The Dualsonic Maximum Alpha<\/a> puts seven professional technologies behind six buttons. Owners rarely struggle with the device \u2014 they struggle with knowing which button to press today. This is the reference guide: what each mode does, which technology drives it, how to move the head, and how the six fit into one week.<\/p>\n

The seven technologies behind the six modes<\/h2>\n

Before the modes, the hardware. The Maximum Alpha combines dual-depth HIFU<\/strong> (1.5\u20134.5 mm), triple radiofrequency<\/strong> (1, 2 and 3 MHz firing sequentially through different skin layers), electroporation<\/strong>, microcurrent<\/strong>, and red, yellow and infrared LED<\/strong>. It weighs 202 g, runs 82 minutes on a 3,350 mAh charge, has an OLED display and is made in Korea. Full specifications sit on the product page<\/a>; the clinical rationale for focused ultrasound is summarised on our benefits page<\/a> and in the published systematic review of micro-focused ultrasound<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each mode is a recipe that combines some of those seven ingredients. None of them is “the best one” \u2014 they do different jobs.<\/p>\n

The two techniques you must not mix up<\/h2>\n

This is the single most common owner error, and it matters for safety as much as results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Technique<\/th>\nModes<\/th>\nHow to move<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Press and shot<\/strong><\/td>\nV-UP, FACE-UP, EYE-UP<\/td>\nPlace the head flat, press the button, let the shot finish, lift and move to the next spot. Never treat the same line twice.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Continuous glide<\/strong><\/td>\nTIGHT-UP, DAILY-UP, COS-UP<\/td>\nNo button. Energy is continuous \u2014 keep gliding smoothly with full skin contact, never pausing in one place.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Both require a generous, thick layer of dedicated ultrasound conductive gel. Not a substitute, not a serum, not a moisturiser \u2014 the official FAQ<\/a> is unambiguous that alternatives are not calibrated for safe energy transmission and risk scratches or burns.<\/p>\n

Mode by mode<\/h2>\n

1. V-UP \u2014 jawline and lower-face sculpting<\/h3>\n

Technologies:<\/strong> dual HIFU + LED + infrared. Technique:<\/strong> press and shot.<\/p>\n

V-UP targets the lower third of the face: jawline definition, the beginnings of jowling, and the “V” contour. It is the mode people notice first in photographs, because a jawline change is measurable in a way that “glow” is not. It is also the mode most worth photographing properly \u2014 see our 12-week progress guide<\/a> for standardised angles.<\/p>\n

2. FACE-UP \u2014 deep lifting across the mid-face<\/h3>\n

Technologies:<\/strong> dual HIFU + red LED, working at 2.5\u20134.5 mm. Technique:<\/strong> press and shot.<\/p>\n

The workhorse lifting mode. The deeper 4.5 mm depth reaches the fibromuscular layer; 2.5 mm works the dermis. Red LED runs alongside to support the recovery phase. This is the mode closest in intent to a clinic HIFU treatment \u2014 the difference is energy per shot, which is why home protocols run more often at lower intensity. We work through that trade-off in what home HIFU really costs per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. EYE-UP \u2014 eye area, forehead and neck<\/h3>\n

Technologies:<\/strong> dual HIFU at shallow 1.5\u20132.0 mm + yellow LED. Technique:<\/strong> press and shot.<\/p>\n

Shallow depths for thin skin: crow’s feet, brow, and the delicate neck areas. Two hard limits apply. Never treat the eyeball or eyelid itself<\/strong> \u2014 the FAQ calls this out in capitals because focused ultrasound over the eye can cause irreversible damage. And on the neck, avoid the centre, the Adam’s apple and the thyroid region entirely.<\/p>\n

4. TIGHT-UP \u2014 firmness and pore refinement<\/h3>\n

Technologies:<\/strong> triple radiofrequency (1\/2\/3 MHz) + red LED. Technique:<\/strong> continuous glide. Around 18 minutes.<\/p>\n

No HIFU here. Radiofrequency heats broadly rather than in focused points, which makes TIGHT-UP the “surface quality” mode: texture, pore appearance, overall firmness across cheeks and jawline. It is gentler than the HIFU modes and slots into a weekly rhythm easily.<\/p>\n

5. DAILY-UP \u2014 daily maintenance<\/h3>\n

Technologies:<\/strong> microcurrent + infrared + LED. Technique:<\/strong> continuous glide, steady upward strokes.<\/p>\n

Low-intensity muscle stimulation and light therapy. This is the mode you can use most frequently, and the one that turns a device into a habit. Apply enough gel and use consistent uplifting motions at an even pace.<\/p>\n

6. COS-UP \u2014 skincare absorption<\/h3>\n

Technologies:<\/strong> electroporation + LED. Technique:<\/strong> continuous glide, slowly, over your serum.<\/p>\n

The only mode that runs over product rather than gel. Electroporation transiently opens pathways in the skin barrier so actives penetrate further. It is not a muscle or lifting mode \u2014 treat it as the finishing step that makes your existing skincare work harder.<\/p>\n

Putting the six into one week<\/h2>\n

A sensible starting rhythm for a healthy adult, adjusted by your decade and concerns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/td>\nRest<\/td>\n\u2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

That grid is a starting point, not a prescription. Skin in the thirties responds differently from skin in the fifties, and someone treating jowling needs a different weighting from someone treating texture. That is precisely what the Protocol Hub<\/a> builds for you \u2014 ten complete concern protocols with exact settings, age-adapted weekly schedules, and hands-free timing per zone so you are not counting seconds with gel on your hands. It runs from \u20ac14.99 a month, or \u20ac119 a year<\/a>, and we explain the personalisation logic in this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
