HIFU

How does it work?

• Focussed ultrasound energy is used to target the layers of the skin right below the surface. This causes a rapid heating up of the tissue.
• The cells are then stimulated to produce more collagen, thereby enhancing the structure of the skin.
• An increase in the production of collagen renders a tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles.

How To Know If This Treatment Is Suitable For You?

While HIFU has been gaining popularity, it may not be suitable for some people. These include:

• People with photodamaged skin, severe laxity, or high degree of loose skin would require several treatments before they achieve the desired result.
• It is not suitable for older people with more extensive photo-aging and very saggy skin.
• People with infections and open skin lesions at the target area are not ideal candidates for the HIFU treatment.
• Those with severe or cystic acne and metallic implants in the treatment area are not recommended for this treatment.

Who should opt for HIFU treatment?

• HIFU treatment works best for people above the age of 25 looking to delay the signs of aging.
• HIFU is one of the best treatment options for patients with fine lines around the eyes and jowls and double chin.
• HIFU treatment can be performed on patients with early aging signs. It is not recommended for those with a lot of sagging skin.
• HIFU can give you an uplifted face with well defined jawlines, contoured cheekbones and reduced malar mount.
• It takes away the puffiness from the face and gives a sleeker and youthful appearance.
