With HIFU specific areas are targeted with high-intensity focused ultrasound technology. Unlike lasers, the HIFU procedure targets directly into the deep structural tissues where the collagen lives.
When the cells in our skin reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. This is actually beneficial because it stimulates them produce more collagen which provides structure for healthy looking skin!
The high-frequency ultrasound waves cause minimal damage to the skin’s upper layers and adjacent tissue because they’re focused on a specific tissue site below.
HIFU is not a good option for people with infections and open skin lesions at the treatment area, severe or cystic acne, as well as those who have metallic implants in their face.
*Results are best for patients over 30 with moderate skin laxity (skin firmness/structure).
