HIFU Treatment is best for Skin Tightening

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU absolutely proves its name right. This procedure is based on the focused ultrasound energy, which targets the layers of skin. The logic is to cause cellular damage by heating up the tissues rapidly.

Don’t worry. It does not damage the upper layers of the surface and adjacent tissues because they are focused on a specific area.

As the cells experience damage, they start producing more collagen to make a recovery. The production of the protein starts providing strength to its structure, which results in tighter and firmer surface.

Ideal Candidates

This High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment may not be good for everyone. Frankly speaking, it shows the best results on people in their 30s or more with mild to moderate laxity of skin. Simply put, if you are 30 plus and have a little bit of loose skin, it’s good for you.

It can also treat photo damages or high degree of loose skin. But, it would be a time-taking procedure. Several treatments would show up the results.

If you have skin infection and open lesions at the target area or cystic acne, avoid this treatment.

Aesthetic Benefits

This revolutionary nonsurgical facial technology has been emerging as a great alternative for facelifts over years. It is simply because of these aesthetic benefits:

·         Reducing wrinkles

·         Re-defining jawline

·         Smooth and firming skin

·         Tightening of the décolletage

·         Tightening sagged neck or turkey neck

·         Lifting cheeks, eyebrows, and eyelids

How much time does it take to show results?

Patience is the key in this process. The results are promising. A study on Korean people showed that it brought back the elasticity of the cheeks, lower abdomen and thighs over the period of 12 weeks.

Generally, it starts showing improvement in the appearance of the neck and face in 90 days.

How does it feel like?

This is the foremost question that you always want to know-how it feels like. It’s slightly discomforting actually. The tiny electric pulses feel like being pricked.

If you are so much worried about this sensation, you can ask your doctor. It may suggest you to take acetaminophen or a nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drug prior to undergoing this procedure. 

Like any other non-invasive cosmetic treatment, you may see a little bit of redness or swelling on and around the area where it is done. It would recede over the next few hours or in a day.

Facial Procedure

You don’t need to do anything special. Just remove all makeup and skin care products. The doctor will remove it before doing this facial.

This procedure step by step goes this way:

·         Cleaning of the target area is done. 

·         A topical anesthetic cream before starting can be applied.

·         It would follow with the application of an ultrasound gel.

·         Then, the HIFU device is placed against the skin. 

·         With the help of an ultrasound viewer, the physician or technician adjusts the settings.

·         Thereafter, the ultrasound energy is immersed into the target area in short pulses. It takes place for roughly 30 to 90 minutes.

Once it is done, you feel heat and tingling in the treated area. But, these signs will fade away in a few hours. If you cannot endure that sensation, the doctor may suggest you the medicine.

You will get back to your normal routine right away.

Final Thought

This treatment does not show any side effect. But still, if your tingling does not recede in a day, you can call for an appointment immediately. However, it is considered as a safe, effective and nonsurgical way for firming skin. The procedure takes place quickly and painlessly.
