HIFU stands for ‘High Intensity Focused Ultrasound’, this treatment can target various tissue depths of the body for skin tightening, skin lifting and body contouring. The completely non-invasive HIFU works by targeting the deep layers of the skin – increasing new collagen production and collagen regeneration at the source. The treatment is fast, very tolerable and is called ‘Lunch Face Lift’ since there is no “downtime”.
The HIFU device targets the upper derm 1.5mm, the lower derm 3.00mm, and most importantly, the SMAS at 4.5mm. SMAS is the layer that sits between your muscle and fat layer. This SMAS layer is the layer that we attach importance to during face lift. HIFU targets this layer without any surgical incision, providing the patient with a facelift with no downtime. This is caused by infections, scars, swelling, etc. This means that you can achieve excellent results without any surgical-related risks. Treatments are quick and results can be seen immediately for some patients, depending on the level of looseness of your skin.
The application takes 30-40 minutes following the application of local anesthesia cream and the results can be permanent for 12-15 months. Generally, to keep the result longer with intermediate sessions; It may even be possible to extend the process by combining it with additional applications.
