  UltheraULTHERA / Focused Ultrasound

  Using ultrasound imaging to view the skin layers directly, it delivers energy point by point into the SMAS layer. Because it works at the same depth that surgery lifts, it's the choice when sagging originates in the SMAS layer.

  Target layer SMAS layerResults last 8–12 monthsPain level Moderate to strong
• 02
  InModeINMODE / RF + Ultrasound

  Combining radiofrequency and ultrasound, it acts on the subcutaneous fat layer and the dermis at the same time. A good fit when a double chin or facial fullness is also a concern.

  Target layer Subcutaneous fat + dermisRecommended sessions Once a week × 4–6Pain level Mild
• 03
  OligioOLIGIO / Monopolar RF

  It delivers radiofrequency energy evenly throughout the full dermis to induce collagen contraction and regeneration. The choice when an overall loss of firmness is the main concern.

  Target layer Full dermisResults last 10–12 monthsPain level Mild to moderate
• 04
  Onda LiftingONDA / Microwave

  Microwaves act selectively on subcutaneous fat cells. A good fit when localized fat under the chin or on the body is also a concern.

  Target layer Subcutaneous fatRecommended sessions 3, spaced 2–4 weeks apartPain level Mild
• 05
  Sylfirm XSYLFIRM X / Microneedle RF

  Pulsed radiofrequency is delivered directly into the dermis through fine needles. It can address firmness together with redness or pigment concerns in a single approach.

  Target layer Dermis (needle)Recommended sessions 3–5, spaced 3–4 weeks apartPain level Moderate
• 06
  Titanium LiftingTITANIUM / Triple-wavelength Laser

  Three laser wavelengths are applied at once to deliver heat in stages from the epidermis down to the dermis, with little downtime.

  Target layer Epidermis to dermisRecommended sessions 3–5, spaced 2–4 weeks apartPain level Mild
• 07
  Thread LiftingTHREAD LIFT / Absorbable Threads

  Absorbable threads are inserted to physically anchor sagging tissue. Combined in cases where sagging is too advanced for energy devices alone.

  Target layer Subcutaneous tissueResults last 12–18 monthsPain level Moderate (local anesthesia)

Frequently Asked Questions

• How long do lifting results last?
  It depends on the treatment. Ulthera and Oligio last about 8–12 months, and thread lifting about 12–18 months depending on the thread type. Collagen regeneration takes place over the following 8–12 weeks rather than on the day of treatment, so results are most visible around three months later.
• What is the difference between Ulthera and Shurink?
  Both are focused-ultrasound lifting, but they deliver energy differently. Ulthera uses ultrasound imaging to view the layers directly and delivers energy point by point into the SMAS layer, whereas Shurink delivers it in lines without imaging.
• Can I have several treatments together?
  Because they act on different layers, they are often combined. That said, spacing them out rather than doing them all on the same day is better for both recovery and evaluating results.
• Is it very painful?
  It varies by treatment and individual pain sensitivity. High-intensity focused ultrasound tends to be moderate to strong, radiofrequency mild to moderate, and microwave and laser relatively mild. We apply plenty of numbing cream beforehand.
• How much does it cost?
  It depends on the number of shots, the tip combination, the treatment area and the type of anesthesia. You can find the price range by item on our Non-covered Treatment Fees page, and we provide the total cost in writing at your consultation before proceeding.
