smas-lifting for rejuvenation

SMAS lifting is the only procedure approved by the FDA for straightening and renewing the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as for the correction of wrinkles.

The principle of the procedure is as follows:

  • with the help of a safe exposure to a sensor with micro-focused ultrasound in various layers of the skin - from superficial to SMAS (musculoskeletal system), they are heated in points.
  • After such an exposure, new youthful collagen and elastin are actively produced, which allows you to tighten and tighten the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as to correct wrinkles.

  • almost painless procedure
  • the result of the procedure is immediately visible and continues to increase for 2-6 months
  • the result after the procedure lasts up to 2 years
  • one process is enough to achieve a visible result

The system uses ultrasound to tighten and tighten the skin. The initial elevation observed immediately after the procedure is due to the increase in tissue density under the influence of temperatures, denaturation (changes) and reduction of collagen in some areas.

Are there any side effects to the procedure? Is it safe? These are two very common questions about this process. Our short answer is yes, the process is generally safe.

This is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure for the body and face. It uses highly focused intense ultrasonic energy to tighten and lift the skin by gently warming the tissues and stimulating the body's collagen formation process.
