ULTRACel Q+ is a cosmetic medical device that can be used to tighten the skin by heat without causing burns.
Because of its short treatment time, a great many clinics have adopted this device.
Many women are concerned about their aging appearance because of sagging cheeks and jowls as they age.
For such patients, ULTRACel Q+ can provide a treatment without cutting the skin.
In this issue, Dr. Takahiro Tsukahara, Director of the Tsukahara Clinic, will introduce the features and treatment cases of the ULTRACel Q+ dot type and linear type.

What is HIFU(3:12-)
HIFU is a High Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment.
It increases collagen by applying heat to the skin tissue to cause it to shrink, leading to the improvement of lax skin.
Since heat is applied to the dermis without causing injury to the skin’s surface, the treatment is less painful.
Another feature of HIFU is that there is little downtime.
Features of ULTRACel Q+ Dot Type (5:17-)
Treatment with the ULTRACel Q+ dot type can be expected to have a skin tightening effect.
Each of the dots is 65°C and stimulates collagen growth by localized application of the heat.
ULTRACel Q+ cartridges are available in 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.5 mm, which can be used for different areas.
Tips of the cartridges are compactly designed for good visibility and comfortable treatment.
In particular, the 2.0mm cartridge has an even finer tip, making it easier to treat fine areas such as around the eyes. Good visibility prevents the tip from jumping off or leaning at an angle and speeds up the irradiation process.
Treatment method and cases using ULTRACel Q+ dot type (8:58-)
For a cheek treatment using the dot type, 40 to 50 shots are fired on each side of the face using 4.5mm and 3.0mm cartridges.
The cheeks are further treated with 1.5mm cartridge.
Tightening with ULTRACel Q+ is expected to have the effect of reducing the nasolabial fold.

Features and Cases of ULTRAcel Q+Linear Type (13:33-)
ULTRACel Q+ has linear type cartridges as well as dot type cartridges.
Linear type cartridges have a high irradiation speed and require only half the treatment time of dot type cartridges.
There are four types of linear cartridges: 2.0 and 4.5 mm are used for the face, and 6.0 and 9.0 mm are used for the body.
Treatment with the linear type is expected to tighten fat, improve skin tone of the face, and improve pores.
Selecting the right equipment to use in sagging treatment (17:10-)
There are three types of devices used to treat sagging skin: HIFU, radiofrequency (RF), and infrared. The differences between each type of equipment are as follows
| Treatment Method | Depth of heat delivered | Treatment interval |
| HIFU (ULTRAcel Q+) | fascia (4.5mm) | Every 3 to 6 months |
| Radio Frequency(RF) | adipose layer (3.0mm) | Every 6 to 10 months |
| Infrared rays | dermal layer(1.5mm) | Every 1 to 2 month |
Since the effect depends on the depth of the skin layer that the heat reaches, it is advisable to select a treatment method based on the area to be approached.
HIFU can also approach the dermis and adipose layers because the depth of HIFU can be changed by replacing the cartridges.
If it is difficult to install multiple devices, ULTRACel Q+ is recommended, which can cover a wide range of cases.
Conclusion
The ULTRAcel Q+ dot type is expected to improve sagging and the linear type to tighten fat.
Its advantage is that a wide variety of cartridges can be used to treat various areas.
In recent years, many clinics have reduced the number of skin-cutting procedures, while non-surgical cosmetic treatments have increased.
ULTRACel Q+ is a treatment that stimulates collagen growth through heat. If you install it in your clinic, it is expected to attract patients who do not want to have their skin cut.
We hope you will consider installing this device.
