Say Goodbye to Wrinkles and Fine Lines with HIFU Treatment
Wrinkles and sagging skin can be difficult to hide with makeup sometimes. It is also difficult to prevent it from happening or progressing.
Fine lines, loss of symmetry, sagging skin becomes more obvious with age, and these are some of the inevitable signs of ageing. The presence of wrinkles and sagging skin can be bothersome – affecting how we look and feel during important occasions or even during our day-to-day life. Truth is, it can significantly affect the way we see ourselves.
The good news is that we women, can still have a radiant, smooth, lifted and contoured face regardless of our age.
Even if we can’t prevent it from happening, we can prevent or control it better. We can minimise its occurrence, making it less visible with the customised High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment.
What is HIFU Treatment?
HIFU treatment, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment, is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure that aims to lift and tighten the skin through ultrasound energy. This helps to stimulate and promote the production of collagen Since it does not involve breaking into the skin, it is deemed safe and effective for improving the individual’s appearance.
The treatment is effective for improving lines and wrinkles – making it a great option for facial rejuvenation and contouring.
HIFU treatment targets:
1. Wrinkles & Fine Lines
2. Saggy Cheeks or Jowls
3. Double Chin
4. Dark Eye Circles & Creases
How Does HIFU Treatment Work?
HIFU treatment involves using an FDA-approved HIFU machine that releases ultrasound energy that comes together to form micro-focused waves.
This targeted energy released by the machine penetrates and reaches the deeper layers of the skin. Consequently, it leads to the stimulation of collagen and elastin production responsible for enhancing skin tone, texture, and laxity.
Unlike surgical procedures, no cuts are required for the ultrasound waves to reach the deep layers of the skin. With minimal recovery time and quick results, it can lift the sagging skin and reduce fine lines without going under the knife. It also helps to enhance the contour of the face and improve facial symmetry significantly.
Am I Suitable For HIFU Treatment?
HIFU treatment is not a miracle treatment that would instantly improve all the signs of aging you want to improve. While it may produce significant results, the results may vary from one skin type to another.
Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity may benefit the most from HIFU treatment. Maintenance sessions should still be repeated once or twice a year because the natural aging process continues.
Older individuals with severely sagging skin and extreme wrinkles may not benefit much from this treatment.
What Areas Can HIFU Treatment Target?
HIFU treatment can target a lot of different problem areas as mentioned around the face areas. It can be highly individualised for each patient to tailor-fit their needs depending on what they want to target.
This procedure can be used for facial contouring along the jawline. It can help the sagging skin on the cheek area become tighter and appear lifted. HIFU treatment could also target the fine lines under the eyes. Eyelids could be lifted, along with the crows feet and laugh lines.
Other areas that could benefit from HIFU treatment are the chin and neck region, arms, abdomen, and thighs. This procedure helps tighten the loose skin on these areas, leaving firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
What Are The Benefits of HIFU Treatment?
HIFU treatment brings a lot of benefits to the table. Aside from being effective and safe, other benefits include:
- Lifting effect – HIFU treatment can give your desired lifting effect if you target your eyelids, eyebrows, and cheeks. The sagging skin can appear youthful and more radiant even after one session.
- Wrinkle reduction – HIFU treatment that targets the face and neck region could make the skin appear smoother. It also reduces the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
- Skin tightening – This procedure may tighten the excess skin around the neck region and double chin.
- Natural and long-lasting effect – Since HIFU treatment is non-invasive and non-surgical, it provides a natural effect that maintains the patient’s youthful appearance. The effect of one session may also last between 9 to 12 months and even longer with maintenance sessions.
- Safe with minimal discomfort – The latest technology is utilized in HIFU treatment to ensure the safety and comfort of patients who will undergo this particular procedure.
How Long Does HIFU Treatment Last?
The treatment session varies depending on the HIFU results you are aiming for and the exact form of the customised treatment you choose, but most treatment sessions will last somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes.
What Are The Side Effects of Undergoing HIFU Treatment?
Since HIFU treatment is non-invasive, non-surgical, and does not involve any breakage in the skin, there are almost no side effects involved in this procedure. The skin may appear flushed or erythematous after the procedure, but it should resolve after a few hours.
Another reason why HIFU treatment is rising in popularity today is that there is no downtime involved in this procedure. You can naturally ease back into your daily activities after a session of HIFU treatment.
How Should I Prepare for HIFU Treatment?
The best preparation you can do before undergoing HIFU treatment is to seek consultation with your doctor. You can discuss your concerns, queries, and doubts before undergoing HIFU treatment. Aside from this, there are no special preparations needed for HIFU treatment.
When Will I See The Result of HIFU Treatment?
Most patients who undergo HIFU treatment can already witness the change after a single session. The effects of this procedure usually last approximately around 9 to 12 months. However, more sessions may be necessary to achieve the patient’s desired results. The number of sessions required may also depend on the area that your patient wants to target.
After an initial session of HIFU treatment, patients may need an annual session to maintain the healthy and radiant appearance of the individuals who undergo this procedure.
Is HIFU Treatment Worth It?
Since HIFU treatment is deemed a safe, effective, and non-surgical procedure, it is worth every penny you would pay. Unlike surgical facelifts and procedures, it offers no downtime. You also do not have to worry about scarring or incisions because it does not involve going under the knife.
Aside from these reasons, HIFU treatment also costs less than the typical surgical procedures that tighten the skin.
With the benefits HIFU treatment brings, it is indeed worth a try!
How Much Does HIFU Treatment Cost?
