Can HIFU Lifting System Be Used On The Eyelids

HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) is a new technology for face lifting and skin tightening. HIFU is delivered into the deep skin and cause thermal coagulation to SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System). It can provide the skin tightening and rejuvenation happens gradually with the time.
hifu therapy can be used, to raise the brows and give the eyes a more open appearance, but the treatment cannot be performed on the upper lids or inside the orbital rim in order to protect your vision. However, it can be applied to the forehead and area directly above the brow to open the eye. It can also be applied to the cheekbone below the lower lid to smooth the transition between the eyelid and cheek, shortening that distance and rejuvenating the face.
hifu technology is a highly-recommended alternative to surgery, but don't expect to see maximum results for about three months. Though some patients may see some immediate improvement, it generally takes some time for the muscle and skin to form the collagen that causes the visual effects of the treatment. For most patients, 90 days or more are required for the best clinical result. Improvement continues for 6 months as new collagen is formed. 
Patients often see a subtle brow lift of 2-3 mm. If your brows are symmetrical and the treatment is applied symmetrically, you should have a symmetrical result. When your brows lift, the distance between the top of your open eyelid and your brow increases. This makes your eyelid appear less droopy or heavy or hooded. 
Also the hifu facial result, like the result from surgery, will depend upon a confluence of factors, including the patient's age, health, and the severity of the skin laxity at the time of treatment.
