Ulthera SPT

Non Invasive Face Lifting & Tightening

Ulthera SPT is a skin-lifting innovation from the USA. It utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to stimulate collagen production in the deep skin layers for a lifting effect. With MFU-V (Microfocus Ultrasound with Visualization) technology, doctors can visualize the skin in real time, enabling precise treatment planning and energy delivery to the targeted skin layers. The lifting results can last up to 12 months, with individual results varying depending on skin condition and self-care.

FAQ.

Is Ulthera SPT painful?

Patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment due to the concentrated ultrasound energy, which generates heat between 60-70°C. This heat contracts elastin fibers and stimulates new collagen production, resulting in skin tightening. However, topical numbing cream ensures patient comfort throughout the procedure.

When will I see Ulthera SPT results, and how long will they last?

Initial changes can be noticed immediately after treatment, with more significant results appearing within 2-3 months. Depending on individual skin conditions, concerns, and post-treatment care, the lifting and tightening effects can last up to 12 months.

Is there downtime after Ulthera SPT?

There is zero downtime. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately. However, following post-treatment instructions from your physician is crucial for optimal results.

Is Ulthera SPT safe?

Yes, Ulthera SPT is safe and has received international certifications, including:

- U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- Thai Food and Drug Administration (TFDA)
- Ulthera SPT is also trusted and used in leading clinics worldwide and in Thailand.

Can Ulthera SPT be combined with other treatments?

Ulthera SPT can be combined with other treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, and other skin tightening procedures, including:

However, consulting with your physician before combining treatments to achieve desired results and minimize potential side effects is essential.

Before treatment

Consult with a physician for personalized assessment and treatment planning.
Discontinue the use of certain medications, such as aspirin, vitamins, dietary supplements, and alcoholic.
Be sure to get enough rest.
Inform your physician of any concerns, including the presence of implant or electronic medical devices, before treatment.

After treatment

Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, or activities that expose the skin to excessive heat for 4-5 days post-treatment.
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher regularly and consistently.
Refrain from massaging or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 1 week.
Maintain adequate hydration by drinking plenty of water.
Consult your physician or the clinic immediately if you experience any abnormal symptoms, such as persistent swelling, redness, or irritation.
Adhere strictly to your physician’s post-treatment instructions to achieve optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.

Potential after treatment side effects

Swelling and Redness
Some patients may experience mild swelling and redness post-treatment due to using concentrated energy for skin tightening.
Tenderness or Discomfort
Areas treated near the bone, such as the jawline or cheekbones, may experience temporary tenderness or discomfort.

These symptoms are transient and may or may not occur. The risk of side effects can be minimized by seeking treatment from a qualified and experienced physician at a reputable clinic or medical facility with proper licensing and treatment certifications.

Precautions for Ulthera SPT treatment

Precautions for
Ulthera SPT treatment

Inexperienced or Unskilled Physicians An unskilled physician may deliver energy to unintended areas. Choose a qualified and experienced physician with specific Ulthera SPT training and relevant certifications.
Counterfeit or Non-Standard Devices Counterfeit HIFU devices resembling Ulthera SPT or uncertified devices may deliver inconsistent energy, cause skin burns, or produce unsatisfactory results. Ensure the clinic uses genuine Ulthera SPT devices certified by Merz Aesthetics, verifiable by the presence of certification stickers or importer’s certificates.
Substandard Energy Delivery Patients’ pain tolerance varies. If a patient experiences excessive discomfort during treatment, the physician may reduce the energy level, diminishing treatment efficacy. To address concerns, consult your physician before treatment to extend topical anesthetic application time for increased comfort.
Overly Frequent Treatments Ulthera SPT delivers thermal energy to the subdermal layers, requiring skin recovery time for collagen stimulation and lifting. Visible results typically appear within 2-3 months post-treatment. Overly frequent treatments may damage skin structure, leading to volume loss.
Improper AFTER Treatment Skin Care Failure to adhere to post-treatment instructions or inadequate skin care may lead to adverse effects, such as hyperpigmentation or skin irritation. Follow your physician’s instructions diligently, use non-irritating skin care products, and regularly apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50+.
