Whether you like it or not, our bodies will age just as we do when the years go by. The dermis layer is the structural foundation of the skin, and it loses collagen and elastin fibers as we age. While not everyone is prone to acne scars or any sort of pigmentation, sagging skin or skin laxity issues exempts no one. Experts would always advise people to take better care of their skin, especially in their younger years. Because in the long run, their skin texture and skin tone will start to take in the effects of aging skin.
HIFU treatment is a popular procedure for reducing wrinkles and increasing collagen and elastin production. After a few HIFU treatments, fine lines and wrinkles are significantly reduced. You’ll start to see that your skin is firmer and more youthful-looking.
HIFU is a quick and effective treatment for reducing signs of the aging process and restoring a youthful glow to the skin. This ultrasound device is designed to target the dermis and superficial aponeurotic muscles system (SMAS) layers, which in turn enhances skin sagginess and reduces wrinkles. This treatment is perfect for patients with issues of skin laxity throughout the face, nose, and body.
If you currently have frown lines, crow’s feet, smile lines, laugh lines, stretch marks or any kind of mild to moderate case of skin laxity, HIFU treatment is your way to go. If you’re seeking a reliable place to get your HIFU treatment done, visit our aesthetic clinic, and we’ll assure you that you will be treated with care.
HIFU is a non-surgical procedure that can be used to replace face lift surgery. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved both the treatment and the HIFU device to eliminate the appearance of wrinkles. This way, the skin will look more firm and toned. HIFU is a treatment for facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
It uses ultrasound energy to heat tissues under the skin’s surface. Your skin cells may suffer some damage as soon as the energy waves reach a certain temperature. Although this procedure may sound a bit alarming, it actually encourages the cells to make more collagen. The more collagen produced in the affected area, the more your skin will tighten and have a smoother appearance.
Since the ultrasound energy only targets the tissue under the surface of the skin, HIFU is considered a safe and effective procedure. Patients should be assured that HIFU will not damage their skin’s outer layers. Even though HIFU is a popular choice for skin tightening, it may not always be the recommended treatment for certain people. This treatment is normally recommended for adults over the age of 30. Older patients who have severe cases of sagging skin may be advised to take face lift surgery.
Initially, right after HIFU treatment, the patient will notice an immediate mild to medium-lift to the face. This is, however, temporary as it is because of the swelling of facial tissues caused by the HIFU heat. That is why most patients feel disappointed in the second week as they might not see any visible difference than to the face. Collagen formation occurs over weeks, and you might start to see the mild face lifting after a month which improves over the months. One can only expect to see distinct results over 3-5 sessions.
What is interesting to note is that some patients allege that HIFU is a painful procedure while others say it is painless! ULTHERA or ULTHERAPY is the oldest and most renowned HIFU brand in the aesthetic market. Ulthera is also one of the HIFU devices that can deliver high levels of ultrasound energy to the fat. It is also the most painful HIFU treatment. The theoretical understanding is this: the higher the energy delivered, the higher temperature it can raise in the fat, the more heat shock proteins it stimulates and the more collagen stimulation and thus collagen formation there is. So if your HIFU treatment is very comfortable, perhaps you might not experience any results from it.
HIFU itself is an exhaustive topic which we will address in detail in the services section.
