ULTRAcel Q+ FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
The ULTRAcel Q+ is a next-generation High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology designed to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and tighten skin. It is the world’s first and only linear-shot cartridge (LinearFirm) dedicated to fat dissolution, further reducing pain. ULTRAcel Q+ is an effective non-surgical treatment that promotes neocollagenesis and is almost three times faster than other HIFU treatments, resulting in minimal discomfort and quicker treatment times. Here, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about this innovative technology.
1. Is ULTRAcel Q+ the same as HIFU?
Yes, ULTRAcel Q+ is a type of HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment. It uses focused ultrasound energy to tighten and lift skin.
2. Does the ULTRAcel Q+ really work?
Yes, ULTRAcel Q+ is an effective non-surgical treatment for lifting and tightening skin. It stimulates collagen production to improve skin laxity and texture.
3. Is ULTRAcel Q+ painful?
No, ULTRAcel Q+ is not painful. Some patients may feel a mild, temporary sensation during the treatment, but no anaesthesia is required. The treatment is designed to be comfortable.
4. Does ULTRAcel Q+ melt fat?
Yes, in addition to skin tightening, ULTRAcel Q+ can help dissolve fat in areas like the double chin, using its unique LinearFirm technology. However, it only dissolves fat when we want it to, using the specific cartridge for the machine. ULTRAcel Q+ will not destroy any fat cells when used for lifting and tightening.
5. What is LIinearFirm technology that ULTRAcel Q+ is known for?
ULTRAcel Q+ is known for its LinearFirm technology, which allows it to target fat in specific areas, such as the double chin, upper arms, and bra line. This technology helps in contouring the body by dissolving fat pockets without the need for invasive surgery.
6. How many sessions of ULTRAcel Q+ do you need?
The number of sessions needed depends on the individual patient's goals and skin condition. Most patients see results after a single treatment, but additional sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
7. How long does it take for ULTRAcel Q+ to see results?
Generally, you will notice some improvement immediately after treatment, but the full results develop gradually over 2-6 months as new collagen is produced.
8. Can ULTRAcel Q+ damage your skin or nerves?
No, ULTRAcel Q+ is a safe, non-invasive treatment that does not damage the skin surface or nerves. The ultrasound energy is precisely targeted to the deeper layers of the skin.
9. Can I have Botox injections after ULTRAcel Q+?
ULTRAcel Q+ can be combined on the same day as Botox injections for a fully refreshed result.
10. Which is better ULTRAcel Q+ or Microneedling?
They are different treatments that address skin concerns in unique ways. If you want to lift and tighten the skin, ULTRAcel Q+. If your goal is to improve the texture of your skin, Microneedling. It is common practice to provide the two treatments for overall skin rejuvenation. HIFU works to target the deepest skin layers where Microneedling targets the upper (superficial) skin layer.
11. Is ULTRAcel Q+ better than Dermal Fillers?
HIFU and dermal fillers have different applications and are complementary treatments that work in different ways. ULTRAcel Q+ stimulates collagen to tighten and lift skin, while fillers add volume. The best option depends on your goals and skin condition.
12. Can you drink alcohol after ULTRAcel Q+?
The doctor’s recommendation is that it is best to avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 48 hours post-treatment to allow your body’s healing capabilities to get to work. It's best to avoid anything that may cause irritation or inflammation until the skin has fully recovered.
13. Can ULTRAcel Q+ cause pigmentation?
No, ULTRAcel Q+ does not cause any pigmentation issues. In fact, Ultracel Q+ represents a cutting-edge solution in the realm of melasma management. The advanced technology uses the power of ultrasound to target pigmentary concerns deep within the skin, without causing damage to the skin's surface.
14. Can ULTRAcel Q+ help with dark spots?
ULTRAcel Q+ can improve overall skin texture and tone by stimulating collagen, there is no research to specifically highlight it as a treatment for dark spots or hyperpigmentation. Other targeted therapies may be more effective for these concerns.
15. Is ULTRAcel Q+ better than the Ultraformer III?
ULTRAcel Q+ and Ultraformer III are different technologies that address skin concerns in unique ways. ULTRAcel Q+ uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. It is highly effective in contouring and overall skin rejuvenation—in these areas, the ULTRAcel Q+ outperforms the Ultraformer III.
ULTRAcel Q+ is also praised as being the world’s fastest HIFU technology and almost pain-free whereas many report that the Ultraformer III is not as comfortable a procedure.
