Treatment Overview
Diamond V-Lift Therapy uses micro-focused ultrasound energy (Ultherapy technology) to target the SMAS layer, the same deep tissue layer lifted during surgical facelifts. By delivering controlled thermal energy into this layer, the treatment stimulates new collagen and elastin production, gradually tightening and lifting the skin.
What makes the Diamond V-Lift special is its focus on the jawline and lower face contour, ensuring sharper definition and balance, while still treating overall facial laxity for a complete anti-aging transformation.
Purpose and Benefits
- V-Line Contouring: Slims and defines the jawline for a youthful silhouette.
- Cheek & Lower Face Lift: Restores firmness to sagging cheeks and marionette lines.
- Skin Tightening: Reduces laxity in the face and neck.
- Collagen Stimulation: Promotes natural rejuvenation for long-lasting effects.
- Non-Surgical Alternative: Provides facelift-like results without incisions or downtime.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines around the mouth, eyes, and chin.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Helps maintain youthful elasticity in younger patients.
