Face Lift with Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

Face Lift with Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

Focused ultrasound, using high-intensity sound waves, applies high heat to deep tissue, creating controlled tissue damage. This process stimulates cells that spring into action to repair microthermal zones created at millimeter intervals in deep tissue, increasing collagen production. Collagen is the source of skin rejuvenation, and as age progresses, collagen production decreases in the body, leading to skin aging. Focused ultrasound treatment reverses the effects of aging by directly stimulating collagen production in deep tissue without affecting the surface of the skin. This results in a younger, tighter, more elastic, and radiant appearance of the skin. Focused ultrasound also helps improve the skin's complexion by increasing blood circulation.

The process of focused ultrasound treatment typically begins with cleansing and disinfecting the skin. A gel is then applied to the treatment area, allowing the ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin more effectively while simultaneously cooling the skin to reduce any discomfort during the procedure. The treatment device is then placed on the skin's surface, and high-intensity sound waves are directed into the deep tissue of the skin. These waves create controlled heat damage in the deep layers of the skin. This damage serves as a signal for the skin to self-repair and triggers collagen production. The procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes. Patients typically feel the tightening starting in the deep tissue and notice a subtle difference in facial contours immediately. The expected results are usually achieved in a single session, with significant rejuvenation occurring in the first 3-6 months.

The effects of focused ultrasound treatment on the skin can be summarized as follows:

1. Sharper facial contours
2. Younger and tighter skin
3. Youthful and vibrant appearance
4. Defined jawline
5. Reduced sagging in the neck
6. Tightened décolletage area
7. Radiant and vibrant skin complexion.
