SMAS lifting is often referred to as a non-surgical facelift. It is a safer alternative to surgery. The cosmetic procedure is carried out using an ultrasonic device that affects the musculoaponeurotic system of the skin or the so-called SMAS layer. As a result, regeneration mechanisms are launched in the dermis, collagen, elastin and other connective tissues begin to be produced.
This procedure is recommended to be carried out not earlier than 35-40 years, when the active phase of skin aging occurs.Its signs are the presence of deep wrinkles, flabbiness, loss of facial contours, drooping of the eyebrows and corners of the lips.
The effect of the procedure
One SMAS lifting session takes an average of 60 minutes. Ultrasonic waves reach a depth of up to 4.5 mm, activating elastin, muscle and collagen fibers. As a result, changes are already noticeable after the first procedure. The skin becomes more toned, elastic, the oval of the face becomes clearer, sagging around the eyelids, cheeks, cheekbones, second chin decreases, puffiness and fat deposits decrease.
Benefits of SMAS lifting
No mechanical damage. Unlike surgical procedures, there are no external lesions on the skin after a SMAS facelift. It is believed that the dermis is restored after 2 weeks. However, this is an internal process that makes the skin look better on the outside almost immediately. In general, there is no serious rehabilitation period.
High efficiency. Ultrasound affects the deep layers of the skin, so that even in elderly patients, skin rejuvenation becomes very noticeable. At the same time, there is no effect of a drawn face or distortion of individual features.
No restrictions. Ultrasonic lifting can be performed on any part of the face, neck, and body. If desired, you can limit yourself to just one session. There are also no restrictions on skin type or season.
Versatility. SMAS lifting is well combined with other techniques. Within a few weeks after the procedure, fillers, Botox and other rejuvenation methods can be used.
Disadvantages of the procedure
The main disadvantage of SMAS lifting is associated with a large list of contraindications.The procedure can not be done in case of diabetes mellitus, oncological diseases, inflammatory processes in the skin, diseases of the connective tissues and blood, during pregnancy, in the case of the use of retinol and products based on it, as well as other ailments.
The second serious drawback is that the procedure gives a temporary effect. The result from the same surgical facelift lasts much longer. On average, after 1.5-2 years, a repeated series of procedures will be needed. And given the high cost of SMAS-lifting, this is a rather short period.
It is also worth noting that sometimes after a hardware procedure, hematomas or other microdamages appear on the skin. In the worst case, if it is done by an unprofessional cosmetologist, nerve endings may be affected.
