HIFU - High-Intensity Focussed Ultrasound

HIFU is a procedure that brings about a non-surgical facelift. The ultrasound waves thus emit heat to the cells and cause controlled cell damage that stimulates collagen production in the long run. Collagen is the primary protein that maintains skin tightness and elasticity. Hence, its increased production helps to deal with fine lines, wrinkles and lax skin.

The energy emitted acts directly on the deeper layers of the skin, such that the outermost visible layer of skin remains unaffected.

Procedure

• The treatment area is prepared under aseptic measures.
• A topical numbing cream is applied to the concerned area.
• Energy is set according to the degree of severity and the site involved.
• The probe is used in regular motions for the required amount of time at a particular area to generate adequate heat energy for collagen stimulation.

There is minimal downtime in the form of mild post-procedure redness that subsides on its own in a few hours.

A single cycle consists of two sessions, 2 weeks apart. The results are maintained for 6 months.

When to Start?

As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, so why hide or camouflage a wrinkle when you can prevent one?

Start early. Start safe. Start non-surgical.
