HIFU treatment does not involve injections. It works by delivering highly focused ultrasound energy through the topmost layer of the skin, and delivers just the right amount of ultrasound energy at controlled, selected depths, at the right temperature. The HIFU machine delivers little focused dots of energy into the deeper layer of skin. Each focused dot heats the skin tissue to 60-70°C.
It has 2 major effects: Immediate tissue contraction at the same depth of a surgical facelift ( 3-3,5 and 4 – 4,5mm)
Stimulation of new collagen growth. It has been proven scientifically that collagen growth happens when the skin is heated up to 60-70°C at the right depth.
Non-invasive ultrasound energy generates appropriate levels of heat in the targeted skin. This stimulates the cells for collagen production and tissue rejuvenation. The high intensity focused ultrasound energy activates the skin regenerative process, skin tigthening, through tissue contraction, therefore new collagen production. The long term result inculde gradual tightening which occurs for months, resulting in lifting of the face and tightening of the skin in a natural way.
