AVIQUE SIGNATURE / CUSTOM LIFTING

Signature
Custom Lifting

LAYERED LIFTING

Understanding depth.
Planning for your balance.

Skin elasticity, fat distribution and the tissues that support the face.
AVIQUE Signature Custom Lifting considers these structures together.

01 / UNDERSTANDING THE LAYERS

Changes in the face
involve more than one layer.

Similar-looking sagging can have different causes: skin laxity, the weight and distribution of fat, or changes in supporting tissue. We assess structure and expression before selecting treatment.

Five-layer facial soft-tissue concept diagram
  1. Skin · Epidermis and dermis

    The foundation of texture, fine lines and elasticity. Surface condition and skin thickness help guide energy settings and care.

  2. Subcutaneous fat

    Contributes to soft facial volume. We assess its amount and position, distinguishing areas to reduce from areas to preserve.

  3. SMAS · Connected to facial expression muscles

    Involved in expression and movement between the skin and deeper tissue. We consider the anatomical differences between areas.

  4. Deep spaces · Fat and retaining ligaments

    Contains deep fat and retaining ligaments. Understanding these relationships helps us assess facial contours and support.

  5. Deep fascia · Periosteum

    The foundation surrounding deeper structures. This explains facial anatomy; it does not mean every layer is treated with a device.

A simplified five-layer model of facial soft tissue. Actual structures and thickness vary by area and individual. Diagram spacing does not represent treatment depths or anatomical proportions. The skin itself comprises the epidermis and dermis.

Every face calls for its own plan.
A considered approach to each layer.

02 / OUR LIFTING TECHNOLOGIES

Different forms of energy.
One personalised plan.

Ultherapy PRIME · Coolsoniq · XERF · ONDA.

Image-guided planning.
Focused ultrasound lifting.

Real-time ultrasound imaging helps us assess tissue and select treatment depth and energy for the thickness and structure of each area.

COOLING + HIFU

CoolsoniqCOOLSONIQ

Focused ultrasound
with contact cooling.

Focused ultrasound is delivered with cooling at the skin-contact surface. Applicators are selected for the area and skin condition.

DUAL-FREQUENCY RF

XERFXERF

Dual-frequency RF
for skin firmness.

Uses 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz radiofrequency. Depth settings and energy levels are adjusted to skin condition when planning tightening treatment.

MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY

ONDAONDA

Considering volume
and firmness together.

Microwave energy targets subcutaneous fat and surrounding connective tissue. We consider fat distribution alongside the volume that should be preserved.

Microwave energy · Area-specific contouring

Device energies do not correspond one-to-one with anatomical layers. The tissue reached at a given depth can vary by area and individual. Product images illustrate the equipment; some backgrounds and compositions have been edited.

EVE MUSE / 3D SKIN & FACE ANALYSIS

A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR SKIN

EVE MUSE

Looking more closely.
Planning more clearly.

EVE MUSE high-resolution imaging and 3D analysis help us review texture, pores, pigmentation, redness and facial contours from multiple perspectives.

We combine visual analysis with a medical examination to discuss treatment direction and compare progress.

Skin and facial image analysis supports consultation. It does not replace examination or directly diagnose deep fat layers or fascia.

03 / YOUR PERSONAL PLAN

From analysis to follow-up,
a connected process.

01

Assess and listen

We review skin, facial volume, sagging and previous procedures, alongside your goals and available recovery time.

02

Plan the scope

We select devices, areas, settings and treatment order. The plan uses what suits your current condition rather than automatically combining every device.

03

Review the response

We assess recovery and skin response. Further care or treatment is adjusted to your progress and goals.

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

Questions about Signature Custom Lifting.

Do I need all four devices?

No. We select devices according to facial volume, skin thickness, laxity and treatment history. One device may be appropriate, or different concerns may be addressed separately.

Is treatment possible with thin skin or little facial fat?

With thin skin or low volume, we first identify tissue that should be preserved. Fat-reduction approaches do not suit everyone. Suitability and treatment scope are decided after examination.

Can EVE MUSE show all five layers beneath the skin?

EVE MUSE photographs and analyses the skin surface and facial shape. It does not directly image fat layers or the SMAS. Planning also relies on examination; during Ultherapy PRIME treatment, real-time ultrasound imaging allows internal tissue to be viewed.

What about discomfort and recovery?

These vary with the device, settings, area and individual. We explain expected responses and comfort options beforehand. The duration of swelling or redness also varies.

Before your treatment

Pain, redness, swelling, bruising, burns or temporary sensory changes can occur. Results and recovery vary. Please tell us about pregnancy, implanted medical devices, infection in the treatment area and previous procedures.
