High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatments are the latest generation of non-invasive aesthetic treatment to effectively and lastingly rejuvenate the skin. Facial rejuvenation HIFU ultrasound corrects sagging skin and wrinkles on the face by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin by the body.
This technology uses ultrasound energy to penetrate deep under the skin and fat layer of the face to effectively target connective tissues. The SMAS is a firm and resistant layer that supports the neck and the contours of the face. Aging and the passage of time cause the connective tissues to sag. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound recreates firmness and elasticity where skin sags.
The treatment consists of increasing the subcutaneous temperature at the chosen depth for a fraction of a second and in a very localized manner. Under this sudden heat a coagulation zone forms. New tissue regenerates the targeted region, which then becomes more elastic. The effect is seen on the upper layers of the skin, which are visibly firmer.
