HIFU
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound commonly called as HIFU, is an anti-ageing skin lifting treatment especially for face and neck. Ultrasonic waves similar to the ones we use in a USG machine are used. The intensity is much more and these waves are focused on the dermal layers of the skin and the deeper dermal layers. When these waves pass through the skin they create heat and this heat stimulates a controlled tissue damage that further leads to NeoCollagenosis. This new collagen formation leads to a firming of previously loose skin therefore improving the appearance of that part of skin.
The effects are seen within a month and last quite a long time. It can last 8 – 12 months or more depending on the individual’s lifestyle. It is advised to get the repeat session done at least once every 6 months but not more than 3 times in a year. This would further depend on how the client responds to the first session. In cases of very bulky faces or very sensitive skin, a second treatment may need to be given after 2 months. Gradual improvement is seen over 1 to 2 months. The procedure takes around 90 minutes execute (Including topical anesthesia)
