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.

How Long To See The Result From HIFU Lifting System
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.
