HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU treatment on neck
Overview HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive and non-surgical facial treatment that employs ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and sculpt the skin by enhancing collagen production. This procedure effectively targets the deeper layers of the skin to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, sagging jowls, and double chins, with results that can last for up to a year.
Mechanism of action
HIFU facials utilize ultrasound energy to precisely heat tissue at depths ranging from a few millimeters to several millimeters, leading to immediate collagen contraction and the stimulation of new collagen production, all while preserving the integrity of the surface skin.
Target areas
This treatment is particularly effective for areas such as the brow, jawline, neck, and beneath the chin. The procedure offers a non-surgical facelift effect, helping to diminish sagging skin and fine lines while enhancing skin elasticity.
Treatment duration and results
Each session lasts between 30 to 90 minutes and typically involves minimal downtime. Patients can expect to see noticeable improvements within four to six weeks, with optimal tightening results occurring between three to six months post-treatment.
Side effects
While side effects may include temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight discomfort during the procedure, HIFU is ideally suited for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity.
