What's Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a unique innovation used for non-surgical facial lifting at the deep level of the SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) without requiring surgery and reducing wrinkles, which was imported by Merz Aesthetics Thailand. It is a technology that revitalizes skin layers using MFU-V technology (Micro-Focused Ultrasound with Visualization). It employs high-frequency sound waves that are highly focused and accurate (Focused Ultrasound) to deliver numerous small amounts of energy deep into the skin (Selective Delivery of Acoustic Energy). During the treatment, the physician can view the skin's image through the device screen (See & Treat), enabling them to administer the treatment while adjusting the ultrasound waves to suit the individual skin condition of each client. This precision allows for accuracy and better treatment outcomes compared to other technologies.
What’s SPT?
3 steps that make MFU-V the ultimate in non-surgical tightening technology
- (S) SEE immediately identifies all skin problems with MFU-V technology, visualizing the skin in real-time on a screen, providing in-depth information for the best tightening plan.
- (P) PLAN Expert doctors plan and analyze the issues accurately using real-time imaging data.
- (T) TREAT Utilizes the planned data along with precise energy delivery for optimal results.
Ultherapy's effectiveness lies in its ability to:
- Lift and tighten sagging facial skin
- Address drooping eyelids
- Elevate and tighten the lower eyelid area
- Sculpt facial contours for a more defined appearance
- Reduce wrinkles
- Firm and tighten skin around the neck and chest
- No resulting scars or need for skin recovery time
- Makeup can be applied as usual after treatment
How's process of Ultherapy?
Ultherapy assists in tightening the skin through a specialized technology that releases sound wave energy directed precisely into the skin. This energy is transformed into tiny points of heat that penetrate deep beneath the skin's surface, targeting the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer, a depth not reached by other technologies previously. This delivery of heat creates minuscule coagulation points, resembling small stitches beneath the skin within the SMAS layer, spaced approximately 1-1.5 millimeters apart in a continuous pattern. This process generates a consistent distribution of energy beneath the skin's surface, reaching the desired treatment areas and ensuring more definitive treatment outcomes. Ultherapy's treatment process induces the formation of new tissue within the SMAS layer. As the SMAS improves, it stimulates collagen fibers vertically and horizontally, enhancing adhesion to the upper skin layer. The result is a gradual, natural tightening, lifting, and smoothing of the skin from within.
How safe is Ultherapy?
Ultrasound technology has been used in medical treatments for over 50 years, and Ultherapy devices have been utilized by leading dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons globally, encompassing over 3,000 practitioners. Research has found these devices to be highly safe, widely accepted for their effectiveness, and treatment outcomes. For over 10 years, Ultherapy, Inc., in collaboration with renowned dermatologist Dr. Rox Anderson, Director of the Wellman Center of Photomedicine, Boston, MA, USA, a globally recognized figure in dermatology, conducted extensive research and development with Ulthasound devices for skin beauty. They conducted trials involving patients, leading to the creation of the first ultrasound machine used for facial lifting and skin tightening.
What sensations might you experience during and after the treatment?
During the treatment:
As ultrasound waves penetrate beneath the skin's surface, some individuals may feel sensations similar to actual skin suturing and warmth underneath the skin. These sensations may vary among individuals.
After the treatment:
Some may experience mild skin redness, which usually dissipates within an hour. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after the treatment without any visible wounds or scars.
What results can be expected from the treatment?
Visible results can gradually appear after a single treatment, becoming more pronounced after three months, as new tissue and collagen form more completely within three months. The treatment's effects can last for approximately a year. Research has shown that 9 out of 10 individuals who received the treatment experienced significant improvements such as lifted brows, more prominent eyes, enhanced facial youthfulness, tightened and smoother skin, reduced fine lines, and a lifted, tightened neck area without undergoing surgery.
