HIFU: Non-Surgical Skin Lifting, Firming, and Tightening
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment is a revolutionary, non-invasive, and safe method for facelifting, wrinkle reduction, double chin treatment, and body sculpting.
By using dual HIFU technology, the treatment creates targeted coagulative necrosis points in the SMAS layer, achieved through heat zones. The SMAS layer is the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts.
The generated heat zones stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for youthful, firm skin. This process results in immediate skin tightening and lifting, with ongoing improvements for up to 12 weeks as the skin’s natural healing response is activated.
Our machine is notable for its Safety Assist Transducers (SAT), which deliver high-intensity ultrasound in a distinctive pattern, ensuring safer and more comfortable treatments suitable for all skin types.
Advantages of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment
1. Non-Invasive Facelifting
HIFU provides a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelifts and other invasive procedures, eliminating the need for incisions, anaesthesia, and lengthy recovery periods.
2. Enhanced Skin Firmness
HIFU stimulates deep collagen production within the skin, enhancing elasticity and firmness. It effectively tightens sagging skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Gradual and Natural Enhancement
The collagen production initiated by HIFU leads to gradual and natural-looking results. This treatment improves skin texture and tone, highlighting your natural beauty.
4. Targeted Precision
HIFU technology allows for precise targeting of specific areas, delivering focused ultrasound energy to the desired skin depth. This ensures accurate treatment and optimal results.
5. Personalised Treatment Plans
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatments can be customised to address specific concerns and target various areas of the face and body, including the forehead, brow line, chin, jawline, and neck.
6. Minimal Downtime with Long-Lasting Effects
One of HIFU’s significant advantages is that it requires no downtime. The effects continue to improve as collagen production increases, providing long-lasting results.
How HIFU Works
HIFU employs high-intensity focused ultrasound to create heating effects at precise points within the dermis. Three cartridges target depths of 1.5mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm. HIFU produces temperatures between 65-75 degrees Celsius, causing immediate collagen contraction and an instant tightening and lifting effect on the skin. This high temperature is achieved without damaging the superficial skin layers.
Why Opt for HIFU?
HIFU is a leading treatment for sagging skin because it targets the dermis at the SMAS level (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). Treatment at this level is responsible for the most significant lifting and tightening effects. Another benefit is that HIFU is suitable for all skin types and involves minimal downtime. Post-treatment, you may experience slight redness, swelling, and rarely, bruising.
