High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatments

HIFU is the most advanced technology available in the world today for non-surgical skin tightening.
The only non-invasive treatment available that can specifically target the deep foundation below the skin normally addressed in cosmetic surgery without cutting or disturbing the surface of the skin. By using ultrasound imaging, it allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most effective.

HIFU Treatments can be used to;

Lift eyebrows and tighten brows
Reduce frown lines
Lift and firm jowl area
Soften smiles lines
Reduce naso labial folds
Improve appearance of neck
Body sculpture and contour

THE NEXT BEST THING TO FACE LIFT SURGERY

Put aging skin back in its place without a surgical facelift.

Sagging skin gives you tired-looking eyes and distorts the contours of your face at the chin and neck. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lifts and tightens skin for a non-surgical face lift and neck lift. Since its release, HIFU has been quickly growing in popularity with experts worldwide as an advanced, non-invasive skin tightening treatment.

HIFU is one of the most popular and highly developed systems available. Non-invasive ultrasound energy generates low levels of heat in the targeted skin. This stimulates the cells for collagen production and tissue rejuvenation. With just one treatment, HIFU pushes mature skin to start working hard again. Smoother, firmer, and brighter skin in the months after treatment.

Your eyes will look more open, brows more lifted, fine lines softened, and pore reduced. Because of the restored elasticity, your skin will feel softer and more supple, too. If you don’t think you need surgery yet or simply hate the thought of the knife, HIFU may be the natural facelift or neck lift alternative for you.

What problem areas does HIFU target?

HIFU addresses mild to moderate loose or sagging skin. Specifically, by reconditioning and renewing the skin from within, HIFU will lift the brow, which in turn reduces excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes, and gives a more refreshed look overall. As well as full face, neck, chest, arms, elbows, tummy, inner thighs and knees.

How is HIFU different from lasers?

Lasers typically address issues in the superficial layers of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes). HIFU addresses the deep skin layer and the foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery that lift and lend support to the skin. Therefore, the two technologies are quite complementary!

Is there any downtime?

HIFU is an entirely non-invasive procedure and as such, there is no downtime. You are able to return to your normal activities right away, and there are no special measures you need to take.

Is HIFU painful?

Comfort thresholds vary, but there can be some discomfort while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. This is temporary and a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Your practitioner will make your experience as pleasant as possible.

Will I need more than one treatment?

The majority of patients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment (depending on how much laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and collagen-building process).

How long until I see results?

Patients may enjoy some initial effect but the ultimate lifting and toning will take place over 2-3 months, as tired collagen is replaced with new, more elastic collagen. As this collagen-building process continues, further improvements can appear up to 6 months following a procedure.

How long do results last?

Patients treated with HIFU still have fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure and can continue Collagen Sub-Optimal Denaturation & Optimal Neocollagenesis Neocollagenesis Ablation Body Radio Frequency HIFU Ablation Temperature Devices Lasers for up to another year depending on the condition of the skin. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process, which varies by individual.

Advanced HIFU technology delivers precise fractional energy deep into the skin

Advanced High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
stimulates collagen reproduction by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery - without damaging or disrupting the surface of the skin.

This is the premier skin tightening technology currently available for all facial, neck and chest areas. It is the closest procedure to a surgical face or neck lift. There is no downtime! The effects are immediate, improving each day with full results at around 3-6 months.

Safe, time tested energy of precisely focused ultrasound stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin without disturbing the surface of the skin.
Patients will see dramatic long lasting improvements around the eyes, facial firming, smoothing of crows feet, tightened sagging skin, more defined jaw line, improved skin texture and an evenness of colour.

Who can be treated?

If you have any concerns please call the clinic before making an appointment

Prior to HIFU

Avoid a “fresh” sunburn, which reddens the skin and makes it tender.
For three days prior to the procedure, do not use topical products containing isotretin (e.g. Retin-A), glycolic acid, or salicylic acid, as these can irritate the skin.
Gently wash treatment area with a mild cleanser. Do not apply any creams, lotions, foundation, powered or other products prior to treatment.
For patients with poor tolerance, you may be taken 4% lidocaine cream (EMLA) 45-60 minutes prior procedure or if needed, analgesic medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may be taken one hour prior to arrival or may discuss other pain control options prior to your procedure.

Facial reaction after treatment

After treatment you may experience the following;

Feeling of heat: Normal phenomenon because of focused thermal energy of HIFU make 60-70℃ under skin .
Feeling of lightly sting or pain: Normal phenomenon, different people have different sensibility and acceptability of pain. May caused by high energy or when doing treatment on bone areas. The pain will fade away in few hours.
Feeling of skin tightening: This is because 4.5mm cartridge works on SMAS areas and make skin contract, 3mm cartridge work in dermis area and stimulate the collagen reorganize and proliferate.
Facial swelling. Normal phenomenon because of high energy, it will disappear with 24 hours, you can also use steroid in time if needed.

Side Effect

Aftercare

Typically, you may return to your normal activities after HIFU

Wash skin with cool water and a gentle cleanser.
If the skin is slightly pink or red in areas following the treatment, avoid hot water when washing or showering until the “blush” has subsided (usually within in an hour).
Avoid exfoliation for at least one week or until all sensitivity in the treatment area has subsided.
Makeup (preferably mineral based) may be applied immediately post treatment.
Soothing, non-irritating creams or moisturizers may be used.
Use a sun block with an SPF of 30 or greater if going out into the sun to help prevent future sun damage.
Apply repair solution for maintaining lasting effect.
