What Is ULTRAcel HIFU?
ULTRAcel HIFU delivers a highly precise, deep-reaching energy—specifically known as Focused Ultra Sound (FUS™)— that completely bypasses the skin’s surface to target the foundational tissue responsible for a youthful, firm contour.
By directing this therapeutic heat deep into the fatty layer and SMAS layer, the ULTRAcel HIFU system achieves powerful, long-term tightening and effective skin regeneration. It is an ideal treatment for those seeking noticeable lifting and facial remodeling results without the need for surgery or significant downtime.
How ULTRAcel HIFU Delivers a Deep, Natural Lift
Targets the Foundation (SMAS Layer)
HIFU is precisely directed to the SMAS layer which is the deep, structural support tissue tightened during a surgical facelift.
Triggers Natural Skin Renewal
This therapeutic action initiates your body’s natural healing process, stimulating the long-term production of new collagen and elastin.
Achieves the Lift without Surgery
Completely non-invasive yet powerfully effective, the treatment lifts, firms, and smooths the skin for a naturally youthful finish.
Part of the ULTRAcel Triple-Layer System
The ULTRAcel HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology works with the system’s other two modalities, with each one targeting different layers of the skin for a complete full-face rejuvenation.
For the best outcome, many patients benefit from a comprehensive multi-layered approach using a combination of these treatments.
