Ulthera, as it became famous in Brazil, works by crossing the skin, reaching the deep dermis. The big difference with this treatment is that it also manages to reach its deeper layers, such as the fascia (that is, the casing) of the facial muscles and, thus, the benefits are much greater.

No marks and no sagging

As it uses focused ultrasound, the Ulthera, at first, visualizes the deeper structures of the skin and then treats the necessary areas. The device launches waves that heat the deeper layers of the skin, exactly the areas responsible for the production of collagen, which is responsible for delaying sagging and giving the skin a smoother appearance and without marks.
