HIFU

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as a revolutionary non-invasive procedure in dermatology, offering a wide range of benefits for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and facial rejuvenation.

By harnessing the power of focused ultrasound energy, HIFU stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, leading to noticeable improvements in skin laxity and texture without the need for invasive procedure or downtime.

HIFU

Indication of HIFU:


Skin tightening:


HIFU is used to tighten lax skin on the face and body, particularly in areas prone to sagging due to aging or weight loss


Wrinkle reduction:


It can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production, leading to smoother and more youthful-looking skin.


Non-surgical facelift:


HIFU offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical facelift procedures, providing noticeable lifting and tightening effects without incisions or downtime.


Jawline contouring:


It helps define the jawline by tightening loose skin and reducing the appearance of jowls.


Double chin lift


HIFU can also effectively target and reduce excess fat and sagging skin in the submental area, providing with a non-invasive option for addressing double chin concerns and achieving a more defined jawline contour.

FAQ's For HIFU

Q: What is HIFU and how does it work for skin tightening?

A: HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to specific depths within the skin, targeting the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue layers. This stimulates collagen production and tissue remodeling, resulting in tighter, firmer skin over time.

Q: Is HIFU safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

A: HIFU is generally safe for all skin types, but individual factors such as skin sensitivity and medical history may affect candidacy. A thorough assessment by the doctor is necessary to determine suitability for treatment.

Q: How long does the skin tightening effect last, and are maintenance treatments needed?

A: The duration of results varies among individuals but may last up to 1-2 years. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the benefits over time, especially in patients with significant skin laxity or those seeking prolonged improvement.

Q: Can HIFU be used in combination with other dermatological procedures, such as injectables or laser treatments?

A: Yes, HIFU can complement other dermatological treatments, such as injectable fillers or laser resurfacing, to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation results. Your doctor will customize a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Q: What are the common side effects or risks associated with HIFU treatment?

A: Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort during or after the procedure. These typically resolve within a few days. Rarely, more serious side effects such as burns or nerve injury may occur, but these are uncommon when performed by a skilled doctor.

Q: Is there any downtime after HIFU treatment, and when can I resume normal activities?

A: There is minimal to no downtime associated with HIFU, and patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Some temporary redness or swelling may occur, but this typically resolves within a few hours to days.

Q: How many HIFU sessions are typically needed to achieve optimal results?

A: Most patients achieve noticeable improvement after a single HIFU session, while others may benefit from additional treatments for enhanced results. Your doctor will assess your response to treatment and recommend the appropriate number of sessions based on your individual goals.
