High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures in the world. This revolutionary treatment is the only FDA approved treatment specifically targeting lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. It is clinically proven to get results only previously attainable through surgery or invasive procedures such as botox.

HIFU harnesses the power of ultrasound to safely lift and tighten the skin. Unlike similar treatments such as laser or radio frequency, the high intensity focused ultra sound can penetrate deeper into the skin, targeting skin breakdown at its foundation layer, where structural weakening starts.

What are the benefits for the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment procedure?

HIFU can be used wherever skin starts to sag or lose suppleness. For the face, this is typically under the chin, around the jawline, around the eyes, and under the brows.

Some tightening of the skin is normally observed immediately after treatment, and the effect increases over the ensuing weeks due to new collagen formation in conjunction with the continued retraction of connective tissue matrix.

Treatments are typically repeated until no further benefit can be achieved. The number needed will depend on the degree of tissue laxity and the client’s goals. The effectiveness will also be limited by the skin’s ability to rejuvenate.
