Ultrasound tightening at mid dermal depth, with no needles and no recovery time.

What it treats

Fine lines on the cheeks and around the eyes
Early jawline softening
Submental area
Brow lift
Skin laxity on the upper chest

How it works

Parallel ultrasound beams heat a band in the middle of the dermis while a cooling plate protects the surface. That band of controlled heat is enough to prompt collagen production without breaking the skin, so there is nothing to heal afterwards. It works shallower than focused ultrasound, which makes it gentler and better suited to skin quality and early laxity.

Typical course

One treatment, with results assessed at twelve weeks. Repeat annually.

Who it is not suitable for

Not used over an active infection or open lesion, during pregnancy, or over an implanted electrical device. Not the right choice where laxity is advanced.

Questions people ask

How is it different from focused ultrasound?

It works at a shallower, fixed depth and is more comfortable. Focused ultrasound reaches the deep support layer and lifts harder. If your main issue is skin quality and mild laxity, this is usually the better fit.

Can I have it before an event?

You can have it a day before with no visible sign of it, but it will not have done anything yet. For an event, have it three months ahead.

Does it work on all skin tones?

Yes. It does not target pigment, so the risk profile is the same across skin types.
