During treatment, the ultrasound created by the transducer is applied to tissue. This precise delivery of HIFU energy to the treatment area causes the targeted tissue molecules to vibrate. Heat is generated due to the friction between molecules, resulting in collagen denaturation and tissue destruction and cavitation.

Frequency determines the rate at which energy is absorbed by the tissue molecules. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Shorter wavelengths are the most effective on thinner tissue.

Following two to four treatments, patients see a significant improvement in areas such as the thin, nasolabial folds, cheeks, forehead, knees, upper arms and eyes.

ULTRAcel Q+ was designed to precisely target and naturally regenerate collagen, resulting in greater skin elasticity and a tighter, more contoured appearance.

Following extensive research, Cynosure has created a skin and body tightening solution that improves treatments as well as results.

• Faster treatment time. Unlike other solutions, ULTAcel Q+ can treat the entire face in 10 minutes and complete a partial body treatment in 15 – 30 minutes.
• Better visibility and accessibility. ULTRAcel Q+ works with slim cartridges, which offers on-the-spot convenience. Slimmer cartridges make hard-to-reach areas more accessible and visible. There is even a cartridge available for the eye rim, which can be one of the more difficult areas to treat.
• Wider treatment area capabilities. In order to accelerate treatment times, the ULTRAcel Q+ system was created to target wider treatment areas.
• Dot and linear capabilities. The different cartridges allow for dot and linear shots. Dot shots use temperatures over 65◦c in short duration to provide localised heating and tightening. Linear shots use temperatures over 58◦c to provide bulk heating and eliminate large volumes of fat.
• Reduced flushing and redness. Linear cartridges ensure that less flushing and redness occurs after treatment.
