There have been several important technological breakthroughs in aesthetic medicine over the last decade. According to experts, one of them is SMAS lifting technology using HIFU - high-intensity focused ultrasound. It is believed that SMAS technology is the only effective alternative to a surgical circular facelift. Of course, any patient will prefer a hardware procedure to a surgical operation if he is confident in the qualitative effect of rejuvenation.
However, until recently, this procedure had a number of serious drawbacks – high pain, high cost and low efficiency for patients with certain morphotypes aging In addition, there are many manufacturers of SMAS lifting devices on the world market, which differ significantly from each other in terms of price and functionality. All this raises a number of important questions for doctor and the clinic:
- whether such technology is needed at all in the arsenal of services and procedures;
- what parameters of the device should be paid attention to first of all;
- pain threshold;
- security of the procedure;
- efficacy for patients with tired and deformed aging morphotype;
- how profitable is such an investment for the clinic;
- how the expectations of the patient who came for the procedure will be realized.
These questions were answered by Tatiana Shimbareva – chief physician and co-founder of the MedSPA VODOLEY clinic, which has been successfully using the Ultraformer III device for a year now.
Why the decision was made to purchase the Ultraformer III
T.Sh.: The purchase of the Ultraformer, presented by Bella Systech, was, on the one hand, verified, and on the other – very spontaneous.
As a dermatologist practicing in cosmetology, I realized that my colleagues, and even plastic surgeons, cannot always provide the desired result for people with a certain type of aging – for example, with gravitational ptosis, tired morphotype.
And often, even if you get a satisfactory result, it does not last long. This problem is typical for patients with pasty faces, heavy tissues.
The decision to purchase the Ultraformer III device in our clinic was made for several reasons: the possibility of performing SMAS-lifting, as well as the absence of previously existing problems – high cost and pain of the procedure.
How painful is the procedure for the patient
T.Sh.: For many patients, the issue of pain is very important. Patients during the procedures, which are carried out using the Ultraformer III device, note a certain degree of sensitivity, but at the same time they describe it as tolerable and absolutely bearable.
Even some of the discomfort that people with a low pain threshold may experience does not last throughout the entire procedure, which takes only 30-40 minutes, but is limited to a matter of minutes.
Even a few unpleasant sensations that may occur in people with a low threshold of pain sensitivity are limited to a matter of minutes
What is the benefit of using the Ultraformer III
T.Sh.: When making a decision to purchase equipment, each doctor takes into account not only its effectiveness, but also the cost of the procedure. The procedure on Ultraformer III is absolutely adequate for the price.
The decisive moment that played a role in the purchase of this device was the possibility of SMAS-lifting. However, in practice, we got a much wider functionality.
The fact is that in one procedure we use different nozzles – 4.5mm, 3mm, 1.5mm, 2mm. Thus, the effect is provided not only on the muscular-aponeurotic layer, but also on the subcutaneous fatty tissue – and at the same time we get a pronounced lipomodeling effect. This gives advantages in the fight against painters, dispersed fat compartments.
Ultraformer III, in addition to SMAS lifting, allows you to get a pronounced lipo-modeling and biorevitalizing effect both on the face and on the body.
Using a 1.5–2 mm tip, we have a direct effect on the dermal structures, helping to tighten, increase skin turgor, reduce wrinkles and improve the complexion of the patient.
This device can be used not only for rejuvenation of aged persons with pronounced changes, but also when working with fairly young patients, acting biorevitalizing on the skin and lipomodeling on the subcutaneous fatty tissue, if necessary.
Bodywork – another advantage of using the device. We were able to achieve phenomenal results in the fight against localized obesity in the abdomen, thighs and buttocks within two weeks.
What are the restrictions before and after the procedures on the Ultraformer III
T.Sh.: The main anti-age care takes place, as a rule, from mid-autumn to spring. But, as a rule, this happens due to the fact that many procedures have a number of limitations associated with insolation.
Ultraformer III does not require any special preparation or any restrictions before or after the procedure. This procedure does not require a special recovery period. As a general rule, we recommend that patients limit physical activity for a few days.
At world congresses, the best doctors present ready-made protocols for the use of Ultraformer III. Therefore, we are acquiring ready-made experience of Western experts, whose opinion can be trusted.
