Mechanism of Action
HIFU is a lifting treatment that heats up the deep layers of your skin. HIFU stands for high intensity focused ultrasound. ... When your skin and muscle layer known as the SMAS are heated up, cells are activated and new collagen and elastin formation takes place.
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly.
Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. While this may seem counterintuitive, the damage actually stimulates the cells to produce more collagen — a protein that provides structure to the skin.
The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent issue.
Here’s what to expect at your appointment:
1.A physician or technician first cleans the target area.
2.They may apply a topical anesthetic cream before starting.
3.The physician or technician then applies an ultrasound gel.
4.The HIFU device is placed against the skin.
5.Using an ultrasound viewer, the physician or technician adjusts the device to the right setting.
6.Ultrasound energy is then delivered to the target area in short pulses for roughly 30 to 90 minutes.
7.The device is removed.
How long will the result last? You may see some initial effect, but the main lifting and tightening will take place over 2-3 months as new collagen is made. This collagen regeneration process continues up to 6 months after the initial treatment.
HIFU is considered a safe, effective, and noninvasive procedure for tightening the facial skin. Its advantages over a surgical face lift are hard to deny. ... If you're older with more severe skin sagging and wrinkles, HIFU may not be able to eliminate these skin issues.
The jawline, cheek, and perioral areas were the sites where HIFU was most effective, in decreasing order. The adverse effects included erythema and swelling in six cases, and purpura and bruising in two cases. However, the adverse effects were mild and transient.
Such lasers can make a greater difference in your skin replacing damaged skin from sun damage with healthier, new skin. ... HIFU is ideal for the tightening, lifting and rejuvenation of facial skin. It is safe and effective and is a popular alternative to a surgical face lift to help improve lines and wrinkles.
HIFU Facelift – the Most Promising Fully Non-invasive Facelift Treatment in 2018. HIFU treatment effectively tightens and lifts the skin of your face without any needles or scalpels. It works by safely delivering high intensity focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deep tissues of the face.
Ultherapy works by triggering your body's natural production of collagen. This process takes between three to six months, and, over time, the new collagen gradually firms and lifts your skin. After treatment, you may see a slight difference, but the real change happens in the months following your procedure.
