Deepened nasolabial folds, floating oval, distinct frowns and wrinkles – all these complaints are typical of patients distressed by the rapid manifestation of signs of aging. Age-related ptosis and stretched skin can no longer be corrected with light cosmetic effects. To correct age-related changes, you will have to work with deep-lying facial tissues. This is within the power of surgical, thread and hardware techniques. The most interesting among them is ultrasonic SMAS-lifting. Estet-portal.com notes that this procedure using the Ultraformer device makes it possible to do without a surgical facelift and at the same time get the same rejuvenating result as after the operation.
Features of different lifting technologies for facelift
In order to restore a youthful appearance to an aged face, it is not enough to improve the quality of the skin, but one should try to correct the soft tissues of the face deformed under the influence of gravitational forces. A number of age-related deformations are based on the altered state of the fibromuscular layer. It is located under fatty tissue, connecting the dermis and facial muscles.
In the process of aging, the musculo-aponeurotic system weakens, because of this, the muscles of the face descend, forming manifestations of ptosis, wrinkles and folds.
Not so long ago, the only way to really effective lifting was a surgical facelift. Its essence lies in the fact that the surgeon exfoliates the skin and the musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) through an incision and then performs a tightening. The method is effective and gives long-term results. But, like any surgical operation, this type of SMAS facelift is associated with high risks and requires a difficult long rehabilitation.
Another fairly effective way to tighten the oval of the face – placement of cosmetic threads. The effect is achieved through holds that help lift and fix soft tissues in the desired position. This method has much fewer contraindications than surgery, the risks are minimal, and the rehabilitation is short. radio wave, ultrasonic, laser. Their great advantage lies in external access, without punctures and incisions, which very often frighten patients. Technically, these methods are completely different, but the approximate essence of their work – cause controlled damage to the soft tissues and cause them to contract.
Ultrasonic facelift application specifics
In order to qualitatively correct the oval of the face and its age-related deformations, it is necessary to act at the level of the SMAS layer – which performs scaffolding and supporting functions without forgetting the dermis.
Today, the only non-invasive way to influence the SMAS is the HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) ultrasound lifting technology.
This technology is being successfully implemented using the Ultraformer hardware system. An intense focused ultrasonic wave with an oscillation frequency of 2, 4, 5.5 or 7 MG creates thermocoagulation zones at a given depth in the subcutaneous fat layer, dermis and at the SMAS level. High-intensity ultrasound, causing vibrations in tissues, leads to their local point heating with subsequent contraction.
Advantages of ultrasonic method for face and body lifting
Ultraformer can be used to work not only on the face, but also on the body. The best results can be achieved with the right selection of patients. Among the indications for the correction of age-related changes in the face, the following are distinguished:
• facial contour deformation;
• manifestations of ptosis in the forehead and eyebrows;
• flabbiness of the skin, small and medium wrinkles on the face, neck, decollete;
• pronounced nasolabial folds;
• drooping of the corners of the lips;
• facial asymmetry;
• acne scarring;
• sagging and flabbiness of the skin of the submental area.
Due to the availability of various high-capacity tips, specialized cartridges for the face and periorbital area, the doctor is guaranteed to achieve the planned result of the correction.
Ultraformer Advantages over Other Hardware Ultrasound Technologies:• regulation of the intensity of exposure due to the possibility of microfocusing, choice of line length and distances between coagulation points at seven depth levels;
• high-quality energy delivery strictly to a given area to achieve maximum results;
• no side effects;
• no restrictions on photo skin type;
• the ability to create individual therapy protocols.
Thus, the correction of signs of aging with the Ultraformer device becomes a successful alternative to surgery, allowing you to achieve a noticeable and lasting lifting effect.
