Ultrasound waves
The ultrasound examination is moved over the target areas allowing the ultrasound waves to stretch into the underlying connective tissues and produce the skin-tightening effect you desire.
Since the overlying skin layers stay unaffected, lifting can be done without any trace. This process can be done on the whole face to lift sagging skin. HIFU can treat the eyebrow area, neck region, cheeks and chin. You can choose to treat all areas at once or target only one area.
After Treatment
A single treatment lasts depends on the spot to be treated, but it’s usually between half an hour and 2.5 hours.
Great results are usually achieved after only a single session. Additional treatment may be done no earlier than 8 to 12 months after the first. Using special cosmetics is recommended to promote collagen regeneration and growth.
Are there Side Effects to Worry About?
Plastic surgery comes with a lot of risks, such as scarring. With HIFU, you don’t need to worry about scars. Since the upper layers of the skin are untouched, you can resume your usual routine right after treatment. In some cases, swelling or slight redness may occur. However, these side effects will quickly subside after a few hours.
Patients may also feel a light tingling sensation and sensitivity to touch that can past for a couple of weeks. Temporary local numbness and bruising may also occur, but these cases are extremely rare. If they do occur, they will disappear after a couple of days.
Some contraindications that you need to know include pacemakers, metal implants or silicone injection in the treatment site and blood disorders. For your peace of mind, talk to your doctor about your desire to undergo HIFU treatment.
Why it is preferable?
Called as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU is a technological breakthrough, providing individuals with a non-invasive alternative to surgical operations.
It is usually referred to a medical technology that utilises an acoustic lens to concentrate the beams of ultrasound on different areas.
These beams pass thru tissues. The transmitted energy have useful mechanical and thermal effects on the deep layers of the skin. Doctors also perform the treatment with real-time imaging.
HIFU For You
While other treatments cause irritation or inflammation, HIFU won’t be a burden. Since it’s a non-surgical method, it doesn’t have any side effects. That’s not all! There’s no recovery period for patients can continue their routine as if nothing happens.
Facial wrinkles affect people’s appearance without a doubt. It makes people look older. It impacts your self-esteem, and it affects your productivity in the workplace.
But with one session of HIFU, this sign of ageing can start to disappear. Not only will this give you a vibrant look, but this will also serve as a confidence booster.
When facing a group of people, you will have that courage and confidence to perform. Then, your colleagues or classmates will appreciate your work.
