Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is an advanced non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift, firm, and tighten the skin. This therapy is particularly effective for addressing sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage, providing a subtle, natural-looking lift without the need for surgery.
How Ultrasound Therapy Works
Ultrasound therapy uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, targeting the same foundational layer typically addressed in surgical facelifts. This energy stimulates collagen production and initiates the body’s natural regenerative process, resulting in firmer, tighter skin over time. The ultrasound energy is delivered with precision, bypassing the surface of the skin to treat deeper tissues, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
