HIFU
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
HIFU is a non-invasive procedure to lift skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the eyebrow. It also improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage, HIFU can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to your chest!
What Is HIFU?
HIFU, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is an excellent non-surgical treatment to lift, firm, and tighten the skin. It is extremely popular because no other technologies can stimulate every layer of the skin, including the SMAS layer, and it virtually has no downtime. The minimal risk of side effects is another reason it is so popular. Compared to other tightening treatments or surgery, the cost is also affordable.
The HIFU is a non-surgical face lift using focused ultrasound. During a HIFU treatment, various cartridges are used to focus the ultrasound at different skin depths. The focused energy generates heat which tightens the SMAS layer and promotes collagen production in the Dermis layer to give a natural lifting appearance.
How does HIFU work?
HIFU uses safe, time-tested ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally—without surgery or downtime. Safe Ultrasound. No Surgery. It harnesses the power of ultrasound to transform the brow, chin, neck and chest. The HIFU procedure stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the skin’s foundational layer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery—without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin, so there is no downtime with this procedure. Some patients see an initial effect right after their treatment, but the real results appear over 2−3 months as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin on the neck, chin and brow as well as smooth skin on the chest. While HIFU won’t duplicate the results of a facelift, it’s a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery—and can even be an option for patients who wish to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
How can HIFU be used for facial treatments?
HIFU treatment for the face works as a non-invasive facelift. It lifts and tightens the skin, irons out wrinkles and fine lines, shrinks pores, targets the ‘V’ line formation and jowl lines. HIFU improves overall skin tone, pores, brightness and elasticity.
HIFU machines can be used to target specific areas of the face, such as the neck, jawline, and brow, to enhance the overall appearance of the face and create a more youthful look.
This SMAS layer is the actual area a plastic surgeon would pull and tighten under a surgical operation using a knife. HIFU targets this layer without any surgical incisions, giving the patient a no-downtime facelift. Which means you can gain excellent results without any risks associated with surgery, such as infection, scarring, swelling etc. Treatments are fast and results can be seen immediately for some patients, depending on the level of laxity your skin has.
How Does It Feel During Treatment?
First, cleanse your skin, then apply ultrasound gel to cool your skin and increase energy conductivity. The HIFU handpiece is placed on the skin and held in one area at a time. You will feel a prickling, tingling, and warm sensation whilst the energy penetrates the skin.
