Our face consists of different layers of tissues, one of which is a kind of a frame attaching the facial skin to the cranial bone, and maintaining its tone and mobility. With age, this framework loses the strength, the skin begins to sag, wrinkles and folds appear. As a result, the facial oval loses its shape, bags under eyes and second chin appear.
Cosmetology Center “Janvi” in Lviv offers an effective way to solve the consequences of this problem – the procedure of non-surgical ultrasonic facelifting “SMAS-lifting”.
SMAS is an acronym for “Superficial muscular aponeurotic system”. It is a layer of connective tissue located at a depth of 3.5 to 4 mm directly under the skin and subcutaneous fat. Previously, only surgeons could tighten the SMAS layer. Today, this procedure is performed without surgery, by using an ultrasound machine.
Advantages of SMAS-Lifting
The main advantage of this procedure is safety and almost complete absence of complications. Ultrasound has been used in medicine since the last century. Its safety has been repeatedly confirmed by numerous studies, as well, the state of the fetus in expectant mothers is examined with ultrasound.
- The whole procedure is performed superficially. During SMAS-lifting no skin incisions or punctures is done, which eliminates the risk of developing infectious and other post-surgical complications.
- SMAS-lifting has both instant and delayed result. Instant results are achieved by contraction of the SMAS-layer muscles, increase in their microcirculation and general toning effect. Delayed effect is realized in 2-4 months. It consists in rejuvenating the skin by stimulating the growth of collagen fibers, increasing blood circulation and triggering restorative mechanisms.
- One procedure is usually enough for a good result. Its effect is maintained for 2-3 years.
- One of the advantages of SMAS-lifting is the ability to combine with other cosmetology methods:
- contour plastic surgery with filler injection.
- biorevitalization;
- mesotherapy
This procedure is recommended for the following patients:

Ultrasonic SMAS-lifting is carried out in 5 stages:

- Ultrasound treatment of one half of the face or body.
- Outcome evaluation:after one half treatment,the patient is given a mirror so that he/she can evaluate the before and after result.
- Treatment completion:Treatment of the other part of the face or body.
