Treatment Overview
The Ultra K-Lift Renewal uses micro-focused ultrasound energy (Ultherapy) to penetrate deep into the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), the same tissue layer lifted in surgical facelifts. By heating this foundation layer, the treatment stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, leading to tighter, firmer, and more lifted skin over time.
Unlike fillers or thread lifts, this treatment relies on natural regeneration—making results subtle yet powerful, with a focus on balanced rejuvenation across the face and neck.
