BONITA LASER

Deep layers, by ultrasound

About

The SMAS layer, reached by ultrasound: Ulthera

Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy deep into the skin down to the SMAS, supporting lifting without incisions.

It is used to address structural loss of firmness around the eyes, jawline, double chin and hollow cheeks, refining sagging and contours.

Point

How does Ulthera work?

01

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

High-intensity ultrasound energy is delivered precisely to the epidermis, dermis and SMAS layer.

02

Deep See™ technology

Ultrasound imaging shows the treatment area in real time, so energy is delivered safely and precisely.

03

SMAS targeted

It delivers ultrasound energy down to the SMAS beneath the skin.

Point

Bonita Ulthera

01

Treatment while viewing the skin layers on an ultrasound screen

Because the skin layers are viewed on screen during treatment, nerves and vessels are avoided and energy goes only to the depth needed.

02

Ultrasound lifting that reaches the SMAS layer

Without an incision, heat is delivered down to the SMAS beneath the skin to tighten sagging layers.

03

Targeted lifting by area is also possible (eyes, jaw, cheeks and more)

Shots are distributed only to the sagging areas rather than the whole face, and narrow areas such as around the eyes and the jawline are treated separately.

Check

What we check first, depending on your condition

If this appliesWhat we check
A sagging jawline or double chin
We look at the sagging area and distribute shots to the deep layer (SMAS)
Mild sagging around the eyes and mouth
Narrow areas are treated separately at a shallower depth
Hollow cheeks that make the face look saggy
We see whether ultrasound lifting alone is enough, or whether another treatment such as fat grafting is needed
Worried about pain
We choose between numbing cream and sedation
