HOW DOES HIFU WORK?
3D HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) energy is beamed below the skin. HIFU effects three layers of the superficial and dermis along with SMAS, which is the same layer of tissue that surgeons pull tight in a face lift. As a thermal energy safely heats this tissue, the skin contracts resulting in tightening of the skin and formation of new collagen, which provides a longer-term tightening effect.

WHAT AREAS ARE TREATABLE WITH HIFU?
The jawline, nasilabial folds, sagging eyelids, loose neck fold, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone or texture and large pores. The highly focused acoustic energy creates thermal coagulation zones at 3 different selected depths.

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
You may see some initial effect, but the main lifting and tightening will take place over 2-3 months as new collagen is made. This collagen regeneration process continues up to 6 months after the initial treatment.

 

IS IT SAFE?
Certificated by the Korean FDA and CE cleared for eyebrow lifting this high-intensity focused ultrasosund(HIFU) device also achieve excellent aesthetic outcomes in Jowl lifting, nasolabial fold reduction, periobital wrinkle reduction and overall skin tightening and rejuvenation in targeted areas. Ultra therapy has been used safely in over 200,000 treatments worldwide.

 

IS HIFU PAINFUL?
Discomfort levels vary from person to person. Most of people tolerate the treatment well while the energy is being delivered. Pain and discomfort associated with the treatment are temporary and are only experienced during the treatment.

 

ARE MEN GOOD CANDIDATES FOR HIFU?
Men are very good candidates for ultra therapy treatment since there is no recovery time needed, allowing them to immediately return to their daily activities, making 3D HIFU ideal lunch-time treatment for both men and women.

HOW MANY SESSIONS OF HIFU WILL I NEED?
The majority of people only need one treatment. Touch-up treatments could be performed in 1 year intervals, depending in the degree of lifting and tightening required.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TREATMENT?
There is no downtime with HIFU treatment, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some redness and/or swelling at first, and you may experience some tingling. These will disappear within hours. These effects mean that the beneficial process of collagen regeneration has begun. HIFU skin tightening is clinically proven to be safe, with natural looking, gradual rejuvenation effects. You will see some of the results immediately, with continuing improvements in the 6 months following your treatment.
