High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that is a non-invasive, pain-free alternative to facelifts.
It uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer skin.
Safe & Approved
HIFU was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2009 for brow lifts.
Several small clinical trials have shown that HIFU is safe and effective for facial mapping and crease refinement. Individuals achieved excellent results after treatment and a few months later, without the risks associated with surgery.
Versatile Enough For All Areas Of The Body
The procedure is also used for general facial rejuvenation, training, tightening, and body contouring.
Conclusion
So far, HIFU has been proven to be a promising therapy that might change facelifts, especially in younger people who do not want the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
HIFU will not work for individuals with severe cases of excess and sagging skin.
No unique preparation is needed before a HIFU procedure. You must eliminate all makeup and skincare products from the target area before treatment.
Here is what to expect at your consultation:
During The Treatment:
If additional treatments are needed, you can have these at your subsequent treatment.
While ultrasound energy is being applied, you may feel warmth and tingling.
You are free to go home and resume your regular daily tasks immediately after the procedure.
HIFU Face and Neck Lift
HIFU is a one-off therapy that will help you achieve tighter, firmer, raised skin!
The crucial advantages of this treatment are:
One HIFU session will certainly provide visible results in training and tightening. It will also stimulate the production of new collagen, helping your skin maintain its youthful glow. *.
Separately, it targets brow, dewlap, and neck lifting, along with general skin tightening and rejuvenation. You will see a recognisable improvement in face contouring, fine lines, and creases. *.
* Results might differ from one person to another.
HIFU Face
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound power triggers the tissue to heat up quickly.
Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature level, they experience mobile damage. While this may appear counterproductive, the damage really stimulates the cells to produce more collagen– a protein that offers structure to the skin.
How It Generates New Collagen
The boost in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin and fewer wrinkles. Considering that the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a particular tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the top layers of the skin and surrounding tissue.
HIFU might not be appropriate for everyone. In general, the treatment functions best on people older than 30 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.
Individuals with photodamaged skin or a high degree of loosened skin may require several treatments before seeing results.
Older people with more advanced photo-ageing, severe skin laxity, or extremely droopy skin on the neck aren’t excellent prospects and might require surgery.
HIFU isn’t recommended for individuals with infections or open skin lesions at the target location, severe or cystic acne, or metal implants in the treatment area.
