What is Micro-focused Ultrasound?
Micro-focused Ultrasound is a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin. By targeting deep layers of tissue, where collagen and elastin reside, Micro-focused Ultrasound stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, resulting in a long-lasting lift. It is the only FDA-cleared treatment for lifting skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow, as well as smoothing lines and wrinkles on the décolleté.
How does Micro-focused Ultrasound work?
Micro-focused Ultrasound delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin’s surface, targeting the same tissue layers as a surgical facelift—without incisions or downtime. This energy triggers the body’s natural collagen-building process, gradually improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. The treatment is 20% faster than traditional Micro-focused Ultrasound, and still delivers the same long-lasting lifting results.
What skin conditions can Micro-focused Ultrasound treat?
- Sagging skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
Who is a good candidate for Micro-focused Ultrasound?
Micro-focused Ultrasound is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, such as sagging under the chin, on the neck, or fine lines on the chest. It’s a great option for those in their 30s or older who want a non-invasive alternative to a facelift, or for younger people looking to maintain their skin’s firmness. While it won’t duplicate the results of surgery, Micro-focused Ultrasound provides a safe, effective solution for those not ready for surgical procedures.
Key Benefits of Micro-focused Ultrasound
- Personalised Treatment: Real-time visualisation allows for precise targeting of the treatment areas, ensuring a customised approach to each patient’s skin needs.
- FDA-Cleared: Micro-focused Ultrasound is the only US FDA-cleared device for lifting skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and for smoothing lines on the chest.
- Non-Invasive: The treatment is completely nonsurgical with no downtime, making it a convenient option for busy individuals.
- Long-Lasting Results: Results unfold gradually as your body produces new collagen, with effects lasting over a year.
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients experience noticeable results after just one session. Full effects typically appear within two to three months as new collagen develops. We will recommend the best treatment plan for you, but many patients enjoy results that last over a year.
What to expect after treatment?
There is no downtime with Micro-focused Ultrasound, so you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, but these side effects are temporary. We will provide guidance on any post-treatment care if needed.
