What is Ultracel?
A combined HIFU and RF lifting procedure for multi-layer energy delivery
Uses ultrasound and radiofrequency simultaneously to improve elasticity from the epidermis to the SMAS layer.
Main causes & characteristics of Ultracel
Ultracel is known as a combination lifting procedure that delivers both high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radiofrequency (RF) energy to multiple tissue depths. The ultrasound is understood to target deeper layers such as the SMAS, while the RF stimulates the dermis, together inducing collagen contraction and regeneration. It is considered when multilayered elasticity management from the epidermis to deeper tissue is desired.
Managing Ultracel
Since two types of energy are used together, the procedure is performed in stages with different handpieces, and a stinging or warm sensation may occur during treatment. Temporary redness or swelling may appear immediately afterward. The combination and intensity of energies are adjusted according to individual skin condition and treatment area, making personalized planning important. Suitability and the treatment plan should be determined in consultation with a dermatologist.
Related information
Ultracel is often discussed alongside Ulthera (HIFU alone) and Thermage (RF alone). Its combination of both modalities in a single session is a commonly cited point of comparison with those individual treatments.
Everyday care tips
After multilayer stimulation, thorough moisturization and soothing care are recommended, along with consistent sun protection. If redness persists for an extended period, contact the clinic where the procedure was performed, and consulting a dermatologist is recommended.
