Ultracel Q+: A Superior Lifting Device Compared to Regular HIFU

  Today, we’re introducing the Ultracel Q+ lifting device from Korea, known for its fast, minimally painful, and excellent results. This machine is very popular in South Korea. In this article, Mingkwan Clinic will provide details on what makes Ultracel Q+ special.

What is Ultracel Q+?

  Ultracel Q+ is a premium non-surgical skin lifting device that uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). It works by emitting ultrasound waves (the same technology used for viewing fetuses in the womb or internal organs) under the skin without affecting the surface. These waves converge like a convex lens to create deep heat, stimulating collagen and elastin production, tightening the skin, reducing wrinkles, and dissolving fat. This process leaves no scars, requires no downtime, and does not thin the skin. It is highly effective with minimal pain.

How is Ultracel Q+ Superior to Other HIFU Lifting Devices?

• Ultracel Q+ is a premium device from Korea, used in leading hospitals and clinics worldwide.
• It has been researched and published in medical journals, comparing it to Ulthera, a standard lifting device approved by the USFDA.
• Ultracel Q+ is certified by the Korean and Thai Food and Drug Administration.
• It delivers high, stable energy precisely, with a specially designed head that minimizes pain during treatment.
• Ultracel Q+ is the world’s first device with a special head that emits energy in lines (Linear Firm), providing a larger treatment area compared to point-based systems. It can deliver bulk heating similar to Radiofrequency (RF) devices like Thermage.
• It has 14 different heads, making it suitable for treating all skin layers.

What Can Ultracel Q+ Do?

  Ultracel Q+ tightens loose skin, lifts eyelids, reduces fine wrinkles, stimulates collagen and elastin production, making the skin look firm and plump. Unlike other HIFU devices, it can also dissolve fat, effectively contouring the cheeks and reducing double chin with minimal pain.

• LIFU or Linear Firm is the world’s first head to emit energy in lines, providing a larger treatment area.

When Will You See Lifting Results After Treatment?

What is the Procedure Like?

1. Clean the skin area thoroughly.
2. Apply topical anesthesia for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Wipe off the anesthesia.

5. Clean off the gel, apply moisturizer and sunscreen.

How to Care for Your Skin After Ultracel Q+?
