What is the alter therapy procedure in cosmetology?

Non-surgical Ulthera SMAS lifting affects the muscular aponeurotic layer located under the subcutaneous fat tissue with ultrasound. It is possible to influence other layers of the dermis, for example, to correct wrinkles and jowls. The ulteratherapy procedure is approved by the FDA, an agency of the US Department of Health.

The ulthera hardware ultrasound procedure is suitable for men and women of all age groups; there is no rehabilitation period. But you need to understand that if you already have severe signs of aging, static wrinkles, then perhaps your cosmetologist will suggest another rejuvenation procedure.

Ultrasound alter therapy is ideal in the first and second stages of aging, when expression wrinkles are already appearing or are just beginning, there are slight sagging skin in the upper eyelid area, nasolabial wrinkles appear, in these cases SMAS Ulthera is an ideal option.

It is important to understand that the sooner you begin to smooth out the listed age-related changes in the skin, the more effective the effect after alteration will be, and the aging of the skin itself will slow down.

Ask a Question

The alter therapy hardware cosmetology procedure is a case where a woman, having visited the clinic once, can look in the mirror calmly and joyfully for 1-2 years without surgery.

Alter therapy - a procedure for the face, its non-surgical lifting, has proven itself well. The application of the technique is also effective in the following areas:

• around eyes;
• upper eyelid;
• cheekbones;
• double chin area;
• upper lip, cheeks, neck;
• belly, décolleté.

The principle of operation of alter therapy is the impact of focused ultrasound waves on deep tissues, in particular at the SMAS level, heating them and contracting them. As a result, we get tightening of the ligaments and stimulation of the production of new collagen.

Regardless of the area of ​​influence, the hardware procedure of alter systems takes place according to the following protocol:

A cosmetologist uses sensors on the device’s handpiece to diagnose the level of SMAS. This level may vary in different parts of the face in one patient. An important distinguishing feature of the Ulthera System helps here - real-time visualization of the level of tissue occurrence.

After diagnosis, the specialist works on the required areas one by one with different attachments selected at the first stage of the ulthera therapy procedure. A minimum of 2 sensor attachments are used for the procedure. Before the procedure, local anesthesia is performed if necessary.

The duration of the procedure depends on the affected area, on average 30-60 minutes. The result of contour plastic surgery with fillers based on hyaluronic acid or vector lifting with Radiesse based on calcium hydroxyapatite will effectively complement the result. The combination of these techniques gives a pronounced anti-aging effect.

Contraindications

Contraindications to Ulthera therapy are:

• pregnancy, lactation period;
• age up to 14 years;
• acne, acne;
• epilepsy;
• any form of diabetes;
• acute form of herpes;
• ulcers, open wounds;
• completing a course of antibiotic therapy;
• renal failure;
• oncology;
• coronary heart disease;
• the presence of dental implants installed earlier than a year before the procedure.

Neglecting the above contraindications is prohibited, since ultrasound can affect many organs and systems of the human body.

What not to do after altera

Rehabilitation after the procedure does not contain any serious restrictions on daily life. The patient is recommended:

1. do not wash your face with hot water for 2 hours;
2. do not use scrubs or facial peels for 2 days;
3. exclude saunas, steam baths, hammams for 3 days.

After a few days, during the rehabilitation period, sensations of soreness in the muscles may appear, as after a strength training. This means that the SMAS alter lifting works.

Altera therapy has the effect of preventing sagging facial tissues, strengthening the ligaments of muscle fibers, and preventing age-related changes in the skin. By influencing the SMAS level, the specialist obtains long-term and lasting results from Altera therapy.

Complications after alter therapy

The safety of the procedure has been proven by scientific testing and FDA approval. This is achieved due to the ability to visually control the depth of the effect, bypass large vessels, nearby nerves located in deep layers and avoid contact with bone structures. Of course, safety also depends on the specialization of the cosmetologist.

Negative consequences arise only when a specialist violates the procedure protocol. Possible side effects:
