UltraLift SD Compact Training FAQ
Maschinengrundlagen
Q: What is the principle of HIFU?
A:
HIFU (Hochintensiver fokussierter Ultraschall) uses focused ultrasound energy to heat precise depths of tissue beneath the skin’s surface. It is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the deep layers of the skin, Förderung der Kollagenproduktion und dadurch Straffung, gestraffte Haut. Es wird häufig zur Gesichtsstraffung und Körperkonturierung verwendet.

Behandlung
Q: Was sind die Behandlungsschritte??
A:
Remove jewelry → Clean skin → Mark treatment lines → Apply coupling gel → Set parameters → Perform test shot → Determine client’s tolerance → Begin HIFU procedure → Wipe gel → Post-treatment care.
Q: Which areas should be avoided?
A: There have different forbidden area for different depths. The basic logic is to avoid nervy and bony area.
Q: Why should treatment avoid bony areas?
A:
Increased pain or discomfort – bone conducts ultrasound differently, so the patient may feel sharp or intense pain.
Higher risk of side effects – energy reflecting off bone can cause swelling, bruising, or even damage to surrounding tissue.
Unnecessary energy waste – since there isn’t much soft tissue between skin and bone in those areas, the energy doesn’t work effectively on collagen stimulation.
Q: What is the correct treatment order for the face (4.5mm → 3.0mm → 1.5mm)?
A: The correct order of HIFU face treatment is 5mm → 3.0mm → 1.5mm.
Q: Why must treatment proceed from deep to superficial layers?
A:
Präzision & Sicherheit
If you treat the superficial layer first, it can cause swelling or minor edema, which changes the skin’s thickness and makes it hard to target deeper layers accurately.
Starting deep ensures that the SMAS and dermis are treated correctly before the upper layers change shape.
Layered Lifting Effect
The deepest layer (SMAS, ~4.5 mm) provides the structural lift.
The middle dermal layer (3.0 mm) stimulates collagen for firmness.
The superficial layer (1.5 mm) improves skin texture and fine lines.
Doing it in order ensures the lift starts from the foundation upward, like building a house from the ground floor up.
Q: How many shots are recommended for each treatment area?
A:
Full face treatment with 3 verschiedene Tiefen: 350-550Schüsse
Neck with 3 Tiefe:100-200Schüsse
