What is microfocused ultrasound?
Microfocused ultrasound is a technology that delivers thermal energy to specific points in the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike lasers and radiofrequency treatments, it can reach... high school (superficial muscle layer), the same region treated in facelift surgeries.
The goal is to stimulate collagen, promote retraction, and give the tissue more firmness, resulting in:
• more defined facial contour
• Reduction of mild to moderate sagging
• Improved skin tone
• continuous collagen stimulation
It is a treatment that acts on the internal structure of the skin, offering progressive and natural results.
How does Liftera, the new generation of micro-focused ultrasound, work?
O Liftera It is considered the most comfortable version in its category because it uses a technology called Thermo Mechanical Action (TMA)which allows for faster energy delivery with less discomfort.
It operates at three strategic depths:

– greater definition of the outline
– subtle and natural elevation
– lifting effect without surgery
– continuous collagen stimulation between 3 and 6 months
Liftera also allows fixed or scanning probe modesmaking the treatment more comfortable without losing potency.
