Treatment Overview
The Tea Tree Refresh Lift uses micro-focused ultrasound energy (Ultherapy) to penetrate into the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System)—the same deep tissue layer targeted in surgical facelifts. This stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration, creating long-lasting lift and firmness.
Following the lifting session, tea tree–infused serums and calming care are applied to refresh and soothe the skin, controlling oil and preventing post-treatment irritation. This unique combination ensures a lifted, youthful look with clearer, healthier skin.
