Smas lifting

SMAS lifting is an effective method of rejuvenating and tightening facial and body skin using focused ultrasound. SMAS lifting is an alternative to surgical facelifts. The SMAS lifting procedure at the Slim center in Kyiv is performed using the original Ultraformer 3 device. It's non-invasive and uses ultrasound to target the inner muscular-aponeuritic layer of tissue. This layer, which includes connective and soft tissue, serves as a kind of framework.

As a result of age-related changes, the skin and muscles of the face become less elastic, causing deformation and sagging of the tissues. SMAS lifting penetrates to a depth of 1.5 to 5 mm of the lower subcutaneous layers of the face, stimulates natural metabolic processes, improves the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Thus, the tissues restore their elasticity, turgor increases, and a lifting effect occurs.

With ultrasonic SMAS lifting, the skin is not damaged, the rehabilitation period passes without discomfort and pain, slight swelling and redness may be observed, which will disappear within a few days after rejuvenation.

The cost of the SMAS lifting procedure in Kyiv is reasonable and affordable, given that HIFU SMAS rejuvenation is performed using the Ultraformer 3 device. SMAS lifting is performed without any special preparation, after which a gradual increase in the positive result of rejuvenation and tightening of facial tissues is observed over several months. You can perform an ultrasound facelift or body lift on individual problem areas or carry out a complex procedure that includes the face, neck, and décolleté area.

Indications for SMAS lifting

The ultrasound SMAS lifting procedure is prescribed for people aged 28-30 years and provides the most effective results in the early stages of age-related deformities. However, even in older age, a rejuvenating effect can be achieved within a short period of time. Ultrasound facelift is recommended for visual symptoms such as:

✓Sagging cheeks, ptosis of the eyelids, drooping in the brow area;
✓The appearance of a double chin;
✓Deep nasolabial folds, the appearance of wrinkles in the lip area, drooping corners;
✓Loose, toneless skin around the eyes and lower face.

It is recommended to repeat the SMAS lifting procedure every two years. The price of the SMAS lifting procedure in Kyiv varies widely, depending on the number of zones treated with ultrasound, as well as the severity of the deformities, which is determined individually during a preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist.

At the Slim aesthetic medicine clinic in Kyiv, SMA lifting is performed using the HiFu Ultraformer 3 (Korea), a certified ultrasound device. The Ultraformer 3 meets all safety requirements and has all the necessary quality certificates.

The process of ultrasonic face and body lifting consists of several stages, including cleansing the skin, applying anesthetics, a gel composition to improve the passage of the ultrasound beam, adjusting the depth of penetration of the wave using built-in sensors and the selected cartridge. This is followed by direct application to the target areas of the face and body using the appropriate device attachment. You can book an SMAS lifting appointment at the Slim center in Kyiv online. Each client undergoes a preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist, with whom the desired results are discussed and a forecast is made. A dermatologist selects individual parameters of the Ultraformer 3 device for optimal ultrasound exposure, taking into account the depth of the subcutaneous SMAS layer in a particular client.

Recommendations after the SMAS lifting ultrasound treatment session

Immediately after the procedure, you must adhere to several simple rules:

✓Avoid tanning for 7-14 days (natural UV rays and solariums);
✓Do not steam the skin in the affected area for at least a week, which means refrain from visiting baths, saunas, or taking hot baths;
✓Minimize or completely eliminate the internal use of non-steroidal medications (aspirin, nimesil, etc.).

You should also avoid mechanical damage to the skin and soft tissues in the areas of ultrasound treatment, and minimize physical activity for the first two to three days. A specialist will provide additional advice.
