SMAS lifting (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) is an advanced skin tightening technique that targets the deeper layers of the skin and muscle tissue, providing long-lasting lifting and rejuvenation effects. Unlike surface-level treatments that affect only the epidermis, SMAS lifting works deeper by stimulating the muscle and tissue structures. This makes the method especially effective, achieving results similar to surgical facelifts but without the need for surgery.

The two most effective SMAS lifting procedures available in our clinic are Ulthera and Ultraformer. Both procedures use ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, but each has its own unique features and benefits.

Procedure Features

Ulthera is the first patented SMAS lifting system and is considered the gold standard in non-surgical facelifting. It is known for its high precision and control over depth. The procedure is carried out under ultrasound guidance, ensuring maximum safety and effectiveness.

Ultraformer is a more affordable alternative with a similar effect, but the procedure takes less time. It also uses HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), but due to its design, it can cover larger areas in one session. This makes the procedure faster while maintaining high results.

Benefits

Both procedures offer visible results after the first session, improving facial contours, lifting the skin, and reducing wrinkles. The final result appears over the next few months as new collagen is produced.

Ulthera benefits

• Maximum precision thanks to visual control
• Ideal for delicate areas requiring special attention, such as around the eyes
• Performed once a year to maintain the effect

Ultraformer benefits

• Faster procedure
• Ability to treat larger areas
• Affordable price with similar results

Differences

The main difference between the procedures is the price and session duration. Ulthera takes more time and is a more expensive procedure due to real-time ultrasound control, whereas Ultraformer achieves similar results faster and at a lower cost.

Which Procedure to Choose?

The choice between Ulthera and Ultraformer depends on your individual needs and budget. If you require the highest precision and control, Ulthera is a great choice. If you’re looking for a faster and more affordable option, Ultraformer will provide similar results in less time.
