HIFU – Non-Surgical Face Lift – Skin Solutions Mediclinic

We offer the remarkable state-of-the-art ULTRAcel Q+ treatment – an advanced solution for skin tightening and body contouring. This cutting-edge HIFU technology (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is trusted by physicians worldwide and has gained popularity in various countries.

ULTRAcel Q+ stands out as the world’s first and only linear-shot HIFU medical equipment capable of dissolving fat and tightening sagging skin on not just the face but also other body areas.

ULTRAcel Q+ works by delivering HIFU to target different layers of the skin and deliver precise and fractional focused energy with the aim of controlled trauma, including the dermis and the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer without damaging the skin tissues and surface. The SMAS layer is the same area, which is typically addressed in surgical facelift procedures.

The SMAS is the deeper layer and is responsible for the muscular activity in the face. By stimulating the SMAS and the connective tissue there is a contraction in the muscle and new collagen and elastin synthesis occur in both layers.

These two mechanisms work naturally to both uplift and rejuvenate the skin with visible firming and tightening. The process of skin rejuvenation and regeneration continues as the extracellular collagen matrix is re-formed strengthened and remodelled.

One of the highlights of ULTRAcel Q+ is its ability to maintain a stable temperature during treatment, avoiding unnecessary heat sensations that may cause discomfort. As a result, many clients describe the procedure as relatively painless and appreciate the reduced downtime in delivering the treatment.

The ULTRAcel Q+ is the perfect option for those who want a natural rejuvenation result. The treatment has become increasingly sought after, especially among those seeking non-invasive alternatives to surgery. Best results are seen 8-12 weeks post-treatment, but the effect will continue for up to 6 months after treatment.

Do I need to apply anaesthetic cream before my treatment?

Most patients have reported minimal discomfort during the treatment without anesthetic cream. It is up to the patient’s preferance to apply anesthetic cream.

How does the ULTRAcel Q+ work?

The ULTRAcel Q+ treatment works by delivering high frequency ultrasound waves, generated from a transducer into the tissue to produce heat at a focal point (HIFU). HIFU does not cause epidermal damage. It promotes collagen denaturation and regeneration by raising the tissue temperature. Ultracel Q+ has two type of cartridges. With the dot cartridge, each dot delivers focused high intensity energy that reaches about 65°C. This temperature is optimal for stimulating collagen which is beneficial for skin elasticity and skin tightening. The linear cartridge delivers bulk heating to a wider area. This is effective for volume reduction.

Is there any downtime after this treatment?

There is no downtime so patient can return to daily life immediately after each treatment.

What Results should I expect?

Patients can see the difference immediately* after the treatment, but after 2 to 3 months, collagen regeneration takes place and this process can last up to 6 months.
* Results may vary person to person.

How many treatments do I need?

The ULTRAcel Q+ is effective with just one treatment. However additional treatments will improve results.
