HIFU is a good choice for patients who are looking for a treatment with no down time, no incisions, and only mild sedation. It offers a more lifted, tighter, and firmer skin texture and appearance.
hifu machine delivers focused ultrasonic energy to two levels in the body - the muscle/SMAS layer and the deep skin(dermis). The ultrasonic energy creates several small tiny injuries at both of these levels. Tiny thermal injuries cause a healing and repair response, which results in additional collagen growth over the 3-4 months after the treatment. Again, these thermal injury points cause your body to begin a healing and restorative process that builds additional collagen, therefore tightening and firming the skin.
The regenerative process is initiated immediately, but the full effects of the hifu lifting treatment gradually occur over the next 2-3 months, with the ultimate results taking shape around 3-6 months. It is common to see some early changes in the first several weeks due to the thermal effect of the treatment.
Most patients only need one treatment to achieve their anticipated results, regardless of their chosen treatment area. While hifu skin tightening is not an effective treatment for severe facial aging and is not meant to replace more invasive procedures like brow lift surgery, it is a viable option for those who are not ready for surgery or whose signs of aging are not as advanced.
HIFU treatments are ideal for patients with mild to moderate signs of aging but can be of some benefit to all ages. There are some patients who would be more ideally treated by a surgical rejuvenation procedure; however, not all patients desire to have surgery or not able to accommodate the down-time associated with surgery.
One can expect about a 20% improvement for sagging and loose skin with hifu procedure. However, you have to be the right candidate. Non-invasive HIFU lifting devices will not replace surgical face lifts if that is what you need.
