NEW!!! HIFU – Non-surgical Ultrasound Face and Neck Lift

DOUBLO S – HIFU

Innovative lower face/neck lift procedure

SMAS lift, Ultrasound lift with DOUBLO S

DOUBLO S is an innovative device that uses state-of-the-art High Intensity Focused Ultrasound with Double Pulse Technology to lift face and neck loose skin. The technology is known as HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound). activates the skin’s natural regenerative response without surgery or damaging the surface of the skin. It targets the deep dermis, subcutaneous fat and the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS). With continued collagen remodelling long after treatment, you achieve remarkable facial contouring and youthful skin.

e иновативен апарат, използващ микрофокусиран ултразвук с висока интензивност за неоперативен лифтинг на лице и шия. Технологията е известна под името „Хай Фу“ от английското съкращение HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound). The device targets precisely the deep structural layers of the skin without damaging the surface of the skin to achieve lifting and tightening of face and neck.

Unlike the other devices for tightening and lifting the face such as lasers, radio frequency skin lift devices and IPL that target different skin layers, HIFU targets much deeper dermis known as the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS). The SMAS layer is composed of collagen and elastic fibers and can be compared to a frame scaffolding soft facial tissues. Over time collagen in SMAS layers decreases, resulting in skin laxity, folds and wrinkles. If we want to achieve effective face lift, we need to stimulates collagen within the SMAS layer. The lift affect lasts for about 2 years depending on individual factors.

Indications for „HIFU”– non-surgical SMAS lift:

  • age-related changes
  • double chin
  • loss of volume in the cheek area
  • loose neck skin
  • loss of face and jawline contour
  • deep nasolabial folds
  • drooping mouth corners
  • sagging eye lids and brow area
  • Gravity ptosis – sagging skin

What is Doublo S ?

doublo-s is a device for non-surgical treatment using HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to lift and tone loose or sagging skin by activating the skin’s natural regenerative abilities.

How is this procedure different from other treatments?

doublo-s provides a non-surgical treatment addressing the deeper skin layers known as SMAS layer and deep dermis and inducing skin tightening preventing surgery.

What are the effects of Doublo S on skin?

Doublo uses HIFU to deliver ultrasound energy deep into the structural layers of the skin to stimulate the production of collagen fibres resulting in skin tightening and lifting in the treated area.

Which zones can be treated?

doublo-s can be used to lift brows, upper and lower face, chin, nech and face. лице.

How does HIFU technology influences collagen fibres?

Collagen is a natural protein in our bodies that gives our skin strenght, vitality and elasticity. Our body’s collagen production naturally begins to slow down as we age.As the sound waves bypass the surface of the skin, they rapidly heat the dermal and sub-dermal tissue, causing a low-level injury to the tissue. The body starts ‘healing’ itself, the tissue stimulates the production and organisation of fresh collagen fibres aiming to heal the injured tissues.

How is Doublo different from lasers?

Lasers address the superficial layers of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes) while doublo-s reaches to the deeper skin layers which are usually targeted in cosmetic surgery that lift the skin. Therefore, laser procedures and doublo-s are quite different, but they complement one another in achieving optimal results.

Who is suitable for a DOUBLO S treatment?

Some people prefer the drastic change in appearance after cosmetic surgery. Others prefer the slower and cumulative improvement resulting from non-surgical treatments without downtime. Doublo-s is suitable for the latter. It enhances skin texture and tone. When anti-aging are not enough to improve skin texture and surgical intervation is undesirable, doublo-s is the effective solution.

The treatment is best suited for clients who have mild-to-moderate skin laxity, lowered eyebrow line or sagging skin on the eyelids. Doublo-s lifts eyebrows, reduses excess skin above eyelids, open eyes and gives skin its youtfulness.

doublo-s is an option for people who are not willing to undergo plastic surgery (face lift surgery) due to psychological factors or financial constrictions.

How long does the procedure take?

Doublo S treatment of face takes between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours depending on the area that is treated. To lift parts of the face takes about 30 minutes.

How long do results last?

Clients can see the immediate effect of tightened skin after the treatment but optimal results can be seen within 3 to 6 months while the collagen building process continues.

Patients treated with Doublo still have fresh young collagen for years following the procedure, but skin continues to age. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process, which varies by individual. Yet, the effects can be visible up to 2 years after the treatment.

How many treatments do I need?

Most patients only need one treatment but some patients may need more than one treatment depending on skin laxity and body’s biological response to the ultrasound and collagen production process. More than one treatment can be performed upon physician’s decision.

Is there any downtime?

As Doublo is a non-invasive procedure, there is no downtime. You may return to your normal activities after the treatment.

What to expect after the treatment:

It is possible to experience slight swelling for about 2-3 days following the treatment.

Clients can see the immediate effect of tightened skin after the treatment but optimal results can be seen within 3 to 6 months while the collagen building process continues.

The treatment do not involve anaesthesia or skin cooling.

One of the main adavantages of HIFU non-surgical SMAS lift is that there is no downtime and the effect can be compared to the effect of a successful facelift surgery.

Is the treatment weather dependent? Is it suitable for all skin types?

The treatment can be performed all year round and is suitable for all skin types.

What is the sensation during the ultrasound treatment?

Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.

What can you compare the sentation to?

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated in the SMAS layer.

Are there any side effects?

The skin might appear flushed at first for about an hour after treatment. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are temporary in nature. Other, less common post-procedural effects may also appear and your physician will inform you about them.

Doublo-s is a medical device having a CE certificate that allows being used in the EU. The treatment have to be performed by qualified physicians trained in using HIFU and laser technologies.

It is non-invasive. Doublo is performed non-surgically, meaning, without any incision.

Safety. In contrast to other rejuvenation treatments such as radiofrequency (RF), laser devices that also stimulate the deep dermis, studies show that Doublo HIFU energy can help avoid damage to the epidermis, making it a safe treatment.

Effectiveness – Doublo is an effective equipment for fundamental ‘face lifting and tightening’ because it deeply delivers ultrasound energy into skin layer on 3.0mm to 4.5 mm. Patients can see a visible lifting effect following the procedure.

Painless procedure.  The pain from this procedure is relatively less than other laser procedures. You may experience discomfort during treatment. However, it is only temporary and treatable with simple pain management. Depending on skin areas and depth of treatment, you may experience redness or swelling, which disappears within 24 hours. Most can apply makeup after treatment. There is no downtime, no scars, and no risk of looking overdone.

Safer Alternative to Surgical Face Lift. Doublo is an option to patients who want a face lift but are not quite ready to go under the knife. Contrary to before, where only plastic surgeons are the ones who can perform face lift, dermatologists can now perform non-surgical face lift – Doublo. Both specialties have a great deal of experience with facial aging. Either a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon can discuss the benefits of Doublo versus surgical face/neck lift.
