Ultherapy is the only non-surgical procedure in the world that works on the principle of plastic surgery. To achieve the plastic effect, just 1 procedure is enough! Altera is chosen by stars in Russia, Europe and America!
The Ultherapy procedure has been a winner of the BEAUTY CHOICE AWARD in the BEST NON-SURGICAL SKIN LIFTING category for 5 years in a row. In October 2016, the Ulthera System received the “BEST DEVICE IN AESTHETIC MEDICINE” award at the annual European Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine AMEC.
What problems can Ulthera therapy solve?
- Tighten the oval of the face
- Remove sagging skin from the upper eyelid
- Raise eyebrows and corners of lips
- Lift your cheekbones
- Smooth out wrinkles and folds (including in the nose and lips)
- Solve the problem of lip asymmetry
- Smooth the neck and décolleté area, where wrinkles and sagging skin greatly reveal a person’s age
- Remove the “double” chin
After the procedure, skin tension is immediately felt as contraction and tension of collagen fibers occur.
Manifestation of the effect
The result of ultrasonic face lifting is achieved in just one procedure, and in some patients the effect appears immediately after it. The tissues are tightened, the double chin, folds, wrinkles and other manifestations of ptosis disappear. But this effect is not final. It accumulates like bonus points on your PromoItalia favorite customer card. The tightening of soft tissues increases over the course of 2-3 months, and complete restoration of the former facial contour is achieved after six months, when the production of new collagen reaches its maximum.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultheratherapy, performed on the American Ulthera System, is the only procedure in the world with micro-focused ultrasound technology for skin lifting, working at the level of SMAS (muscular aponeurotic system), without damaging the skin surface . It is at the SMAS level that plastic surgeons work when they perform surgical skin tightening.
Ultrasound has been used in medicine for more than 60 years. With its help, doctors learned to identify various pathologies and rejuvenate the skin of the face and body. But for the first time, ultrasound became able to penetrate under the skin, returning muscles to a state of youth.
Altera System is a device developed by the international company Merz Aesthetics. It is approved by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) and is approved for use in the USA, Western Europe and Russia.
Altera was created by American scientists. The USA is today the leader in the development of equipment for skin rejuvenation. At the same time, the American system of quality control and safety of cosmetic equipment is very strict. It does not allow dubious devices to be released onto the market.
The procedure using the Altera System device has undergone more than 50 clinical studies that have confirmed its effectiveness and safety.
Deep SMAS lifting with the Altera System apparatus includes tightening of the skin, subcutaneous fat, facial muscles, collagen and elastin fibers. This lift gives a pronounced and long-term rejuvenation effect.
With the help of Ulthera-therapy it is possible to achieve lifting and tightening of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as correct wrinkles. The effectiveness and high degree of safety of Ulthera-therapy has been scientifically proven. Over 1,000,000 procedures have already been performed worldwide.
Purpose of SMAS (muscular aponeurotic system)
The facial muscles are located under the skin. But they make a significant contribution to age-related skin changes.
A distinctive feature of the facial muscles is that they are fused into a single muscular-fibrous layer (in English literature it is called the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) - superficial muscular-aponeurotic system), which is “sewn” to the skin in several places. By contracting, the muscles pull the skin along with them, as a result of which the facial expression changes - the eyebrows frown, the forehead wrinkles, the lips stretch into a smile, etc. Although such anatomy provides all the richness and variety of human facial expressions, it also creates the prerequisites for the formation of wrinkles and folds on the skin. After all, when muscles contract, they constantly stretch the skin. And due to the fact that the muscular aponeurotic layer is not connected to the bones of the face, the skin sags over the years under the influence of gravity.
To achieve the best results from a facelift, plastic surgeons work at the SMAS level. But they leave scars. After Altera, the surface of the skin remains even and smooth.
