SMAS lifting

SMAS is an abbreviation of the English term that means "superficial musculo-aponeurotic layer". It forms a framework of soft tissues, maintains the elasticity and tone of the skin. With aging, sagging of the SMAS layer is observed, which causes wrinkles to appear, skin folds deepen, and the skin on the face and body sags.

The SMAS-lifting procedure in Kyiv is based on the effect of ultrasound on the deep areas of the dermis and hypodermis to trigger the synthesis of collagen fibers and restore the structure of the musculo-aponeurotic layer. Ultrasound triggers the lymphatic drainage effect, reduces the volume of fat deposits in problem areas, and activates metabolic processes. The price of SMAS lifting in Kyiv is higher than the cost of other hardware techniques, but its results are not inferior to a plastic facelift.

Ultrasound fibers penetrate to a depth of 4.5-5 mm and can affect those layers of soft tissues that were previously accessible only to a surgical scalpel.

For the SMAS-lifting procedure, the Dobrobut MC clinics use the innovative Ultraformer apparatus (South Korea). The device combines all the achievements of modern ultrasound cosmetology and allows you to effectively work with aesthetic imperfections.

Features of the Ultraformer:

• generates beams of conical shape, which affect only the connective tissue and do not damage blood vessels;
• does not cause painful sensations;
• stimulates the natural processes of skin rejuvenation and regeneration;
• suitable for all skin types;
• allows you to customize the parameters individually for each patient.

The cost of SMAS-lifting on the Ultraformer device is several times lower compared to surgical skin tightening, moreover, it does not cause complications and does not leave any traces of impact.

Ultrasonic lifting is recommended for patients over 35 years old who are faced with unaesthetic age-related changes in the face and body. For body shaping, the procedure can also be used at a younger age, for example, to restore body beauty after pregnancy and childbirth, to eliminate "fat traps".

After one session, it is possible to get rid of such imperfections:

• deformation of the oval of the face;
• deep wrinkles and skin folds;
• drooping of the corners of the eyes and lips;
• sagging of the soft tissues of the face and body;
• stretch marks (striae);
• cellulite;
• postpartum belly;

The procedure is ideal for patients with a deforming type of aging, who have dense skin, a tendency to sag, and pasty tissues. For such people, the cost of SMAS lifting is 100% justified, since it is possible to achieve a rejuvenating effect for several years.

The rejuvenation procedure consists of the following stages:

1. Thorough cleansing and antiseptic treatment of the affected area.
2. Non-invasive tissue thickness measurement and skin marking.
3. Using a water-based gel to improve the penetration of ultrasonic waves.
4. Treatment of the problem area with an ultrasonic sensor along predetermined lines.
5. Removing gel residues from the skin and applying a soothing cream.

The procedure lasts from 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of work. During the session, the patient may feel slight pressure or tingling, but there is no discomfort.

The price of SMAS-lifting in Kyiv depends on the size of the treated area and the duration of the procedure. The doctor will be able to tell the exact cost of ultrasound rejuvenation after the initial consultation of the patient. The result of a single rejuvenation is maintained for 1.5-2 years.

Immediately after the session, the skin may be slightly red and swollen, but these symptoms disappear within a few hours. After a visit to the beautician, you can immediately return to your daily activities.

For the recovery to go as quickly as possible, the patient is advised to follow these rules:

• do not expose the skin to sudden changes in temperature;
• limit physical activity;
• exclude visits to baths and saunas;
• use SPF cream on open areas of the body;
• give up scrubs, peels, hard body washcloths;
• use mild facial cosmetics.

After the end of the recovery period, you can consolidate the effect of ultrasonic SMAS lifting with other cosmetic procedures: mesotherapy, biorevitalization, contour plastics, vector lifting.
