"What is HIFU (Ultracell Zi)?"

This is the latest sagging treatment device called a ``no-cut facelift''.By treating all three layers that cause sagging, the epidermis, dermis, and fascial layer (SMAS) at once, more effective sagging care can be achieved.

In addition, because the pain is less than that of conventional treatment machines, it is now possible for people who are not good at previous sagging treatment to receive it.It is a non-invasive treatment that does not cause any damage to the skin, so it is less stressful to the skin and has almost no downtime.Make-up can be applied immediately after the treatment, so you can easily lift up your face and make your face look smaller.

What is HIFU (Ultracel Zi)?

Lift without cutting!For a neat face line

Ultracell Zi HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound), a treatment method used in various medical fields, applies heat in a pinpoint pattern to the SMAS fascia, which is located deeper than the dermis. This causes collagen contraction, resulting in an immediate lifting effect. Compared to a facelift, this treatment takes less time and places less strain on the body, and can be combined with other treatments.

It can be applied not only to the cheeks but also to a wide range of areas such as the eyes, forehead, and neck.

What is SMAS fascia?

It is a thin membrane that lies between the fat layer and muscle layer, which is deeper than the skin, and is made of collagen.Weakness of the SMAS fascia due to aging etc. causes sagging.
