What is the working principle of focused ultrasound?

Ultrasound is generally a sound wave with a wavelength of more than 18 KHz. The sound beams of this wavelength are too high for this human ear to hear. Ultrasonic sound waves focus on the desired tissue depth in points. This energy carrier targets the connective tissue (SMAS). With focused ultrasonic sound waves, the vibration of molecules in this tissue called SMAS increases. It causes coagulation with the heat energy generated by friction caused by vibration. Here, heat damage is created, the tissue goes into a recurrence period. It creates micro coagulation foci at the appropriate depth. The upper layer of the skin is not damaged, so it does not cause crusting on the skin. The tissue is heated to 65-75C at varying depths of 1.5- 3-4.5 mm. It is a method that renews the skin from the lowest layer to the top layer. It is important to adjust the frequency of ultrasonic waves, focal depth, output power, and exposure time. At 65-75 C degrees, collagen is destroyed in the skin and the tissue repair process begins. Poor collagen is destroyed, but more stable (durable) short, thick, baby collagen production is triggered. This new viscoelastic collagen, baby collagen lifting and skin tightening are provided.

What is the difference of focused ultrasound from laser systems?

The main difference between the Focused Ultrasound application and the applications performed with laser systems is that they work with different energy types and accordingly, they are carried out by different devices. The most distinctive difference of Focused Ultrasound application compared to applications performed with laser systems for those who apply to medical aesthetic applications is that it is not a treatment method that has a limitation in terms of season. Focused ultrasound is an application that can be applied in all seasons. In applications performed with laser systems, the upper layer of the skin, namely the epidermis, is damaged and it is necessary to protect from the sun. In this sense, lasers are applied in autumn and winter.

Which areas can be applied to skin rejuvenation with focused ultrasound?

In our face and neck, under the skin, there is a conveyor connective tissue structure that deeply surrounds the whole face in a reticulated shape and connects the facial muscles to the dermis. This connective tissue is an elastic fibrillated structure in contact with collagen fibers interspersed between fat cells. SMAS, that is, this connective tissue is attached to the inner part of the forehead muscles at the top, and continues with the platysma band at the bottom. It is attached to platysma, which is the muscles surrounding the eye and the connective tissue in the neck. In the nasolabial region, that is, in the area where the nose edge lines are located, it is in connection with the muscles that pull the lip up, surrounding the lip, pulling the corners of the lip down, and the laughing muscle. In the back, it is attached to the anterior cartilage and the sternocleidomastoid muscle that runs diagonally from the back of the ear to the collarbone. The most common SMAS structure is connected to the periosteum and facial muscles, which are the outer ossicles.

Focused ultrasound targets this connective tissue. With Focused Ultrasound, skin rejuvenation, ie non-surgical skin stretching, can be applied to every part of the face, which is the area where signs of aging, sagging and wrinkles occur most, as well as the neck and low neck area. It is applied to people with goose foot, eyebrows, eyelid sagging, jowl sagging, cheek sagging, jaw line sagging, and those with damaged skin in the low neck area to recover the skin. With Focused Ultrasound (doublo, ultherapy), the facial oval can be recovered, the eyebrow can be lifted, the goose foot lines can be reduced, the neck and low neck skin can be tightened, and the pores can be tightened.

As the activity of cells and the synthesis of collagen and elastin increase, the tension and vigor effects felt and noticed on the skin become more pronounced. After the first effects lasting about 3 months, the effects increase to the highest level towards the sixth month. After an average of a year, the effects of the application gradually decrease. In order to maintain the effects provided, the application can be repeated and the desired effects can be renewed. In short, there is a noticeable lifting immediately after Focused Ultrasound.
