Firstly, let's understand what exactly HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is. HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin and corrects body shape using high-energy focused ultrasound waves. So, how does this technology work?
HIFU works by sending focused ultrasound waves to a specific skin depth. These waves reach the target areas under the skin with an intense amount of energy. This energy heats the tissues under the skin and this heating process increases collagen production. Since collagen is a protein that provides skin firmness and elasticity, this increase triggers skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Face Rejuvenation with HIFU
When it comes to facial rejuvenation, the name of HIFU is often heard. The reason is that it is one of the rare technologies that can provide tension and rejuvenation on the face without surgery. HIFU is used to increase skin firmness in the facial area, reduce wrinkles and define the jaw line.
The HIFU process sends focused ultrasound waves deep into the facial skin. These waves are focussed under the skin without affecting the upper layers of the skin, where they stimulate collagen production. Since collagen is a protein that makes the skin look firm and youthful, increased collagen production causes the skin to tighten.
Which Facial Areas Can HIFU Be Applied?
HIFU can be applied to many different areas of the face. Here are the facial areas where HIFU is frequently used:
- Forehead: HIFU can be used to reduce lines and wrinkles in the forehead area.
- Eye Contour: HIFU is an ideal choice for targeting problems around the eyes such as under-eye bags and crow's feet.
- Eyebrow Raising: HIFU can be preferred to lift low eyebrows and achieve a younger appearance.
- Chin and Neck: HIFU is used to clarify the jaw line and to correct sagging in the neck area.
- Above the Lip: HIFU is preferred for reducing the upper lip lines and clarifying the lip contour.
One of the advantages of HIFU for facial rejuvenation is that it is a non-surgical procedure. It is therefore painless and does not require any recovery period. Immediately the results start to be seen and you will notice that the skin gradually tightens and rejuvenates.
Body Contouring Capabilities of HIFU
Rejuvenation is only one side, because HIFU is also effective in body contouring. It can specifically target fat stores in certain areas and provide slimming and tightening in these areas. Who wouldn't want a firmer tummy or a slimmed waist?
HIFU offers an alternative that does not require a surgical procedure and does not need anaesthesia. Therefore, it is an attractive option for those who are interested in having a smoother body contours.
HIFU is a great option for those looking to meet their rejuvenation and body contouring needs. However, everyone's skin structure and body type is different, so it is always important to consult with a qualified aesthetician before considering this type of procedure.
