Non Invasive
No nips and tucs, no downtime needed, no visable scaring. HIFU induces your bodies natural healing power to stimulate collagen deep down at the layer connecting both muscle and skin. That’s why its earned the name Non-Surgical Skin Tightening and Face Lifting
How HIFU Works
Non-surgical Skin Tightening and Face Lifting uses ultrasound to penetrate deep into the skin’s SMAS layer, this is below the more superficial layers of the skin. The SMAS (superficial Muscular Aponeuric System), is the layer of tissues targeted by a surgeon during a face lift, and it connects the dermis to the facial muscles. HIFU sends ultrasonic heatwaves to the SMAS creating a low level injury at this layer, now the bodies natural healing response is to stimulate the production and organisation of fresh collagen at the targeted sites. This process unfolds over the next 12 weeks or so, during which the skin will continue to both lift and tighten, whilst developing a smoother and plumper appearance. As the HIFU targets below the surface layers of the skin, any low level injury to the skin is not outwardly visable, hence no downtime is needed so you can go about daily life, and apply makeup straight away.
Is HIFU Safe
HIFU is considered a safe, effective, and noninvasive procedure for tightening the facial skin. Its advantages over a surgical face lift are hard to deny. … If you’re older with more severe skin sagging and wrinkles, HIFU may not be able to eliminate these skin issues, but can still greatly improve skin quality, perhaps enhanced in conjunction with other treatments such as microneedling and the addition of hydrocloric acid or subtle fillers for optimal results.
