BENEFITS OF HIFU TREATMENT
HIFU, often called a “lunchtime facelift”, has become a popular non-surgical skin rejuvenation option. It offers wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, and facial contouring by stimulating deep-tissue collagen production. The treatment’s effects are natural-looking and long-lasting, improving for up to 6-9 months post-procedure. With minimal downtime, patients can immediately resume daily activities.
This treatment can be preventative when started early, slowing skin sagging and maintaining youthfulness. It’s effective for both men and women, targeting deep skin layers without surface disruption. This precision ensures safety and quick recovery, eliminating concerns about scars or lengthy healing times.
HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORKS
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is used for skin tightening. It uses ultrasound to target the layers of skin just below the surface which encourages the production of collagen that results in firmer skin.
The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly. Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. While this may seem counterintuitive, the damage actually stimulates the cells to produce more collagen, a protein that provides structure to the skin.
The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent issue.
HIFU is considered a safe, effective and noninvasive procedure for tightening both the face and other areas of the body.
