How SMAS (HIFU) Lifting Work for Your unique needs

Do you want to get back the firmness and youth of your skin without surgery? SMAS (HIFU) lifting is a modern ultrasound skin tightening technique that works on the deeper layers of tissue. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) stimulates the formation of collagen and elastin throughout the procedure, promoting natural rejuvenation processes. These proteins are necessary for the suppleness and hardness of skin. After just one session your skin gets firmer, smoother and more defined contours.

How does the procedure work?

During the procedure SMAS lifting a specialised tool applies ultrasonic energy to the SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), which is situated deep beneath the skin. This guarantees accurate heating of the tissue, which causes contraction and the synthesis of new collagen. This procedure enhances skin tone, smoothes wrinkles, tightens and elevates face features, and produces a natural rejuvenating effect. You will see tighter, smoother skin with more defined face features after only one session. A complete course provides long-lasting results that can last up to 18 months.
