HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a medical technology that utilises ultrasound at precise depths for non-surgical tightening and lifting of the skin.
It can help to reverse ageing and achieve a lifted and youthful look. Best of all, HIFU Facelift treatment has absolutely no downtime and visible results can be seen from the first session.
HIFU can be performed on the face and neck to reduce any signs of skin ageing, treating common wrinkles, and to achieve a V Shaped face by enhancing jawline and facial contours.
When the ultrasound energy reaches the skin layer, it will stimulate collagen production which will progressively improve over 4 to 6 weeks as your skin continue to generate collagen.
Results will differ between individuals as collagen production and maintenance is not the same for all. Visible results can already be seen on the first session. However, in order to see the full effect, it is advisable to wait 2 – 3 months.
HIFU is the only medical procedure that reaches the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer for face lifting and skin tightening in the current market.
HIFU or radiofrequency: RF uses bulk heating, focuses on epidermal layers and does not go beyond the deep dermis.
HIFU or laser: Laser focuses on superfical skin layer usually at a depth of 1.5mm, which is great for conditions such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentations and tattoos.
