease in collagen in certain areas.

Does the procedure have side effects? Is it safe? These are two very common questions about this procedure. Our short answer is yes, the procedure is generally safe.

This is a non-invasive procedure for tightening the skin of the body and face. It uses highly focused intense ultrasonic energy to tighten and lift the skin, gently warming the tissues and stimulating the process of collagen formation in the body.
