Advantageous for fast treatment speed and pain management owing to wide heating area of linear type HIFU treatment.
As the society is approaching an aging society and along with the trend of ‘baby face’, consumer’s interest in lifting picks up in the market of medical aesthetic device. As a result, the field of lifting is advancing from the needs of various age groups. The representative concerns may be wrinkles and sagging as people age as well as fat in cheeks and chin, which can be easily seen in younger ages. While people were more concerned about pigmentation such as visible blemishes, skin disease, etc. in the past, people are more interested in lifting treatments in recent years as the interest about skin is increasing. They tend to expect immediate results by the lifting treatments in certain parts of the face and body such as eyebrows and thighs.
In accordance with these trends, many medical device companies are scrambling to release lifting devices using various technologies. Many medical aesthetic devices manufacturers are releasing lifting devices, with various technologies and functions, led by radiofrequency and ultrasound. Moreover, consumers concern about which device, among a range of devices, is effective and efficient to which part.
A device utilizing HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) or MFU (Micro Focused Ultrasound) is the most popular lifting device to represent. In this HIFU market, ‘ULTRAcel Q+’ is the device with the application of the most recent technology, LIFU (Linear Focus Ultrasound).
Linear type cartridge of ULTRAcel Q+ made to irradiate energy as line by extremely reducing the spacing between dots.
Existing devices using HIFU and MFU are mostly employing dot type cartridge. Although dot type cartridge method can deliver strong energy, it also has a disadvantage that it offers narrow heating area. Linear type cartridge was made to irradiate energy in a line by extremely reducing the gap between dots in order to overcome this disadvantage. ‘Linear Firm’, which can use not only linear type cartridge but also the conventional dot type cartridge, has shortened the treatment time due to wider heating area leading to be beneficial in pain management.
Seunghee Lee, M.D of YLAS Clinic, who is using various lifting devices, introduced ‘ULTRAcel Q+’ to her clinic. Lee evaluated ‘ULTRAcel Q+’ saying “It is efficient in energy loss control between the dots due to linear method unlike the existing dots method and the most appealing points of it are the faster speed”.
Dr. Seunghee Lee said treatments using ‘ULTRAcel Q+’ draw more positive responses from the patients who have previous ultrasound lifting treatment experiences than those who have never experienced a lifting treatment before.
‘ULTRAcel Q+’ is composed of 7 linear type cartridges (2mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 11mm, 13mm) that enables various depth treatment and 8 dot type cartridges (1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 11mm, 13mm) . By selecting and using an appropriate cartridge depending on the treatment purposes , it can form coagulation zones on epidermis, dermis, SMAS layer, fat layer, etc., and also, it only take 3 minutes to irradiate 300 shots with a linear type cartridge.
Dr. Seunghee Lee said, “She recommends ‘ULTRAcel Q+’ to her patients having loosened skin elasticity but don’t have very much fat and who have undergone lifting treatments already. It is more spotlighted by those who have experiences with conventional lifting treatments. This is because it is good for pain management due to short treatment time, and also, it shows prompt results. Moreover, by using ‘ULTRAcel Q+’ with ‘InMode’, it can further maximize the effect of reducing fat and give skin elasticity and skin texture improvements”.
