01
MECHANISM
Ulthera

Where the energy
reaches

Ultrasound energy is focused past the skin surface onto the SMAS layer.

Focused ultrasound (HIFU) gathers several ultrasound beams at one point, creating heat only there.
With Ulthera, the position of the skin and the SMAS layer is confirmed directly on ultrasound imaging before delivery, so the depth can be set to each person's structure.

THE PO:VE WAY

The depth is confirmed by eye
before delivery.

Even with the same device, which layer and
how much is delivered changes both the result and the burden.

01
Decided by reading the layers

The position and thickness of the SMAS layer are confirmed on ultrasound imaging before the depth is set.

02
Step-by-step anaesthesia protocol

The method and timing of anaesthesia are divided by area and intensity, and pain is checked throughout.

03
Shot count at the consultation

Instead of a fixed package, the areas and shot count are planned from the diagnosis.

04

Procedure details

Duration
About 40–60 minutes (varies with shot count)
Anaesthesia
Anaesthetic cream · local anaesthesia if needed
Return to daily life
Possible on the day

Consultation · diagnosis

The specialist checks skin thickness and the degree of sagging, then decides the scope.

02
Anaesthesia · preparation

The method and timing of anaesthesia are divided by area and intensity.

03
Procedure

The specialist carries out the procedure at the planned depth and output.

04
Recovery · review

We explain soothing care and home care, then review the change with you afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Does it hurt much?+

Because the deep layer is involved, you may feel the stimulation.
PO:VE lowers the burden with a step-by-step anaesthesia protocol and keeps checking the pain during the procedure to adjust the intensity.

When do results start to show?+

Collagen renewal takes place over time, so the change is often seen in the weeks that follow rather than right after the procedure.
This varies from person to person.

How is it different from Sofwave?+

Ulthera focuses energy as deep as the SMAS layer, while Sofwave delivers it in parallel to the mid dermis.
The choice depends on the depth of the sagging.

Can I book a consultation only?+

Yes. You are welcome to book a consultation for an assessment and a tailored plan, with no pressure to proceed.
