HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a cutting-edge non-invasive procedure renowned for its ability to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate both the face and body. Utilizing focused ultrasound energy, HIFU penetrates deep below the skin's surface to target specific layers and stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful looking skin.
For facial treatments, HIFU precisely targets areas prone to sagging, such as the cheeks, jawline, and brow area. The focused ultrasound energy heats the deep structural layers of the skin, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. This process results in gradual lifting and tightening of the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. HIFU is a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical facelift with natural-looking results and minimal downtime.
HIFU is also highly effective for body contouring and tightening loose skin in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks. By delivering focused ultrasound energy to targeted areas of fat and tissue, HIFU disrupts fat cells and stimulates collagen regeneration. This helps to improve skin elasticity, smooth cellulite, and achieve a more sculpted appearance without surgery.
During a HIFU treatment session, your skincare specialist or technician uses a handheld device to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the desired treatment areas. The procedure is generally comfortable and well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing a warming sensation as the ultrasound energy penetrates the skin. Depending on the size of the area being treated, sessions typically last between 30 minutes to an hour.
