SMAS face lifting

SMAS lifting Ulthera in Kyiv

SMAS lifting is considered to be a procedure so effective that it is often compared to a surgical lift.

Many factors affect the skin every day: gravity, moisture loss, weight changes, diet, ecology. It is imprinted on our face with wrinkles, creases and a dull color.

The muscle frame relaxes, the skin becomes flaccid. As a result, the epidermis bears little resemblance to the face of a young man.

As a result, skin tightening becomes a necessary rejuvenation procedure.

Modern technologies carry out hardware facelift without surgery at the level of the aponeurotic system of the SMAS.

The latest development of SMAS skin tightening is already available at the Coollaser Clinic.

How to remove flews and tighten the oval of the face?

The main advantage of SMAS lifting is to tighten the skin, restore and fix the facial frame. Exposure to ultrasound stimulates the active synthesis of collagen and elastin. These are the most important components for the beauty and youth of the skin.

The average duration of the effect of the SMAS facelift is 2 years! Just think, almost 2 years without using beauty Injections.

Hardware facelift is perfect for any age. The effect will be especially lasting in young people, whose age-related changes have just begun.

Please note that this procedure is not recommended for persons under 18 and over 65.

Ultrasonic SMAS lifting is an excellent replacement for surgical and plastic surgery.

What are the benefits of a non-surgical facelift?

Safety.

The absence of contraindications and the period of rehabilitation makes the ultrasound facelift an ideal procedure. You no longer need to be afraid of scalpel and operations.

Effectivety.

Powerful ultrasound waves of SMAS penetrate to the required depth of the dermis. The specialist adjusts the depth of exposure, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.

Long-term effect.

The result of a non-surgical tightening or lifting lasts about 2 years.

Without consequences.

No more scars, dots, scars and risks of complications! Since cuts and punctures are not applied during a hardware lift, there is not the slightest chance of consequences.

Fast.

Minimum 40 minutes, maximum 2 hours. This is exactly how much the SMAS facelift takes. Only a specialist will tell you the exact time during a face-to-face visit.

When does the effect of SMAS lifting come and how quickly will the result appear?

The improvements visible to the eye appear several hours after the procedure. Rejuvenation can be fully appreciated in 3 months.

How does SMAS lifting work and what does it do?

After the procedure, you will receive the following changes and improvements in your appearance:

• Clear oval
• Tightened, elastic skin
• Facial contour rejuvenation
• Fine and deep wrinkles disappear
• The second chin goes away
• Full wing correction

Why is a specialist consultation necessary?

We care about your health. Before any hardware procedure, we recommend consulting a doctor.

The specialist will collect the patient’s history and scrupulously assess the condition of the skin. Examination of the epidermis will help determine the depth and intensity of the SMAS facelift you need.

The Ulthera apparatus has several protocols. Each of them is selected with all the nuances and in accordance with the patient’s expectations.

All protocols have passed European safety standards.

How is SMAS lifting done?

Before ultrasound rejuvenation, the doctor applies a marking on the skin, according to which the system will operate.

The ultrasonic wave descends 1.5 – 8 mm into the epidermis. The depth of the wave depends on the area of the skin.

The Ulthera device is perfect for treating especially sensitive areas – the chin, neck, décolleté, as well as the area around the eyes.

What should not be done after SMAS lifting?

The first 1-2 days after the facelift hardware, you may feel a slight tingling or tingling sensation.

No specific recovery is required. After 2-3 weeks, it is recommended to visit the attending physician for an external examination of the tissues and assess the effect.

What is better – SMAS lifting or laser rejuvenation?

Ultherapy technology is an ultrasound treatment. The active synthesis of collagen, as a result of exposure to ultrasound, occurs at the deep level of the SMAS system. Thanks to the Ulthera apparatus, deep regeneration of all facial tissues occurs.

SMAS laser rejuvenation is based on exposure to light beams of different lengths and intensities. The penetration depth of the laser is relatively shallow and affects the superficial layers of the dermis.

SMAS lifting and Laser rejuvenation work with dermis, but at different levels. Their solutions to problems are different. The combination of laser therapy and ultrasonic facelift will provide excellent results at all skin levels.

Over time, due to natural age-related changes, gravity, loss of moisture in the body and possible weight loss, a person’s face gradually changes shape. The skin loses its elasticity, the muscles and skin stretch and sag, the oval of the face changes and falls. The second chin and flews appear.

After such changes, even skin tightening may no longer produce noticeable results.

Thanks to modern technologies, it is possible to carry out a deep tissue tightening at the level of the aponeurotic system (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), which is called SMAS hardware lifting.

This lifting provides tightening of the skin, subcutaneous fat, facial muscles, as well as elastin and collagen fibers. This provides a lasting rejuvenation effect.

Doctor’s consultation before the SMAS lifting procedure

If you are planning to do such a procedure for the first time and there are doubts, be sure to make an appointment with a doctor for an initial consultation. The specialist will carefully listen to all wishes, as well as examine and determine exactly in which zones SMAS lifting will be the best solution to achieve the desired effect.

Also, the doctor will be able to determine the protocol necessary for a particular patient. In total, there are several lifting protocols on this device. All are prepared based on international safety and quality standards. They differ among themselves in the intensity and depth of the impact of this apparatus. The protocol will be selected taking into account the patient’s skin condition and tissue prolapse.

How is the procedure carried out?

Before carrying out this procedure, the doctor, using a special medical marker, will mark the zones along which the ultrasound tightening will be carried out. After that, he can start the very procedure of hardware SMAS lifting.

Without making a single incision, the doctor penetrates with the help of ultrasound to a depth of 1.5 to 8 mm, depending on the zone and part of the body. The ultrasound procedure forms the necessary clearer contours of the face, as well as the lines of the decollete and neck. This device can work even with the most difficult lifting – the area around the mouth.

To provide a face lift, you only need one such procedure.

How long does the procedure take?

In some patients, the threshold of sensitivity is very high. Therefore, our experienced doctors sometimes perform the ultrasonic SMAS lifting procedure using local anesthesia. In this case, the duration of the procedure will directly depend on the time for applying the anesthetic cream and the number of zones for tightening. Most often, this is no longer than 1.5 hours.

Recovery process

Within one to two days after the ultrasound SMAS lifting procedure, the patient may feel slight swelling and slight tingling sensations. But even despite this, you can continue to live in your usual rhythm.

For some people, the positive effect of the tightening can be seen in the first days after the procedure. But as a rule, the result is manifested with an increasing effect and becomes clearly noticeable after three to six months.

A few weeks after the procedure, it is possible to visit a doctor for a routine examination.

Is SMAS lifting different from a laser?

• Ultherapy ® uses ultrasonic energy to stimulate collagen production at a relatively deep level in the aponeurotic system of the SMAS. This leads to a significant tightening of the deep tissue layers.
• Lasers use light energy that penetrates superficially into the skin. Since the two technologies work at different depths and solve different tissue problems, they can and should be combined.

For example, Laser Resurfacing will help you remove scars, scars, stretch marks, acne marks and age spots. And SMAS lifting will tighten and improve the quality of the skin from the inside.

Stem cells are capable of real miracles and can solve most of the skin problems. By combining stem cells and an ultrasonic tightening procedure, you provide the skin with the best care and the longest possible result.

16. Can SMAS be given to pregnant women?

Not. Pregnancy and lactation are absolute contraindications for SMA lifting. We recommend to postpone this hardware procedure until the end of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
