Ulthera (HIFU)

Ultrasonic waves from
high-intensity focused
ultrasound (HIFU) works
on SMAS fascia to
powerfully lift up sagging
skin without cutting.

Recommended for those who

  • Are concerned about sagging around the mouth, such as nasolabial lines
  • Are concerned about a distorted face line or sagging cheeks
  • Are concerned about sagging under the chin or double chin
  • Feel their skin have lost its firmness
  • Don’t want to have surgery, but want to improve the sagging skin

What is Ulthera?

ウルセラ

Ulthera is a treatment method that uses continuous irradiation of “high-intensity focused ultrasound” called HIFU to promote collagen regeneration with self-healing power from thermal damage and improve sagging. It is highly safe as it has been approved by the US FDA, which is equivalent to Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Unlike facelift surgery using a scalpel, there is no long downtime or severe pain, and the lifting effect is immediate and lasts for about six months to a year.

Mechanism and effect

  • menuDetailを照射

    HIFU irradiation

    Collagen inside the skin shrinks due to heat

  • menuDetailを照射

    cell repair

    The body works to repair shrunken collagen and new collagen is produced.

  • menuDetailを照射

    Cell reconstruction

    Increased collagen gives the skin firmness and elasticity

The cause of sagging is the weakening of the SMAS fascia located further below the subcutaneous fat. Ulthera’s high-intensity focused ultrasound can reach deep layers that normal lasers and radio waves (high frequency) cannot reach, so it can specifically stimulate the weakened SMAS fascia. When ultrasonic waves cause small points of thermal damage, a force that tries to heal the wound is activated, promoting collagen to repair and improve sagging skin.

About downtime and precautions

Treatment time
Approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour
Side effects/ downtime
There is almost no swelling after irradiation (*There are individual differences), but in very rare cases, symptoms such as redness, swelling, tenderness like bruising, temporary sensory changes (transient paralysis, etc.), and slight internal bleeding may occur. Rest assured that the redness will subside naturally within a few hours to a few days, and other symptoms will subside naturally within a few days to a few weeks.
Face wash/bathing/ make-up
All can be done immediately after the treatment.
Aftercare
There’s nothing special about it, but be sure to take active UV care and moisturize your skin to prevent wrinkles and sagging.
Notes
You can wash your face from the same day, but please avoid rubbing it too hard with cotton towels, etc. If you wish to receive phototherapy or laser treatment, please wait 2 weeks after the treatment.

Frequently asked questions about Ulthera

Can I feel the effect after just one treatment?
yes. You can feel the effects immediately after the treatment.
Collagen regeneration occurs over a period of 2 to 3 months, and you will see even more effects. (*There are individual differences)
Should I have the treatment several times?
You can feel the effect even once, but if you want to maintain the lifted feeling, we recommend to use it continuously once every six months. (*There are individual differences)
Is there anyone who cannot receive Ulthera?
Basically, people of any age, gender, and skin color/type can receive it.
I am worried about the pain during the procedure.
Depending on the area, there may be slight pain during irradiation, but the treatment does not cause severe pain. (*There are individual differences)
