HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (HIFU)
- Focused ultrasound energy is delivered non-invasively and heats deep tissue without affecting the surface of the skin. This causes a natural, regenerative response. Unlike other types of ultrasound, there will be a sensation of heat.
– A natural, regenerative response is initiated, stimulating the growth of new collagen, which lifts the skin over time. Results build gradually over 2-3 months and can continue to improve up to 6 months post-procedure.
How is HIFU different from Lasers and RF?
– Lasers and RF typically involve improving superficial layers of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes).
– HIFU addresses the deep skin layer and the foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery that lends support to the skin.
– HIFU bypasses the upper layers of the skin and delivers the right amount of energy at the right depths to contract and then ultimately lift the soft tissue.
– HIFU is the only non-invasive technology to target the SMAS layer.
