Non-surgical facelift can achieve great results with no risk of scarring it uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy, his type of energy bypasses the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. This is the most suitable option for patients between 40 to 60, as it is still possible to achieve sufficient improvement for most patients without the need to carry out invasive surgery, risking scarring and “unnatural appearance” that is often the cause of patient dissatisfaction after a surgical facelift.
In an Ultherapy face lift, no skin is broken, as ultrasound can penetrate the skin invisibly, to reach the layer of skin where it stimulates collagen and elastin production, tighten the skin layers and can often produce more favourable outcome than other laser and thermal treatments. There is no “downtime” as there is no cut in the skin, therefore patients do not have “recovery” period that is required for other more invasive options such as surgery, fibroblasting or laser resurfacing. A minority of patients may experience more sensitive skin in the area treated that may take up to 6 weeks to calm down. There is no risk of undesirable changes in pigmentation for patients with darker skin.
The Ultherapy ultrasound technique stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin to reverse the visible signs of ageing.
