The competition between hardware cosmetology and plastic surgery has reached its peak over the past 10 years! Millions of people want to look young and beautiful, but plastic surgery does not give the desired effect due to the dangers associated with anesthesia, the operation itself, and the length of the postoperative period.
We do not deny the need for surgical intervention, because there are problems that only surgeons can solve.
Ultrasonic SMAS lifting
Ultrasonic SMAS-lifting is the latest technique for lifting the soft tissues of the face using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The term smas stands for the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system, which is a component of the muscles of the face.
By working with this anatomical structure, it is possible to change the very structure of the face, rejuvenating the skin. The advantage of this method is that it is non-invasive, while offering deeper penetration and effective treatment with no downtime.

Ultrasonic SMAS lifting – this is a technique that was created for everyone who is not ready to decide on plastic surgery. This procedure is for those who are ready to spend 40-50 minutes and look great without a rehabilitation period. SMAS lifting – it is the first technique to receive FDA certification in the United States. Its effect is not directed at the skin, but at the underlying muscular-aponeurotic layer (known to everyone as SMAS).
Vector non-surgical facelift: effective skin tightening?
Let's start with what is SMAS?
SMAS (English: Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) – it is a two-layer structure consisting of a superficial fascia, which is a layer of collagen and elastin fibers, and a layer of mimic muscles.
Together, these layers form the framework that supports the skin of the face. On the one hand, this system is connected with the overlying layers of soft tissues (skin and subcutaneous fat), on the other hand, through connective tissue partitions and ligaments with the bones of the facial skeleton.
With age, changes in collagen fibers occur not only in the skin, but also in the superficial musculoaponeurotic layer, which leads to the loss of its function as a face frame.
Under the influence of gravity, collagen fibers are stretched and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system moves down.

There are such changes in the face as the fuzziness of the contours of the oval of the face, the appearance of excess tissue under the chin, the drooping of the eyebrows. These are the so-called gravitational changes, they cannot be eliminated by acting only at the level of the skin.
Before the advent of HIFU (ultrasound) technology, aesthetic cosmetology worked only at the level of the skin. Now we can work on the muscles!
There is no need to make any preparation before the procedure. This procedure is best combined with contouring, but after a while. Because SMAS lifting works on the lateral parts of the face, pulling the muscles up, the medial part (nasolacrimal grooves, nasolabial folds, lowered corners of the mouth) remains for revision with contouring (hyaluronic acid).
The technology is based on the impact of a focused ultrasonic wave on SMAS. Under the influence of intense focused ultrasound, a selective point heating of the area of the muscular-aponeurotic layer occurs, which leads to its contraction, providing an immediate facelift.
The impact of ultrasonic energy leads to the activation of the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers, which ensures an increase in the effect of the procedure for several months.
One of the important features of the technique "ultrasonic lifting" is that the generated wave passes all the overlying structures (skin and subcutaneous fat) without damaging them, and without scattering, which ensures the maximum effect at the desired depth.
