Day-to-day our faces are constantly subjected to movement and pressure – when we smile, Dr Annelize Meyer sleep, talk, shout, cry or laugh – which can aesthetic practitioner Meyer Clinic, Chichester take its toll on levels of elastin and collagen. IG: @meyerclinic Over time, the interplay of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors such as UV exposure and pollutants break down the collagen in the skin, weakening the fibres and causing loss of skin elasticity, which contributes to sagging and laxity. Ultherapy® is a non-surgical micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) treatment that stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, helping to combat the skin’s sagging and laxity as we age.
2. HOW DOES IT WORK? Ultherapy® uses precise micro-focused ultrasound energy to heat the deep structural layers of the skin without disrupting the skin’s surface. After treatment, the body’s tissue repair process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, creating a lifting effect. 48
