Ultra Lift 3D HIFU - A safe alternative to plastic surgery
Ultra Lift 3D HIFU Treatment in Round Rock, Austin TX is a safe, highly effective, and gentle alternative to plastic surgery. In most cases, Ultra Lift 3D HIFU can be performed within 60 minutes, receiving a quick and convenient procedure as compared to invasive surgeries that can take several hours to complete. During your visit, clients feel comfortable during the service with the application of a numbing agent for 25 minutes prior to starting. Ultra Lift 3D HIFU is completely safe and pain-free, for some clients redness and/or puffiness is common but most often there are no side effects. 


How does Ultra Lift 3D HIFU work?

Targeting the tissue at ~65°C, Thermal Heat is created within the skin tissue creating both impact and light inflammation to cellular walls and subcutaneous fat - which in turn promotes healing, immediately contracts collagen and stimulates rapid production of elastin fibers, the flexible part of our skin. 

This treatment works by targeting the three layers of your skin tissue at different depths, depending on your facial structure and aesthetic goals. The energy from the ultrasound energy targets your subcutaneous fat, deep skin tissue, and superficial skin tissue.

 

The heat from this ultrasound energy stimulates your body’s production of collagen and elastin. The result is tight, smooth skin that looks years younger than it did before treatment.

Is Ultra Lift 3D HIFU safe?
Ultra Lift 3D HIFU is a safe and effective non-surgical procedure which has been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in achieving  a more youthful appearance. This FDA approved treatment has been performed safely for many years and most importantly it uses 3D HIFU ultrasound energy which makes it a safer non-invasive method for skin tightening and collagen rejuvenation.

What are the benefits of Ultra Lift 3D HIFU?

Over the next 21-90 days, the wound-healing response stimulates long-term tissue growth and leads to further lifting and tightening, with results that can last years. 

How should I prepare for treatment?

Because this treatment is non-invasive, there is little preparation required in advance of your treatment session. Avoiding coffee or high amounts of caffeine the day of your treatment may allow for your body to feel more relaxed. Scheduling around monthly cycles or times where the body can be less sensitive is also reccomended. 

The good news is that you may eat, drink, work out, and proceed as you usually would before treatment, just avoid extreme cold temperatures for three days after the treatment.

 

We encourage clients to come in with little to no makeup, yet your face should be well moisturized as normal. You are free to take NSAIDs before treatment but is not reccomended for three days after. If you’re worried about discomfort, let us know during your consultation. We’ll will provide a topical numbing solution so you don’t feel anything during treatment.

How often or how many treatments will I need?

Almost all of our clients find that they only need 1-2 treatments per year to achieve their ideal aesthetic balance. However, people with aged skin or significant collagen loss may find they need more treatments spaced four to six months apart to achieve their desired aesthetic look. After this, we recommend monthly maintenance treatments of other services like microneedling to maintain their desired results and goals.  

Your results depend on several factors, lifestyle and diet, whether you smoke, how often you expose yourself to intense amounts of sun/UV rays, your age, amount of water you drink and the current health of your collagen. Just because you may still see results lasting two years from now, doesn’t mean you should only receive this treatment every other year.

 

We strongly recommend that our clients receive Ultra Lift twice a year as part of their regular skincare routine to keep results active and consistent. That’s because this revolutionary non-surgical facelift encourages your body to produce new, healthy collagen, and this growth within the skin tissue begins in several weeks and up to several months.

Unlike a traditional facelift, with Ultra Lift there is minimal pain or discomfort associated with this treatment. Clients report that they feel relaxed and rejuvenated after treatment, as once they are done the healing starts and so do the recovery benefits. 


When will I see results?

One of the most significant benefits associated with this treatment is there is no downtime or recovery period associated with Ultra Lift. All work, exercise and outdoor leisure activities may be resumed immediately after treatment with no restrictions. Just avoid cold, snow-like temperatures for the first three days. 

 

Within one week of treatment, you will start to see the results. Depending on your skin's production rate of collagen, you may see your final results anywhere from two to three months after treatment. However, we strongly encourage our clients to come in for a follow-up appointment or schedule a monthly maintenance to continue the progress established here. 


Is Ultra Lift 3D HIFU safe for all skin types?

Ultra Lift 3D HIFU is perfect for all types of skin with minimal discomfort. This non-invasive procedure is an effective treatment for a facelift. This treatment utilizes collagen creating procedure of the human body instead of relying on neurotoxins or fillers to bring noticeable results. 3D HIFU ultrasound energy is directed under the skin at the appropriate temperature to trigger collagen regeneration. Regular treatments, repeated every 4-6 months may help diminish wrinkles & fine lines and results in skin tightening as well.

The heat metabolizes older collagen, making way for new more compact and organized fibers, resulting in less wrinkles.

Before beginning skin tightening treatments, it's essential that your skin hasn't experienced sun exposure, or fake tan, two weeks prior to your appointment.
