Hifu – non surgical face lift

What is Hifu, how does it work?

HIFU (High-intensity focused ultrasound) is a method that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves. This method has been used in medicine for many years, but recently experts have found its application in skin aesthetics.
The mechanism of HIFU in skin aesthetics mainly relies on the use of high-intensity ultrasound waves to affect the layers of tissue under the skin. Below are the steps in the mechanism of operation of the HIFU machine:

1. Generate ultrasound waves
The HIFU machine emits high-frequency ultrasound waves, usually from 1.5 MHz to 4.0 MHz. These waves are inaudible and are used to affect the tissues below the skin surface.

2. Focus energy
Ultrasound waves are focused on a specific point under the skin, usually at a depth of 1.5 mm to 4.5 mm. Depending on the treatment goal (lifting, skin tightening, wrinkle reduction), the doctor will choose the appropriate depth for the customer. When the ultrasound energy is focused on the target, it will create a high temperature area.

3. Heat generation
Ultrasound energy creates temperatures up to 60-80 degrees Celsius in the target tissues. This heat is high enough to stimulate the body's natural response without damaging the skin surface.

4. Stimulate collagen production
High temperatures temporarily damage tissue cells, stimulating the body to produce collagen and elastin, two important components that help the skin to be firm and elastic. The collagen regeneration process takes place over several months, providing a lifting effect and improving skin condition.

5. Long-term results
After completing one side, the customer can see the difference from the other side. This is an immediate and temporary effect when there is a thermal impact on the subcutaneous tissues.
