RESULTS

Microfocused ultrasound treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment may may support skin firmness and address mild to moderate laxity in areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage 

Indications for Micro-Focused Ultrasound Treatment

Skin laxity and sagging

This ultrasound-based skin tightening procedure may be considered for mild to moderate skin laxity, which commonly occurs with age-related collagen loss.

Drooping eyebrows

It may be used to address mild drooping of the eyebrows caused by reduced skin elasticity.

Loose skin under the chin

A softening jawline or the development of loose skin under the chin can be addressed with this treatment, as it helps to tighten the skin in this area.

Lines and wrinkles on the décolletage

The chest area often shows signs of ageing through fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment can stimulate collagen in this delicate area and help address visible signs of skin ageing.

Benefits of the Treatment

This non-invasive procedure may be an option for individuals who prefer a non-surgical approach to skin firming: 

Non-surgical approach: This ultrasound-based skin tightening procedure does not require incisions, stitches, or surgical downtime. Patients can return to their regular activities shortly after treatment.

Gradual results: As the procedure works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, the results tend to develop gradually.

Long-lasting effects: Results may last between 12 to 18 months, depending on individual skin condition and the natural ageing process.

Single treatment session: Most patients require only one treatment to observe gradual changes, although those with more pronounced skin laxity might benefit from additional sessions.

Area of treatment: The procedure can be tailored to focus on your particular concerns, whether that’s the full face and neck or just specific areas like the eyebrows or under the chin.

How Does Micro-Focused Ultrasound Treatment Work?

This treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to target specific layers beneath the skin without affecting the surface.

Ultrasound visualisation: Before treatment begins, the aesthetic doctor uses ultrasound imaging to see the layers of tissue beneath your skin. This allows them to deliver the energy exactly where it will be most beneficial.

Thermal energy delivery: The device delivers focused ultrasound energy to specific depths within the skin tissue. This energy creates small zones of heat that trigger the skin’s natural repair process.

Collagen regeneration process: The controlled heating triggers the body’s natural healing response. This promotes the formation of new collagen (a process known as neocollagenesis)—which gradually strengthens and tightens the skin over the following months.

Areas Suitable For Micro-Focused Ultrasound Treatment

Preparing for Treatment

Medical consultation: A thorough assessment of your skin condition and medical history will be conducted. This helps determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure and which areas would benefit most from treatment.


Pain management discussion
: Discuss comfort measures with your aesthetic doctor beforehand. Some people take over-the-counter pain relief about 30 minutes before the procedure to minimise discomfort.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Initial cleansing

The treatment areas are thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils or residues. A marking pen may be used to identify specific treatment zones.

Ultrasound gel application

A clear ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area. This helps the ultrasound handpiece maintain good contact with the skin and allows for smooth movement during treatment.

Ultrasound imaging

The aesthetic doctor places the handpiece against your skin and uses the system’s ultrasound imaging to view the tissue layers beneath. This allows them to see exactly where the energy will be delivered.

Energy delivery

Once the target tissue is identified, the aesthetic doctor delivers the ultrasound energy in a series of precise pulses. Each pulse takes only a few seconds but delivers energy to create small zones of heat that trigger the skin’s repair process at specific depths.

Completion and aftercare

After all areas have been treated, the ultrasound gel is removed, and the skin is cleansed. A moisturiser and sunscreen may be applied before you leave the treatment room.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery

Immediate Care

In certain cases mild redness, tenderness, or swelling in the treated areas may be experienced immediately after the procedure. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a few days.

There is no downtime required. However, it is advisable to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect the treated areas from sun exposure, as the skin may be more sensitive in the days following treatment.

Recovery Timeline

During the first month, visible changes may be minimal as collagen production begins. Gradual improvements in skin firmness often become more noticeable between 2 to 3 months. Full results generally develop by 3 to 6 months, when collagen regeneration reaches its peak.

Follow-up Care

A follow-up appointment may be scheduled 3 to 6 months after treatment to assess progress.
