HIFU Facelift

The Science Behind it

HIFU facelift is also known as the Ultrasound facelift, Ultrasound therapy. The HIFU non-surgical facelift delivers ultrasound at targeted depths of 1.5mm, 3mm and 4.5mm.It is able to target the dermal tissue at these specific and focussed depths unlike any other skin tightening technologies, creating a healthier and tighter dermis, from inside out. Which is why it takes 60-180 days for full results to be visible as it takes time for the collagen to renew and the underlying treated skin to come to the surface. The 1.5mm and 3mm head works on the dermal tissue. The focused ultrasound delivers its energy to focused points on these layers, causing immediate trauma which triggers a healing response and signals the collagen and elastin to renew. The 4.5 mm head works on the deeper SMAS layer of the skin which attaches the skin and the muscle, known as the Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System. During the HIFU treatment, the focused energy is delivered to this layer which has a contracting and tightening effect. The trauma and repair response of the SMAS layer can take 90-180 days and will give a longer lasting and more durable result.
