What is HIFU Face Lift? What are the benefits?

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound facelift is a technique that employs ultrasound waves as the source of heat energy to penetrate under the skin layers and help rejuvenate it through firming the skin and reducing the wrinkles on the face.

HIFU facelift is a relatively recent addition in the line of non-surgical facial procedures designed to reverse the signs of aging. It is an effective treatment for wrinkle reduction and firming the sagging skin. It works by delivering heat energy deep in the skin to increase the blood flow and stimulating the production of collagen which is a structural protein and helps to firm the skin. This treatment method is safe, effective and FDA approved.

How does HIFU Face Lift work?

As we age our bodies start to deteriorate and our healing system weakens.  Collagen is a structural protein that makes much of our body structure including tendons jointing bones, hair, and skin. As we age the production of collagen depletes which leads to problems like bald patches, painful joints, and sagging of skin. This is the reason physiotherapist also use similar methods for facilitating healing and recovery ad even treating age-related joint and bone pains. These ultrasound waves penetrate deep into our skin and stimulate the production of collagen which helps rejuvenate the skin, tone up the facial muscles and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

How HIFU is better than RF treatment?

HIFU is a relatively new procedure for aesthetic benefits and usually requires just one session, in contrast, RF is an older procedure and requires several sessions to acquire the same results. HIFU is considered more efficient because it delivers heat energy with more precision and intensity to deeper layers while rf deliveries the same energy in bulk and does not penetrate into deeper layers. It gives more pronounced and long-living results.

What are the benefits of HIFU treatment?

HIFU is an effective treatment for wrinkle reduction, skin rejuvenation, acne reduction, fading scars, and healing.  The added benefits are that the procedure is non-invasive, painless and requires minimal downtime. It is comparatively less expensive than surgery and other options and is suitable for the majority of people. There are minimum side effects or health complications involved.
