High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound is one of the most popular facelift cosmetic procedures in modern medicine. Also known by its acronym HIFU, the non-surgical treatment regimen involves the use of ultrasound rays in tighten facial skin, which results in the face appearing younger and fuller.

How the Procedure Works on Tighten Facila Skin

As aforementioned, HIFU is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure where ultrasound rays are directed on areas of the face displaying ageing. The ultrasound rays heat up the deep layer of the skin known as the dermis, which contracts and results in the tightening of the muscles. Another component of the skin impacted by the ultrasound ray beam is the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, which also contracts upon heating.

The procedure also helps in stimulating the skin to produce collagen, a protein whose role is the firming of the skin. The ultrasound beams also strengthen existing collagen in the skin significantly. Due to its ability to work in the deep layers of the skin, HIFU has results that last for a long time. The effects of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound are not immediately apparent; they take time to manifest, usually between one to six weeks.

Other Areas to Apply HIFU Treatment

The treatment procedure is not exclusive for the face.

Some of the areas that HIFU treatment is applicable on (besides the face) include:

  • The neck (tightening and lifting)
  • The feet (removing those crow’s feet)
  • The arms (eliminating all wrinkles)
  • The jowl (lifting the jowl)
  • The abs (tightening the lower and upper abs)

Benefits of HIFU Treatment

There are a ton of reasons that explain why HIFU treatment has grown in popularity in recent years.

Who Needs HIFU Treatment

The procedure is aimed at alleviating the signs of ageing. Therefore, it is perfect for people over the age of 40.
