KCTU Monthly News - May 2004

Leading the way in this new wave of beauty technology for lifted cheekbones, jawline definition and smoother, tighter skin, you may have admired the results on Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian - both of whom are reported to be fans. Ultrasound energy is fired deep under the skin into the SMAS (the muscle that surgeons tighten when doing a facelift). The ultrasound stimulates the growth of new collagen over time, so it strengthens and tones the skin from within to make it look smoother and brighter on the outside. It’s also great for lifting the skin on the neck and under the chin. What I noticed was a definite tightening of the jawline and a lovely cheekbone-sculpting effect. “This has definitely transformed the perspective regarding a possible non-surgical face and neck lift,” says Dr Sebagh, “as this new technology has allowed us to deal with the musculoskeletal system of the face which is the key element in face lifting and brow lifting.”
