When to seek it

For skin that has lost firmness.

Micro-focused ultrasound treats skin firmness. It does not restore volume: that is why, at the clinic, it complements hyaluronic acid instead of replacing it.

  • Facial laxity

    The skin becomes less firm and the contour loses sharpness, a common complaint from the age of 40.

  • Jawline

    When the skin along the jaw loses tension, the technology helps firm up the area.

  • Lax facial skin

    Skin firmness changes over time. Deep stimulation works on that quality of the skin, over the structure of the face.

How it works at the clinic

Technology as support, not as a substitute.

Skin firmness and structure are different things. When the face has lost support, it is hyaluronic acid that gives it back; micro-focused ultrasound takes care of the skin over that structure. That is why it is never an over-the-counter procedure: it comes in when the assessment calls for it.

  1. Assessment

    A reading of the face to understand whether the complaint is skin firmness, loss of structure or both.

    First consultation

  2. Plan

    If the technology makes sense, it goes into the plan together with whatever else the face needs, in the right order.

    In writing

  3. Session

    Done in the clinic’s technology room, with no incisions and no time off from your routine.

    By appointment

  4. Follow-up

Frequently asked questions

What people ask about this treatment.

What is micro-focused ultrasound?
It is a technology that focuses ultrasound energy on points in the deep layers of the skin, to stimulate firmness without cutting the skin.
Does micro-focused ultrasound fix a sagging face?
It works on skin firmness; it does not restore structure. When the face has sagged from loss of support, the plan usually combines the technology with hyaluronic acid. The assessment defines what your face needs.
What is the best treatment for facial laxity?
It depends on where the laxity comes from. If it is the skin, the technology helps; if it is lost structure, hyaluronic acid is what restores support. Often the best path combines both in the same plan.
Is there any downtime?
No. The procedure is done with no incisions and no time off from your routine. The clinic team gives you the aftercare guidance during the session.
When does the result show?
Gradually, as the skin responds to the stimulation. Follow-up takes place at the reviews set in the plan.
