HIFU Treatment
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment also known as HIFU is a cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider a non-invasive and painless replacement for face lifts. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin. The procedure uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly.
Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they undergo cellular damage. While this may seem counterintuitive, the damage actually encourages the cells to generate more collagen, a protein that bestows structure to the skin. The rise in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the HIFU beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no harm to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent tissue. HIFU may not be appropriate for everyone.
