HiFU face & Neck
Facial HiFU uses Ultrasound Technology to stimulate the skin, which helps by assisting in collagen production to restoring the skin’s vitality, to make your skin look and feel younger and firmer.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider a non-invasive and painless replacement for face lifts. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin.
What is HIFU?
How does the HIFU work?
HIFU effectively treats the superficial and deeper skin layers, as well as the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) with a triple layer lifting effect. The treatment heats up and stimulates existing collagen fibres, causing them to thicken and shorting giving you a long-term tightening and lifting effect.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound is currently the only non-invasive medical device that allows the deepest penetration of energy, targeting depths of 1.5mm, 3mm and 4.5mm, for skin lifting and tightening.
1.5mm depth
THE HIFU GLOW
At this depth HIFU WORKS ITS MAGIC, the High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound is able to lighten Pigmentation,Plump Skin Reduce Acne, Skin redness and Brighten the skin. The amount of melanin in the skin will reduce by a fair amount.
3mm depth
At 3mm, the heating of skin tissue is targeted mainly at skin tightening. Radiofrequency procedures, like Thermage and the Venus Viva Nanofractional RF, are often used for skin tightening via heating the skin. The HIFU is also able target this depth, where structural collagen is situated, and deliver precise energy to stimulate collagen production.
4.5 mm depth
4.5 mm is where the lifting effect takes place. The Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) is usually situated at this depth. This is the layer surgeons tighten when performing a surgical face lift. This means stimulation and tightening of the SMAS layer with the HIFU will provide excellent lifting results.
What is the procedure like?
The Hifu is a comfortable procedure. Patients might feel a mild ache along bony areas, like the jawline. This is due to the ultrasound energy reflecting off the facial contours.
Hifu takes approximately 60 minutes and has minimal downtime. Your skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after the treatment, but any redness will subside within a few hours.
Why do HIFU with us?
At most clinics, skin tightening and facial lifts are standardised procedures. We believe that facial rejuvenation needs to be individualised, from laser procedures to HIFU face lifts. What would be an ideal approach for one patient is not necessarily the same for someone else. During consultation, our Dermal clinician will perform a close examination of your face, to help you better understand which areas of the face can benefit most from HIFU.
Choose the right HIFU
There are only a handful of HSA (Health Science Authority)-approved HIFU procedures that are certified to be operated by trained clinicians. Although many beauty salons also offer ‘HIFU’ procedures, these procedures or machines are not medical grade or HSA-approved for medical use by a trained professional. A HIFU procedure performed at beauty salons might not only yield unsatisfactory results, but could also cause more damage than benefits if performed incorrectly.
The HIFU procedure in our clinic is done with a Second Generation Megacell. Pure skin + Clinic preference for using this HIFU stems down to its effectiveness, safety and it being the most popular HIFU procedure in the world.
