Focused ultrasound can act even on the deepest layer of the skin. Although it is not surgery, it is at least as effective, so it is frequently preferred. It is used for skin rejuvenation: focused sound waves stimulate collagen production and activate the skin self-repair system. Tired of a tired-looking complexion and want livelier skin? Then you can try this method, a great alternative for those who do not want surgery. Made possible by new technology, this approved technique is among the most preferred applications for the face and decolletage and is also effective for lines on the decolletage. Although called by different names, the working principle is essentially the same.
Is Focused Ultrasound Effective?
It is a highly effective technique. Being safe and offering so many advantages without surgery is remarkable. It gives great results with no incision, no scar and no downtime. It protects the skin surface and reaches the deepest layers with high frequency; it does not pierce or damage the skin, acting in the tissues beneath. It heats the target tissue up to 65 degrees in millimetric points without harming adjacent tissue, so only very slight pain may be felt. It is a comfortable procedure.
When Will I See Results?
There is no waiting period, because results begin to appear with the procedure. But the look right after is not the final result: the effect keeps rising for an average of up to 6 months, so the skin keeps changing in this period. The duration varies per person. The effect is usually described as tightening and firming, and lasts up to 1-1.5 years.

How Does It Take Effect?
It takes effect by heating the skin, safely brought up to 65 degrees, with a head selected to act at different depths. With precise targeting it never damages other tissue. The sound waves skip the surface and reach the lowest layer; the tissue enters a healing process, natural repair occurs, and collagen-fiber production and organization are stimulated. The treated skin stays firm for a long time with an upward-pulling effect, and the difference is clear in photos. The energy setting is planned in detail by the specialist according to your expectations.
