HIFU SKIN TIGHTENING FACIAL
HIFU stands for âHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasoundâ. This treatment can target various depths of the bodyâs tissue for skin tightening, skin lifting, and body contouring. Entirely non-invasive, HIFU machines work by targeting deep layers in the skin â it boosts new collagen production and collagen regeneration right at the source. It is sometimes called the âLunchtime Faceliftâ as the treatment is quick, very tolerable, and has no downtime.
BENEFITS OF HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND
- wrinkle reduction
- tightening sagging skin on the neck (sometimes called turkey neck)
- lifting the cheeks, eyebrows, and eyelids
- enhancing jawline definition
- tightening of the dĂŠcolletage
- smoothing the skin
- As a result, HIFUs are able to target deep skin layers to cause tightening and lift the face without needles or surgery.
- The best results are at 12 weeks, as collagen production and tightening take time.
WHAT DOES HIFU FEEL LIKE?
- You may experience slight discomfort during a HIFU procedure. Some people describe it as tiny electric pulses or a slight prickly sensation.
- If youâre worried about pain, your doctor may suggest taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Advil), before treatment.
- Immediately after the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which will gradually recede over the next few hours.
MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS
- HIFU is considered very safe if performed by a trained and qualified professional.
- The best part about this treatment is that youâre able to resume your normal activities immediately after you leave the providerâs office. Some slight redness or swelling may occur, but it should subside quickly. A light tingling sensation in the treated area may persist for a few days.
- Rarely, you may experience temporary numbness or bruising, but these side effects usually go away after a few days.
WHO IS NOT A CANDIDATE?
- HIFU may not be appropriate for everyone. In general, the procedure works best on people older than 30 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.
- People with photodamaged skin or a high degree of loose skin may need several treatments before seeing results.
- Older people with more extensive photo-aging, severe skin laxity, or very saggy skin on the neck arenât good candidates and may need surgery.
- HIFU isnât recommended for people with infections and open skin lesions in the target area, severe or cystic acne, and metallic implants in the treatment area.
