SMAS lifting is the only procedure approved by the FDA for lifting and rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as for the correction of wrinkles.
The principle of the procedure is as follows:
- with the help of a safe exposure to a sensor with micro-focused ultrasound on various layers of the skin - from superficial to SMAS (musculoaponeurotic system), they are heated pointwise;
- after such exposure, new young collagen and elastin are actively produced, which allows you to tighten and tighten the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, as well as correct wrinkles;

- the result after the procedure lasts up to 2 years
- one procedure is enough to achieve a visible effect
The system uses ultrasound to tighten and tighten the skin. The initial lifting observed immediately after the procedure is due to the increase in tissue density under the influence of temperatures, denaturation (changes) and reduction of collagen in certain areas.
Does the procedure have side effects? Is she safe? These are two very common questions about this procedure. Our short answer is yes, the procedure is generally safe.
This is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure for the body and face. It uses highly focused intense ultrasonic energy to tighten and lift the skin by gently heating the tissues and stimulating the body's collagen formation process.
SMAS lifting is a type of facelift surgery that lifts sagging skin, cheek fat pads, and major muscles in the middle and lower face and neck. Excess skin is also removed during this operation.

Advantages of lipofilling:
- the result is noticeable and safe, because the body's own fat is used
- fat is easily transplanted to other parts of the body, it is surrounded by blood vessels and tissues, therefore, skin tissues will be less subject to movement or displacement
- lipids can be stored and reused for injection
Disadvantages:
Due to the use of anesthetic substances, severe swelling occurs in the first days.

Thread lifting
