Hifu-Fractora treatment

Perhaps you already know about the UltraLift™ 3D HIFU, often referred to as a knifeless facelift, which is based on high-intensity ultrasound energy, and Fractora, which involves skin needling and radiofrequency energy. This winter, we are introducing something very special to our range: the Hifu-Fractora combination treatment, which combines the effectiveness of these two procedures.

With Hifu-Fractora, it’s possible to achieve significantly long-lasting results, similar to a surgical facelift, depending on the case, as well as smooth, vibrant, and younger-looking skin – with natural treatment outcomes.

The skin becomes firmer, wrinkles and fine lines diminish, skin tone, scars, and pigmentation issues even out, and the overall appearance of the face, cheeks, eye corners, and brow arches lifts. Your overall look becomes youthful and rejuvenated, and the initial results can be noticed right after the treatment.

This is by far the most effective knifeless facial rejuvenation treatment, and its impact, unlike surgical facelifts, is based on the long-term regeneration of your own skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is UltraLift™ intended for?

  • For women and men with signs of aging in their skin
  • For patients who do not wish or cannot undergo facelift surgery
  • For patients who want to prevent skin sagging
  • For patients who want to strengthen their skin’s collagen production
  • For patients considering SMAS facelift

How does HIFU treatment differ from other device treatments?

UltraLift™ HIFU stimulates the skin’s collagen regeneration, similar to radiofrequency and laser treatments. However, HIFU differs somewhat from laser and radiofrequency treatments.

High-intensity, microfocused ultrasound — HIFU — penetrates deeper into the skin compared to radiofrequency or laser light energy. Laser and radiofrequency procedures can stimulate the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. The same results can be achieved with HIFU energy, but HIFU also allows for tightening of the SMAS structure located beneath the skin.

Tightening the SMAS structure is not possible with laser or radiofrequency energy.

What is SMAS?

SMAS is an abbreviation for Submuscular Aponeurotic System. The SMAS structure is located in the cheek area, between subcutaneous fat and muscle. At its lower part, it connects to the platysma muscle of the lower face and neck.

In some surgical facelift procedures, the skin is tightened and repositioned along with the SMAS tissue. This allows for better firming of sagging in the lower face. Before the discovery of HIFU technology, SMAS tissue could not be tightened without surgery.

High-intensity ultrasound energy (HIFU) allows for moderate tightening of the SMAS structure without surgery. HIFU procedures are often referred to as non-surgical facelifts. However, it should be noted that HIFU technology does not achieve as radical results as traditional facelift surgery.

What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein found, among other places, in the dermis of the skin. Collagen makes the skin firm and tight.

The collagen content of the skin begins to decrease as early as the age of 25. The decline in both the quality and quantity of collagen accelerates after the age of 40. Therefore, the skin of a middle-aged person is looser and more wrinkled than before.

Medical device treatments can increase the amount of collagen to some extent and improve its quality. Collagen production can be enhanced using methods such as laser light or radiofrequency energy. Additionally, UltraLift™ HIFU improves the quality of existing collagen and stimulates the skin to produce entirely new collagen.

How do you prepare for an HIFU procedure?

  • Come to the UltraLift™ treatment without wearing makeup.
  • If you wish, you can also remove your makeup at Cityklinikka. In that case, ask the reception staff for a cleanser.
  • Leave all jewelry at home; also remove piercings.
  • It is recommended to start taking collagen supplements before the procedure.

Does the HIFU treatment hurt?

UltraLift™ treatment may be completely painless. Some may feel tingling on the skin during the procedure. Treatment on the lower face may cause a sensation of toothache.

It is recommended to take a painkiller 30–60 minutes before the start of the procedure.

Post-treatment discomfort can also be relieved with over-the-counter pain relievers.
