HIFU facelift
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is the only FDA approved procedure for skin tightening. HIFU is an advanced aesthetic technology that involves the use of sound wave frequencies for facial contouring that is used to lift, tighten, rejuvenate facial, chest and neck tissues.
1.How Does a HIFU Facial Work?
As we age changes occur in basal layers of our skin leading to loss of its shape and elasticity. This is how we develop skin sagging and wrinkling giving an aged appearance.
The ultrasound waves heat up your skin and muscle layer known as the SMAS, activating the cells.This jumpstarts a natural process, known as neocollagenesis, to produce fresh, new collagen. The treatment itself doesn’t involve any creams, fillers or toxins, it just relies on your body’s own collagen-building process for natural, noticeable results.
HIFU lifts and tones loose skin to counteract the effect of both time and gravity. It is highly effective procedure is renowned for providing people with new definition after just one treatment.
2.How is HIFU Therapy Different to Laser Procedures?
HIFU Therapy stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over the following 2-3 months. Lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers at an optimal temperature, so laser treatments typically only treat superficial skin. Since the two technologies often treat different types of skin issues, they’re actually very compatible.
3.What areas can be treated?
HIFU facelifts have an excellent side effect profile. As the procedure uses only an ultrasound applicator over your face instead of any invasive surgical needles, there is next to zero bruising, swelling, pain, and downtime.
The HIFU ultrasound facial method has been developed over the years to ensure that the treatment effect is stronger and safer.
4.How safe are HIFU Facials?
Most of the time, a parlour facial has ingredients that could be harsh and lead to a flare of acne lesions. You can opt for Hydrafacial or Oxygeneo facial at the clinic which helps with ongoing medications by unclogging pores and killing bacteria.
