HIFU-High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
NATURAL, NON-INVASIVE, NO DOWNTIME
​
HIFU therapy is ideal for both men and women who desire a natural degree of firmness and minimization of wrinkles and lines.
​
What others have to say about the revolutionary non-surgical face-lifting technology….
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Technology is an exciting non-surgical treatment and has been described as a revolutionary non-surgical face lift.
​
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is the only FDA approved non-invasive treatment for lifting loose skin on the face, neck, chin and brow; and now it’s also the only non-invasive treatment specifically FDA-cleared to improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
HIFU uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin (close to mussels-SMAS, in derma). A new, naturally occurring collagen continues to form for 3-6 months after treatment.
​​
HIFU machine uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen deep within the skin and tighten the skin naturally - without surgery or downtime.
How fast to see a result?
​
A beauty of the procedure is that it forms new, naturally occurring collagen, which continues to form for three to six months after the treatment. Initial effects may be seen immediately after the treatment, however the effect will build gradually as new collagen begins to lift and tighten the skin on the neck, chin and brow, as well as smoothing the skin on the chest.
​
The result is the tighter, firmer and lifted skin, from the brow to the chest.
​
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound bypasses the superficial layer of the skin and can explore to the depths to 4.5mm.
4.5mm layers are known as the SMAS, which is the ‘Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System’, the very same layers that plastic surgeons pull tight in a surgical face-lift.
As HIFU energy safely heats this tissue, it contracts, resulting in an immediate tightening under the skin.
Over time, this becomes an appreciable lift.
​
​
This is because growth of new collagen continues to be
​​stimulated, the protein that builds up structure beneath loose skin, working from the inside out.
What is felt during treatment?
Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient. There can be some temporary discomfort while the energy is being delivered, which is a signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. A modern HIFU is all most pain-free.
Your treatment provider will discuss options for making the treatment as pleasant as possible.
​
​what kind of results can I expect?
Results vary because everyone is individual, depending on age & skin type. Many patients see a tightening effect immediately after treatment. With just one treatment, the regenerative process is initiated. Full effects from the lifting and tightening caused by increased collagen production will continue for the next three to six months.
who is a good candidate for HIFU Treatment?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment is ideal for someone with skin that has ‘relaxed’ to the point of looking and often feeling less firm. A lowered brow line or sagging skin on the eyelids, for instance, is often the first sign of ‘maturing’ skin. HIFU has proven to be an inviting alternative for those who are not ready for surgery.
​The treatment also includes a consultation and recommendations prior to the treatment and Algae mask post-treatment.​
