All about HIFU

Who wouldn't want skin that looks younger? Are you also attempting to delay the telltale signs of aging? Today's world is all about looks and appearances. Everyone is searching for the best methods to regain their toned facial features. HIFU is a fantastic alternative for those who are worried about fine lines and skin laxity and are interested in skin-tightening treatment choices, especially for those who aren't ready for surgery

What is HIFU?

HIFU, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a non-invasive, skin-tightening, cosmetic procedure. But why is it so popular? Actually, it’s a painless replacement for facelifts. This means there is no need for surgery therefore no healing or recovery is required. It uses high-frequency sound waves to significantly tighten and lift several areas of the face thereby giving your skin a youthful appearance. It’s more in demand these days because it is relatively affordable and a perfect solution for those who want to look and feel young again.

What happens during a HIFU treatment?

During a HIFU treatment, the ultrasound energy is directed on a particular site of the face to target the tissues. The cells within the skin are heated up to a particular temperature where they are focused to cause cellular damage leading to the production of collagen. Collagen & elastin helps your skin become firmer, tighter & wrinkle-free.

Does it hurt?

Generally, it does not. The procedure of HIFU typically takes around an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area, and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most of you will experience no pain or discomfort during the procedure with no downtime. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment. While some may experience slight redness or swelling as soon as the treatment is completed but these side effects subside within a few hours.

• Wrinkles & fine lines
