Service Description

HIFU stands for “High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound” and is a relatively new cosmetic technology, having only been introduced for use in recent years. HIFU as a form of facial treatment employs the use of concentrated ultrasound energy to the face and neck by a handheld device. HIFU is delivered into the deep skin and causes thermal coagulation to SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System). Skin tightening and rejuvenation happens gradually over time. It has become one of the most sought-after treatments, offering superior results whilst remaining non-invasive. t is a non-invasive treatment that helps stimulates the cells, resulting in tissue rejuvenation and collagen production. The overall effect of the treatment is to promote tightening and lifting of the skin in these areas.HIFU treatment can help stimulate tissue rejuvenation and collagen production –resulting in the tightening and lifting of saggy skin –and can also be used to break down fat deposits. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, this can produce results akin to facial sculpting (but without the need for surgery). HIFU is based on hyperthermia lifting theory. The HIFU transducer irradiates 65-75 C of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy, then creates thermal coagulation on the target layers of skin tissue with no damage to the skin surface at all. Following the initial treatment, the skin starts to undergo a wound healing process that stimulates collagen synthesis and regeneration. The formation of new collagen provides longer-term tightening on the skin. In simpler terms, unlike lasers, radiofrequency, surgery, and other technologies, HIFU bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen.
