Even if you are registered in the gym and have never heard of the word “eat” in your diet, you know very well that there are areas of the body that cannot be corrected categorically. And what to do with them? There are two options: leave it alone, forgetting the misleading notions of the “ideal body” or, if your soul tells you, go to a beautician and ask him to give you a SMAS lift. Yes, we were not mistaken. This procedure is performed not only on the face. To understand the nuances, we asked dermatovenereologist Anna Voloshina of the Sensavi Beauty Institute.
Which body problems are suitable for SMAS lifting?
SMAS removal on the fourth generation Ultraformer MPT device is excellent for correcting excessively localized fat deposits. I also recommend it to those who want to get rid of sagging skin and tone it.
In which areas does it work and in which areas is it not affected?
The device perfectly copes with deposits on the abdomen, waist, inner thighs and shoulders. Even with the help of SMAS-lifting, you can train the breeches and knees. The kit includes several nozzles with different exposure depths from 6 to 13 mm. We select and combine them according to the area and severity of the problem – using those that work deeper first, then those that work with the skin surface.
The device is not designed to work with the calf area, because there are no fat deposits there. Since the exit of the sciatic nerve is located there, they cannot affect the rib area, as well as the area under the hips.
How often should the procedure be done? What are the contraindications?
Ideally, the procedure should be done no more than once a year. But there are nuances. The effect of the procedure increases over time and the patient gets a full-fledged result after 4-6 months. At this time, I invite him to review it to assess the impact and make a correction if necessary. The procedure has general contraindications. This is a violation of the integrity of the skin, oncological diseases, the tendency to form keloid scars, the presence of metal plaques, as well as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and systemic skin diseases.
What time of the year should it be done?
The advantage of the Ultraformer is that it is not seasonal. That is, the procedure can be carried out all year round. Previously, patients were attached to summer vacations, but now everyone flies to resorts at any time of the year, so you can plan a trip to the procedure only 4-6 months before the planned vacation date.
What are the post-procedure restrictions?
In order not to increase the swelling, it will be necessary to exclude visiting the sauna and not taking a hot bath for a week.
Is he sick? How do you feel in this process?
All patients note that with the fourth generation Ultraformer MPT, the procedure has become less painful than with the previous version. During the session, they feel a slight warmth and a slight tingling in the treatment areas. Another plus is that the process now takes only 20-30 minutes.
What and when to expect an effect?
Depends on demand. If we work with the quality of the skin, the effect is immediate. But if the task is to get rid of body fat, then the patient will have to be patient. You will notice the first results in about a month, but the final result can be evaluated in 4-6 months. This is directly related to the rate at which the body responds to injury. As a result, the device creates coagulation microzones, destroys the membranes of fat cells, and also stimulates the production of new collagen by breaking down old collagen.
Can SMAS and plastic surgery be combined?
If we are talking about excess body fat, I advise you to trust the Ultraformer MPT device and wait for the result. If it doesn’t fit, you can seek advice from a plastic surgeon and discuss liposuction. However, it is important to immediately explain to the patient what local fat deposits are. After all, if he is obese (body mass index greater than or equal to 30), the device will not help, since fat is distributed throughout the body. And first, complex studies are needed with an endocrinologist and a nutritionist with soft cosmetic procedures such as lymphatic drainage or hydromassage, myostimulation, exposure to the LPG apparatus. Only after body weight has been reduced, you can start working with the quality of the skin and the same local deposits.
