HIFU treatment
What is HIFU?
It is a bloodless and non-invasive treatment that achieves natural skin lifting and tightening results that last. The results of HIFU applications are impressive and usher in a new era of non-surgical lifting.
Method
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology is based on the use of ultrasound to correct skin laxity. The ultrasound energy penetrates the skin, without affecting it, and reaches the deeper layers of the skin, where it achieves an increase in their temperature. The goal is to treat sagging skin at the point where it starts.
The thermal reaction caused by the ultrasound microbeams causes cellular irritation and promotes the tissue healing process. This process leads to the strengthening of existing collagen and the production of new collagen.
Results
With HIFU we achieve lifting and tightening of body areas such as the face, neck, décolleté, buttocks, thighs and abdomen.
A small percentage of the improvement is seen immediately after the end of the treatment (immediate collagen denaturation with the application of energy). In a period of 3-4 months, the process of producing new collagen and lifting and tightening the skin is completed, with results that can last up to two years with a single session.
What do I feel during the treatment?
The treatment is extremely well tolerated, accompanied in a few patients by mild diffuse burning or mild momentary pain.
Recovery
The burning sensation disappears after a while. The patient can immediately return to their normal activities.
Can it replace surgical lifting?
No, HIFU cannot have the same results as surgical lifting. However, it is an excellent choice for patients with mild to moderate relaxation, with a completely natural result and without the inconvenience of surgery.
