HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a cutting-edge treatment that lifts, tightens, and rejuvenates skin non-invasively and with no downtime. Whether you are looking to soften fine lines and wrinkles, contour the face, or tighten and lift sagging skin without surgery, HIFU is a safe, comfortable, and effective solution for all skin types.
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and to kickstart skin rejuvenation, which can lead to firmer and smoother skin over time. This is a non-surgical skin treatment that targets different layers of the skin, leading to effective yet natural results. HIFU can treat the face, around the eye contour, the neck, as well as the décolletage. Selective delivery of ultrasound energy at collagen-dense depths in the skin triggers collagen contraction and jumpstarts new collagen and elastin production without damage to the surface of the skin. Treating the skin at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm encompasses the dermis and the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), which leads to a comprehensive, three-dimensional lift. The specially designed handpiece allows for precise, pinpoint treatment. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and can be repeated to maintain skin’s youthful glow.
Before and After
FAQ’s
What is a HIFU treatment like?
Water-based ultrasound gel will be applied to treatment areas after skin is cleansed. The HIFU handpiece will be moved over the skin in brisk motions as the ultrasound energy is being delivered, ensuring good coverage over the skin.
How long does a HIFU treatment take?
A HIFU treatment is quick and comfortable. Treatment time will depend on the areas being treated. The more areas or the larger the treatment area, the more time it will take to treat the complete areas at the appropriate depths. The HIFU treatment can take a few minutes or up to 30-45 minutes for a comprehensive treatment of the face and neck.
What does a HIFU treatment feel like?
HIFU is comfortably tolerable and does not require topical numbing. HIFU treatment feels like slight tingling or prickling, depending on the depth at which energy is being delivered. The cool ultrasound gel on the skin mitigates discomfort.
Is there any downtime after a HIFU treatment?
No, there is no downtime after a HIFU treatment. Some individuals may have some minor redness or swelling that will subside within a few hours to days. Most individuals feel completely fine after treatment and can resume daily activities immediately.
How long will it take to see results?
Some collagen contraction can be seen immediately post-treatment. Full results can take weeks to months to be apparent. This is dependent on initial skin condition and individualized lifestyle and health conditions.
How long do results last?
Results are dependent on each individual. Generally, results can last for upwards of 6 months or more as collagen production can occur for weeks to months after treatment. For best even longer-lasting results, a HIFU treatment can be done once a month for three consecutive months.
