To help you better understand this topic, I have prepared a guide with frequently asked questions. Let’s begin?
How Does Microfocused Ultrasound Work?
Microfocused ultrasound is a technology that uses high-intensity ultrasound waves. In this way, it reaches the deeper layers of the skin, including the dermis and the muscle fascia, and even the fat.
These waves create micro-points of thermal coagulation, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, promoting the lifting effect and improving skin firmness.
Basically, the device emits ultrasonic waves that heat the tissues at specific depths, between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius. This heating causes microthermal lesions that trigger the inflammatory process.
In response, the body starts producing new collagen and elastin fibers. It also helps contract the existing fibers. The result is firmer skin with less sagging and a more youthful appearance.
What Are the Benefits of Microfocused Ultrasound?
The benefits of microfocused ultrasound are notable, especially for those seeking skin rejuvenation and firmness. The main benefit of the microfocused ultrasound treatment is the improvement in skin firmness. The procedure can be performed on the face, neck, and décolletage, combating mild to moderate sagging. It also:
- Promotes a facial lifting effect without the need for cuts or surgery
- Increases collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and texture
- Reduces fine lines and expression lines, providing a more youthful appearance
- Helps improve facial contour, as well as the appearance of the double chin, which is quite interesting.
One of the benefits of microfocused ultrasound is that the procedure does not require incisions or general anesthesia. Recovery is quick, and the patient can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Which Areas Can Be Treated with Microfocused Ultrasound?
The most common areas for microfocused ultrasound treatment are the face, including the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheekbones, jawline, and chin. It can also be performed on the neck to treat sagging and improve contour.
The décolletage is another area that benefits from the treatment, helping to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. Additionally, it can be used on the body in areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs to treat sagging.
How Many Sessions Are Necessary?
Generally, one session already shows results; however, one to three sessions may be recommended to optimize the outcome. The number of sessions varies according to each patient’s needs and will be evaluated during a consultation.
How Long Do the Results Last?
There is no specific timeframe; however, the most significant results of microfocused ultrasound are observed in the first year. Obviously, this will depend on each individual’s body and lifestyle habits. It is recommended to have annual maintenance sessions, which can prolong the effects of the treatment.
Is Microfocused Ultrasound Painful?
The procedure may cause discomfort or a sensation of heat during the application. The intensity varies from person to person, but it is generally well tolerated.
Some professionals use topical anesthetics to minimize this discomfort.
Contraindications
Microfocused ultrasound is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with autoimmune diseases, active infections in the treatment area, metallic implants in the region, or recent fillers. It is essential to undergo a medical evaluation to determine if the treatment is suitable for you.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, it is important to use sunscreen daily, avoid excessive sun exposure, and keep the skin well hydrated.
The professional may provide you with other specific instructions depending on your case. It is essential to consult a qualified professional.

Não se arrisque. Sempre procure um médico experiente. Aqui, tratamos cada paciente como único, entregando o nosso melhor com dedicação, carinho e responsabilidade. Um abraço, conte conosco.” Dr. Szerman
