High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a procedure that uses intensive ultrasound energy to treat those layers of skin that are right below the surface. The aim is to heat the targeted area so that the cells under that high temperature are experience damage. The damage caused results in the stimulation of the cells so that it produces more collagen which helps in the rejuvenation of the skin.

HIFU is best suited for those looking for:

• Reducing wrinkles
• tightening loose skin
• lifting the cheeks
• enhancing your jawline

Procedure

The specialist will first clean the area and remove any makeup, dirt, oil and impurities on the skin. After this a layer of ultrasound gel shall be applied to the skin. The HIFU device is then placed against the skin so that the ultrasound energy is transmitted to the target area in short pulses. A session lasts for about 30 to 90 minutes. Depending on how your skin reacts, further sessions will be scheduled.

Healing Time

Slight heat and tingling sensation may be experienced. One can resume daily activities immediately after the procedure.
