1. The lifting effect has lost intensity in recent months.
Do you know that feeling of firmer skin and a more toned facial contour? If you notice that this effect is no longer as visible, it may be a sign that the collagen peak reached between 3 and 6 months after treatment is decreasing—and a new stimulus is needed.
2. More than 12 months have passed since the last session.
The general protocol for microfocused ultrasound involves 1 to 3 sessions per year, with average intervals of 3 to 4 months. In many cases, only an annual session It already maintains the results. But, if you've exceeded that interval, collagen may be progressively declining and your skin may be starting to lose the firm response it achieved.
3. Signs of mild sagging reappeared.
The return of small wrinkles in the cheeks, a slight drooping of the jawline, or even the more pronounced "nasolabial folds" can indicate that deep tissue support is no longer sufficient. These subtle signs call for a reassessment to understand if it's time to renew the stimulation.
4. Do you want to intensify the results or prevent future sagging?
It's not always necessary to wait for the loss of firmness to reappear. Many patients prefer anticipate the natural decline of collagen and maintain an ongoing maintenance plan. Repeating microfocused ultrasound before visible decline enhances the cumulative effect and helps preserve facial architecture for longer.
5. Have you experienced weight loss, stress, or hormonal changes?
Hormonal changes, restrictive diets, or intense periods of stress can interfere with skin structure—even if collagen has been previously stimulated. If you've experienced one of these phases, it might be time to review your aesthetic plan and consider another ultrasound session.
