What is it?

Ultrasound energy is focused at specific depths in the dermis and SMAS (fascia) layer without damaging the skin's surface, creating thermal coagulation points (TCPs). The heated collagen contracts on the spot for an instant tightening feel, and over the next 2-3 months new collagen and elastin form through the healing response, gradually improving firmness.

Who it's for

Improves sagging of the brows, jawline, neck and décolletage. In 2009 it became the first HIFU lifting device to receive FDA clearance, for brow lifting, and its indications later expanded to the neck (2012) and décolletage (2014).
