Which Among Ultrasound And Microcurrent Treatment Is Recommended For Skin Lifting, Reducing Wrinkles Under Eyes?

Hi, Dr. Grief. My name is Ela. Would you like to help me, please, to understand what is the difference between ultrasound and microcurrent treatment. Which one would you recommend for lifting the skin and - if possible - reducing wrinkles under the eyes. ( My age 60 ). There are lots of such devices for home care available in the market. I would like to buy one of them, and also products recommended to be used together with. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best in the New Year. Regards. Ela

Hi,
The layer of tissue under skin creates collagen in younger age & keeps skin firm. As the age advances, this layer looses it's ability to reproduce collagen & so the skin becomes loose ,wrinkles appear.
In ultrasound skin lifting treatment- skin is observed by ultrasound in full depth by ultrasound probe..The tissue level under the deep skin layers is viewed, then it is gently heated. The heating stimulates the natural ability of tissue to generate collagen.
The process takes about 30-60 minutes. As a result skin becomes firm & wrinkles are removed within coming 2-3 months time.
MIcrocurrent treatment for skin lifting is also a non surgical,treatment. here pads or probes are applied to the part to be treated. this releases microcurrent ( the person can not feel it )-which exercises muscles, stimulates collagen & protein production to get desired effect of skin lifting,reducing wrinkles,puffiness under eyes, chin,jaws sagging..
Thanks
