Non-surgical Face Lift With HIFU Face Lifting Machine PZ 9.0

HIFU is a relatively new, non-surgical alternative to facelift. HIFU Face Lifting Machine PZ 9.0 uses ultrasound technology to penetrate deeply into the skin which encourages collagen growth and tightening of the tissue on the face, neck, and brows, creating a visible lift.

HIFU Face Lifting Machine PZ 9.0 uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy to heat the underlying SMAS tissues and create tiny injuries here thus sparking off a healing response that encourages collagen formation and tightening. Skin tightening and increased collagen production will occur with HIUF treatment to the chin area. It treats facial tissue only at the focus point, so all the surrounding tissue is unharmed.

With high output power of 0.2 to 2.0J (0.1J/STEP), HIFU Face Lifting Machine PZ 9.0 can generate a temperature of 65℃ to 70℃ or above in the targeted skin layer during a short time. The energy can cause tissue contraction and collagen formation, therefore tightening and firming the skin.

HIFU Face Lifting Machine PZ 9.0 is equipped with 4 kinds of HIFU transducers for different skin layers: DS-4.5D (Standard configuration), DS-4.5S (Optional), DS-3.0 (Standard configuration) and DS-1.5 (Optional). Depending on the patients needs HIFU can target up to three layers of skin, 1.5 mm,3mm, and 4.5 mm in depth.

DS-4.5D (Standard configuration) can transfer 4MHz high intensity focused ultrasonic to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, which can penetrate the dermis depth of 4.5mm, directly get access to the SMAS layer subcutaneous tissue, form “coagulation” area, and treat thick skin, such as cheeks.

DS-4.5S (Optional) can transfer 7MHz high intensity focused ultrasonic to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, which penetrate the dermis depth of 4.5mm, directly get access to the SMAS layer of subcutaneous tissue, and treat thin skin, such as forehead, chin and neck.

DS-3.0 (Standard configuration) can transfer 8MHz high intensity focused ultrasonic to the dermis skin tissue, which can penetrate the dermis depth of 3.0mm, specifically activate collagen of the dermis skin, effectively consolidate the outline lifting effect, improve coarse pores and reduce wrinkles.

DS-1.5 (Optional) can transfer 10 MHz high intensity focused ultrasonic to the tissue of the epidermis, which can penetrate the depth of 1.5mm, and specifically activate the thin epidermis tissue.

HIFU Face Lifting Machine PZ 9.0 can produce up to 5000 to 10000 lines which is as three times as the similar instrument.

HIFU face lifting treatment can be applied to the face as well as the whole body. It is best used for the brow, forehead, mid and lower face, jawline, jowls, under chin and neck regions. And also, it works equally well for people of all skin colors, compared to lasers and the intense pulse lights.

The treatment can take between thirty minutes to three hours depending on the extent of areas treated. It literally achieves the results of a facelift or a body lifts without any invasive surgery or injections, moreover, an added bonus of this procedure is that there is no downtime.

Does HIFU Face Lifting Treatment hurt?

HIFU is one of the most innovative medical device technologies currently available for lifting the face, neck, and brow region.HIFU can be painful, depending on the settings used, the area being treated, the number of lines being laid down, and the pain tolerance of the patient. 
hifu therapy involves penetrating ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper dermal and sub-dermal levels, which results in micro injury to that tissue. As the tissue heals, it increases collagen and as the collagen fibers organize and shorten, a tightening effect is seen on the tissue. There can be some discomfort when the ultrasound energy is being applied but it is temporary and a good sign that collagen-building process has begun. 
All areas of the face are not equal in terms of pain sensation. Some areas on the face can be more painful than others in some individuals and the hifu lifting treatment can be delivered to those areas in stages, rather than delivering multiple lines adjacent to each other consecutively. Around the eyes and over any bony prominence tend to be much more intense. The neck region seems to be the area that tolerates the HIFU treatment the best. 
Patients can be treated with a lower energy level and increased number of lines/pulses and the discomfort/pain level is much lower. The second factor related to pain/discomfort during an hifu procedure is the type of skin being treated. Some patients experience more pain than others during the HIFU treatment. Patients with thicker skin or more dense areas will tolerate an HIFU treatment very well. 
Pain medication can be very helpful for some patients. It is not uncommon to experience a “bruised” feeling afterward but in most cases there is no visible effect on the skin as the target tissue is deeper.
