Non-surgical ultrasound lifting ULTHERAPY

During the procedure, a special imaging system, available only on the certified American Ultherapy device, allows the doctor to precisely determine the depth of the SMAS layer. Using a specialized deep-lifting handpiece, the doctor delivers ultrasound energy pulses in a wave-like pattern to tighten the SMAS. In addition, the device has extra handpieces that act directly on the skin, stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the dermis. This prompts the skin to rejuvenate itself naturally. The result lasts up to 1–2 years, depending on your skincare routine, lifestyle, and individual body characteristics.

A key advantage of Ultherapy SMAS lifting is that it can be combined with other anti-aging treatments, such as Radiesse volumization. Ultherapy targets the SMAS layer, while Radiesse effectively restores lost volume and corrects deep creases, particularly in the forehead and cheek areas.

SMAS lifting is an ideal solution for those in the early stages of aging — it offers a chance to avoid surgery altogether. However, if the signs of aging are more advanced (typically after age 55–60), a surgical facelift may be recommended.

Advantages of non-surgical lifting:

• Safety.  Non-surgical facial rejuvenation does not carry the risks associated with surgery. Ultrasound works at depths of up to 4.5 mm.
  IMPORTANT: Safety has only been proven for devices manufactured in the USA. [4]
• The result lasts 1-2 years.
• Efficiency.  The process lasts from 40 minutes to several hours (if many areas need to be treated).
• No bruising, postoperative stitches after ultrasound lifting, no recovery period.

The clinically proven effectiveness [5] of Ultherapy’s ultrasound facelift has made it so popular that dozens of counterfeit and copycat devices have appeared. However — there are no true alternatives to Ultherapy. It is the only device equipped with DeepSEE® imaging technology, which allows the doctor to see the SMAS layer in real time and precisely target the ultrasound waves. This greatly helps prevent complications and enhance both safety and treatment results. [6]

If the ultrasound energy is mistakenly delivered to other layers — such as muscle or fat — it can lead to burns, lumps under the skin, or a lack of visible results.That is why only the original U.S.-manufactured Ultherapy device can ensure predictable, safe, and expectation-matching outcomes. 

The first results of the Ultherapy lift are visible immediately after the procedure. However, the collagen production process in the dermis continues for several months and peaks after 3 months. The final result, which lasts up to 2 years, can be seen during this period.

• Cuts, irritation, rashes, burns in the area where the procedure is performed.

• Pregnancy and lactation period.

• Cancerous diseases or acute viral infections.

• Prolonged period in menopause – 7 years or more (preparatory therapy required).

• Vegetarianism (the effect may not be as pronounced).

• Presence of a large fat layer in the planned procedure area, which prevents ultrasound from reaching the SMAS layer (it is necessary to reduce the fat layer beforehand using hardware or injection methods).
