Non-surgical, focused treatments with lifting effects
Also known as the non-surgical face lift, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive, surgery alternative used to tackle sagging. This facial treatment works to boost collagen production and enhance tightness without damaging the skin's surface.
HIFU with Focus Dual
HIFU uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to target the deep SMAS layers of the skin, which surgeons lift in a facelift, to create focused points of coagulative necrosis. This works to trigger collagen and elastin production, helping you achieve the appearance of tighter, lifted skin. The HIFU technology can be adjusted to different depths depending on the target area, making it a popular choice for those looking to reduce the severity of lines, wrinkles, crepey skin, laxity, and excess fat. This technology has already been used for some time to remove tumours, but the process has been developed to successfully tighten and revitalise saggy areas of the face without surgery, with results that continue to improve up to 12 weeks after treatment.
Benefits of high-intensity focused ultrasound
Clinical studies have shown that HIFU treatment can be effective to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and deep lines, and to make sagging skin appear firmer and smoother. It has been shown to:
-
Firm, smooth and volumize
-
Tighten saggy skin, such as around the neck
-
Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
-
Create the appearance of 'lifted' eyebrows, eyelids and cheeks
-
Tighten the décolletage
-
Sculpt and define the body and face
-
Correct uneven skin tone and texture
-
Manage Milia (bumps on the skin)
-
Help acne, scarring and stretch marks
Safer, cheaper and less painful than surgery
Although more than one HIFU treatment may be needed, these treatments are far cheaper than a surgical facelift, and pose less risks and side effects. During the procedure, you may feel slight discomfort, similar to a light prickling sensation. Immediately after the session, you may find that you have some mild swelling or redness, which will recede in just a few hours. The procedure is very safe, and you will be able to resume your normal daily activities immediately afterwards.
