HIFU
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target and lift the skin, a younger-looking appearance without the need for surgery! Unlike traditional facelifts, HIFU stimulates collagen production, resulting in tighter skin and improved elasticity over time. The procedure is quick, with minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for those seeking a more youthful look without the risks associated with interventions. Experience the benefits of HIFU and reveal a refreshed version of yourself.
What is HIFU?
-
Benefits:
-
Skin tightening and lifting.
-
Improved skin texture and firmness.
-
Reduced wrinkles and fine lines.
-
Facial contouring and definition.
-
-
Procedure:
-
The area to be treated is cleaned and a gel is applied.
-
A handheld device emits ultrasound waves in short bursts.
-
The treatment typically lasts 30–90 minutes.
-
Some people may experience mild discomfort during the treatment.
-
There is no downtime, meaning you can return to your daily activities immediately.
-
-
Results:
-
Some tightening effects may be noticeable immediately, but the full results typically become visible within 12 weeks as collagen builds up.
-
The results can continue to improve over time as new collagen is generated.
-
-
Other Uses:
-
HIFU can also be used for body slimming, helping to eliminate localized fat in areas like the thighs or hips.
-
The treatment heats and destroys fat cells, and as the body expels the damaged cells, the skin in the area is also tightened.
-
-
How it Works:
-
The body's natural healing response is triggered, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.
-
Collagen and elastin are crucial for maintaining firm, elastic skin.
-
The treatment can target different depths, including the SMAS layer, which is the area surgeons tighten for face and neck lifts.
-
HIFU delivers ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin, ranging from 1.5mm to 4.5mm.
-
This energy creates controlled heat, causing micro-injuries in the tissue.
