That

celebrities

turn every beauty treatment or trick they touch into gold is a fact.

Some are really crazy or even barbaric that we strongly recommend

not to do at home,

because they can be dangerous -like the tagline of the program 'Forged in fire'-.

Instead, other beauty secrets confirm that

a treatment or technology

is

truly effective.

And that is the case of the protocols with

Ultherapy,

a

Merz Aesthetics

technology that is accompanied by the surname, confirmed by the

FDA

(Food and Drug Administration of the United States government) of

lifting without surgery or non-invasive lifting.

To date, this anti-

aging treatment

, which, attention, can only be performed by

an expert doctor

in aesthetic medicine clinics, has more than

2 million successes

around the world.

From Merz they confirm that, since 2015, when

Jennifer Aniston

confessed in the American magazine InStyle that she loved Ultherapy, the actress repeats the protocol every year.

As a partner in the series 'Friends' and a friend today,

Courtney Cox

is also a user of this facial rejuvenation technique.

And, at The Beauty Concept, in Madrid,

Eugenia Silva

has just repeated.

The secrets of Ultherapy in facial rejuvenation: what it is and what results it achieves

Ultherapy is the only

non-invasive medical-aesthetic treatment

for the

rejuvenation, lifting

and remodeling of

the face, gaze, neck and décolletage

with FDA approval as a

non-invasive lifting.

What does this mean?

Well, basically it treats

sagging and sagging of the face and neck,

those effects that age has on the facial oval due to the loss and

degradation of collagen

that occurs naturally over time.

In fact, with

a single session,

a flash effect

is perceived ,

although the optimal results are achieved after

two or three months,

when the collagen has been gradually

formed,

tightening and lifting the skin on the face, the look, the neck and softening the lines of the neckline.

This almost magical global rejuvenation, since it does not require surgery or an arduous post-treatment (it is a '

lunch time procedure'

as the Americans say, with a

good face effect)

, is achieved through

high intensity

microfocused ultrasound

, which they apply intense heat (60º - 70ºC) in the subcutaneous layers of the skin, but

leaving the superficial layers intact.

It is accompanied by an

ultrasound control

visualization system that allows locating the area and the exact depth of the skin to be treated.

The application of heat through ultrasound achieves

neocollagenesis

(generation of new collagen) in the deepest layers of the skin, which, when healing as a defense against high temperatures

, contract the tissues,

guaranteeing

firm, smooth and more luminous skin.

All this has made it, for example, the

most requested medical treatment

at The Beauty Concept centers during 2021.

The complete protocol consists of the following steps:

  • The

    skin is thoroughly cleaned and

    topical anesthesia

    is applied

    to make it highly comfortable.

  • After 30 minutes, the anesthesia is removed and the specific

    ultrasound gel for

    the treatment is applied.

  • It is visualized

    by ultrasound

    to determine the

    optimal location

    for each shot.

  • Focused

    ultrasound energy is applied

    below the surface of the skin.

    During the treatment, it is normal to feel that the energy is deposited at precise depths, which will indicate the beginning of the collagen generation process.

In general, they say from Merz, it is completely

safe and painless

for the vast majority, although in some cases you may feel some discomfort in an isolated shot.

And, in terms of prices, it goes according to the areas to be treated, but the rates start

at 500 euros.

Specifically, at The Beauty Concept they have been performing Ultherapy (only with the help of an aesthetic doctor trained in this technology)

since 2017,

with a

personalized diagnosis

to analyze which areas are going to be treated, age, skin quality... The procedure in the face lasts between 60 and 90 minutes while localized treatments (eyes, mouth, neckline, chest) approximately 30 minutes.

If we talk about the complete protocol (face, neck and décolletage), 120 minutes.

In this Madrid center, its indicative prices range from 500 euros for the mouth and 600 for the look

to 2,900 for the full face and neck.

Doctors speak: the secret to Ultherapy's success

Although celebrities like

Jennifer Aniston and Eugenia Silva

do Ultherapy, and repeat -and they are not the only ones, in Spain also

Belén Rueda, Maribel Verdú, Nieves Álvarez or Juana Acosta-,

aesthetic doctors and experts in the field also ratify why This facelift without surgery is so popular.

For

Paz Torralba,

director of The Beauty Concept, it is "a powerful ultrasound technology whose task of

lifting, tightening and toning

stimulates the formation of collagen in very deep layers of the skin, leaving the surface intact. It is also the only treatment in whose definition the FDA authorizes to use the word lifting as a result of the treatment since it is conceived as

a lifting without surgery".

The three reasons

why Dr. Beatriz Beltrán loves Ultherapy are: "because it is a non-invasive treatment that

does not leave any type of mark;

because it allows the oval to be redefined

without changing the

facial expression, it is a regenerative and totally natural treatment, and

one session is enough

to see results."

Juanma Revellés

is a dermatologist at the Ricart Medical Institute and chooses this protocol because the approval of Ultyherapy as a facelift without surgery by the FDA is already

an accreditation

that provides greater safety and guarantee of treatment.

"It therefore allows

a facelift to be done in installments

that little by little and in a preventive way will work so that we do not have to resort to a surgical option", she underlines.

In addition, Revellés highlights

the safety of the treatment,

"because having a live ultrasound visualization allows us to know which structures we are treating and therefore we will not damage important structures and at the same time we can see where we are shooting to

maximize the efficiency of the treatment".

Ultherapy, by Merz, combines focused ultrasound with the precision of an ultrasound scanner to rejuvenate and firm the face, neck, décolleté...

And there is more.

Marta García,

dermatologist and medical promoter of the Ricart Medical Institute, Ultherapy has no equal in terms of

natural and long-lasting results,

so it is not surprising that it is the fashionable treatment that celebrities perform once a year to combat flaccidity before that it goes further, not to mention that

it can be combined with other treatments.

An Ultherapy user experience: "I looked like I was 20 years old"

Ultherapy is not the exclusive domain of celebrities.

It's not just for women.

Eduardo (57 years old) has just had his first session to treat aging and lack of firmness

in the eye area.

The protocol was quick, 10 minutes,

"it didn't hurt at all,

they applied an anesthetic cream to me first -and you know that men are more cowardly when it comes to physical pain-".

His session consisted of 80 ultrasound shots after having put a gel in the area so that the ultrasound machine glided easily.

The result?

"She looked like she was 20 years old."
