Core Principles

Learn how the procedure works and what technologies and devices are used.

Three Depth TransducersTransducers at 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm depths enable layered, customized treatment.

DeepSEE Real-Time Ultrasound ImagingThe only FDA-cleared real-time ultrasound visualization, enabling precise treatment area confirmation.

Multi-Frequency (4·7·10 MHz)Multiple transducer frequencies (4, 7, 10 MHz) allow depth-specific energy delivery.

Micro-Focused Ultrasound to SMAS LayerMicro-Focused Ultrasound (MFU) delivers energy precisely to the SMAS layer, stimulating collagen and elastin regeneration.

TCP Focal Thermal Coagulation + Collagen Regeneration MechanismCollagen denaturation at each TCP induces a wound-healing cascade, leading to neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling over time. Increased expression of Type I procollagen and elastin fiber remodeling are reported in the dermis of the MFU-treated area. Clinical changes gradually appear over 2-6 months as collagen remodeling progresses. (Source: Suh et al. 2011 Dermatol Surg; Alam et al. 2010 JAAD; Pavicic 2022)
