It is a bloodless and non-invasive treatment that achieves natural, lasting skin lifting and tightening results. The results of HIFU applications are impressive and usher in a new era of non-surgical facelift.
Advantages
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology is based on the use of ultrasound to correct sagging skin. The ultrasound energy penetrates the skin, without affecting it, and reaches deeper layers of the skin, where it increases their temperature. With HIFU we achieve lifting and tightening of areas of the body, such as the face, neck, décolleté, buttocks, thighs and abdomen. The goal is to treat sagging skin at the point where it begins.
Application
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.
Recovery
The treatment is extremely well tolerated, accompanied in a few patients by mild diffuse burning or mild momentary pain. The patient can immediately return to normal activities.
Results
A small percentage of the improvement is seen immediately after the treatment (immediate collagen denaturation with the application of energy). Within 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.
Can it replace surgical lifting?
No, HIFU cannot have the same results as a surgical facelift. However, it is an excellent option for patients with mild to moderate sagging, with a completely natural result and without the inconvenience of surgery.
