What is Hifu?
HIFU stands for “High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound” and is a relatively new cosmetic technology, having only been introduced for use in recent years. HIFU as a form of facial treatment employs the use of concentrated ultrasound energy to the face and neck by a handheld device. It is a non-invasive treatment that helps stimulates the cells, resulting in tissue rejuvenation and collagen production. The overall effect of the treatment is to promote tightening and lifting of the skin in these areas.
HIFU treatment can help stimulate tissue rejuvenation and collagen production – resulting in the tightening and lifting of saggy skin – and can also be used to break down fat deposits. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, this can produce results akin to facial sculpting (but without the need for surgery).
Types of HIFU
Some of the common type of High-intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment are:
- 1- Thermal HIFU: This type of HIFU is used for thermal ablation, or destruction, of targeted tissue. It uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to heat and destroy cancerous or abnormal tissue without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
- 2- Mechanical HIFU: This type of HIFU is used for mechanical tissue disruption, such as breaking up kidney stones or removing blood clots.
Benifits of Hifu Treatment
HIFU is generally recommended for people who are experiencing signs of aging, such as loose or sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, or decreased skin elasticity. HIFU is also beneficial for those who are looking for a non-invasive alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery.
