What does SMAS stand for?
Superficial musculo-aponeurotic system – superficial musculo-aponeurotic system. Thanks to the ultrasonic effect procedure on the muscular-aponeurotic system penetrating the skin up to the SMAS level, the skin’s own resources are activated, thereby deeply eliminating age-related changes and improving body contours. As a result of this exposure, coagulation microzones appear, the tissues contract and this gives a lifting effect. The procedure takes place without disturbing the skin integrity, there is no rehabilitation process and can be done at any time of the year.
How does it work?
Focused ultrasonic radiation affects the SMAS structure and the deep layers of the dermis. Ultrasound creates microscopic coagulation sites. Affected points contract, leading to a reduction in tissue volume. At the same time, the skin rejuvenation process is initiated: collagen and elastin production is activated. The result of the impact is the disappearance of cracks and the restoration of the SMAS layer, it begins to function again as a framework that supports the skin. Soft tissues are tightened and strengthened.
Benefits of SMAS face lift
Results after the first session! After all, one procedure provides an excellent result of tissue tightening. In this case, the effect does not require a recovery period. And since the procedure has a cumulative effect, the maximum transformation in the appearance and condition of the skin is observed after 5-6 months.
How is the procedure performed?
The session takes 30-60 minutes. A suitable nozzle is selected for each problem area, after which the doctor sets the desired program on the device (the parameters depend on the degree of the problem). Then comes the phase of immediate impact on problem areas. Ultrasound does not affect healthy tissues, working at a certain depth and carrying out targeted heating of tissues to 60-70 degrees. During exposure, adipose tissue is broken down, elastin and collagen production begins.
Do I need recovery after the procedure?
No, however, there may be a slight redness in the treated areas during the day. Don’t worry, after 2-5 days everything will pass by itself. During the first week, you need to protect the skin from direct sunlight. In the same period, it is recommended to refuse to visit the solarium, sauna, bath.
How many sessions do you need to take?
The doctor determines the duration individually for each patient, focusing on the nature of the problems, the condition of the skin and other factors. On average, 1-2 procedures are required per problem area. It is recommended to repeat the sessions in order for the result to be permanent after 1-1.5 years.
