High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

What is Cosmetic HIFU?

Cosmetic HIFU is a non-invasive, anti-aging treatment that uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on the face and neck. It works by delivering targeted energy to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance.

How does Cosmetic HIFU work?

During a Cosmetic HIFU treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the desired area of the face or neck. The energy is absorbed by the deeper layers of the skin, causing the tissues to heat up and stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps to keep the skin looking firm and youthful, and as we age, our bodies produce less of it. By stimulating collagen production, HIFU can help to improve the appearance of sagging or loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. HIFU can also reduce sub mental fat by focusing enough energy at the right depth.

What can I expect during a Cosmetic HIFU treatment?

Cosmetic HIFU treatments are typically quick and painless, with most sessions lasting between 30 and 90 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. During the treatment, you may feel a slight warming sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered to your skin. Some patients may experience slight redness or swelling after the treatment, but these side effects usually resolve within a few hours.

What results can I expect from Cosmetic HIFU?

After a Cosmetic HIFU treatment, you may notice some immediate lifting and tightening of the skin. However, the full effects of the treatment will take some time to become apparent as collagen production is stimulated. Most patients see noticeable improvements in the firmness and elasticity of their skin within a few weeks of their treatment, with results continuing to improve over the following months. Many patients achieve significant lifting and tightening of the skin on the face and neck, as well as a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
