Both the concept and execution of Ulthera’s DeepSEE™ Precise Focused Ultrasound with Visualization (PFUV) are ultra smart, ultra sound. The therapeutic capability allows the delivery of acoustic energy deep in the soft tissue with unparalleled precision, while sparing the intervening tissue. The imaging capability allows one to see into and below the skin for the first time without surgery.

DeepSEE technology is rooted in the diagnostic imaging and therapeutic devices used for years; however, the complexity required to afford clinicians the ability to both see and selectively—safely—effectively—and reliably create a precise coagulative effect in deep soft tissue reflects engineering ingenuity at its finest.

The DeepSEE transducers deliver highly focused acoustic energy that penetrates to optimal depths with geometric precision. The energy is selectively absorbed within the focal zone of the ultrasound beam, causing rapid heating and the formation of discrete thermal coagulative points on the order of 1mm3. These are laid down at a prescribed depth in a precise, pre-programmed linear pattern, -- effectively, as one physician said, “taking fractional to a whole new level."
