HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that utilises ultrasound technology to target specific layers of the dermis. Collagen is a vital protein in the human body, making up a significant portion of the skin’s structure. As people age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity.
Treatment Process
- Focused Ultrasound Energy: HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise depths within the skin without causing damage to the skin’s surface.
- Heat: This focused energy generates heat, which stimulates tissue remodelling and triggers the production of new collagen.
- Reduced Fat: HIFU can also reduce fat and help reduce cellulite
Areas of Use
HIFU can be used for various cosmetic purposes, including:
- Lifting and tightening loose skin
- Jowl lifts and jawline contouring
- Decreasing neck lines and wrinkles
- Addressing drooping eyebrows and eyelids
- Reducing the appearance of a double chin
- *Body contouring for areas such as the axilla (armpits), chest, abdomen, back, arms, flanks, thighs, lower legs, and ankles, reducing fatty deposits.
Expected Results
- HIFU treatment aims to rejuvenate the skin naturally.
- Results include reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin laxity, less fat and less cellulite, and a more youthful appearance.
- Some immediate results may be noticeable, but the full benefits become apparent over 2-3 months as collagen regeneration continues.
Procedure Overview
- Procedure Time: The duration of HIFU treatments typically ranges from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
- Downtime Required: After the treatment, some redness may occur, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
- Results Duration: Multiple treatments (usually 2 or more) may be required 1 to 3 months apart for optimal results. The effects can last for 6-12 months or longer, but maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the outcome, usually annually.
- Cost of Treatment: From $550 – $3000
