What is HIFU?
After the age of 30, the main issue is the rapid loss of collagen, leading to the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead. The situation becomes increasingly clear, and self-care techniques targeting wrinkles and skin sagging for individuals aged 30 and above begin to gain more attention.
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound , which is an advanced non-surgical treatment method that utilizes ultrasound energy. It is directed into the skin layers, targeting a depth of 4.5 millimeters to disrupt the SMAS layer or the facial muscle layer, thereby creating a new layer that triggers the natural healing response of the skin in that area. This process stimulates the production of collagen and the formation of new tissue, resulting in firmer skin with a better texture and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a technique where high-intensity focused ultrasound delivers ultrasound energy to the skin layers, stimulating the production of new collagen. It makes the skin firmer, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin texture, as well as tightens pores. HIFU facial contouring treatment is one of the procedures that can help reshape the face to create a more defined facial contour and achieve noticeable results. It can be completed through simple steps using a HIFU machine, which is a tool for skin tightening. It is very safe and does not harm the skin, as it works by releasing high-intensity ultrasound waves into the skin layers. This makes the skin look firmer and younger. The area around the facial framework is one of the regions where the facial contour can be clearly seen.
How does HIFU work?
The principle of HIFU technology is to transmit ultrasound energy to the target area under the skin. The ultrasound waves emitted by the HIFU device can pass through the outer layer of the skin without causing damage, until they reach the desired depth. Once the target tissue is reached, the ultrasound waves generate heat. This heat stimulates controlled thermal damage. This damage triggers the body's healing response. It stimulates the production of collagen and promotes tissue remodeling. Different depth levels are used.
4.5mm will help to lift and tighten the SMAS layer.
3mm will help to burn subcutaneous fat.
1.5mm will help to soften the skin and reduce wrinkles.
There are also heads that penetrate into the body's fat layer, including 6-millimeter and 8-millimeter heads.
3 important steps of HIFU treatment
1.Precise targeting of skin layers: During HIFU treatment, doctors use a specially designed 4.5mm head to disrupt the tissue layer beneath the SMAS area. HIFU is a technology that can precisely target the treatment area. It ensures that the ultrasound energy is accurately delivered to this layer to achieve a lifting effect.
2.Focusing: Once the target area is identified, HIFU delivers highly focused ultrasound waves to the desired depth within the skin. The energy is concentrated and released in a short period of time. This causes thermal damage that does not burn or inflame the outer layer of the skin.
3.Stimulation: The personalized thermal damage, generated by the ultrasound, stimulates the body's natural healing response. It stimulates the production of collagen. The existing collagen fibers will be altered, and over time, this will tighten the skin, increase its elasticity, and reduce wrinkles.
