High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU and Radiofrequency) offers effective skin tightening and its one of the most popular non surgical face lift and body sculpting treatment. schedulicity.com/scheduling/ABDXZQ(opens in a new tab
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), ‘Ultherapy’ or ‘Ultrasound Facelift’ has become one of the most popular, non surgical skin tightening treatment for the face and body. It targets individually Brow lifting, Jowl line lifting, Nasolabial fold reduction, Periorbital wrinkle reduction and overall face and body skin tightening and rejuvenation.
The highly focused acoustic energy creates thermal coagulation zones at 3 different selected depths following which a wound healing response results in the formation of new collagen thus providing a longer term tightening of the skin. Generally a noticeable improvement in the patients facial contouring and fine lines and wrinkles will be visible within a 4-6 weeks period whilst further improvement in facial skin tightening and wrinkles will be reportedly seen up to 12 weeks.
The reason the treatment can be so effective is its ability to penetrate at multiple deep levels. While some technologies can effectively target the superficial dermis, high-intensity focused ultrasound can target the dermis and the SMAS layers, which is the same layer adjusted by doctors during a facelift surgery. Unlike surgery, however, it does not require downtime and is far more affordable.
Radiofrequency (RF) is commonly used procedure to stimulate collagen production and strengthen the skin structure. This is a great way of reducing fine lines and wrinkles, enlarge pores and improving skin tone and texture as well as dull skin. It can also be used for body tightening (for the best results, in conjunction with HIFU). RF also improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage and provides a better oxygen supply and greater toxin clearance.
Cyclone RF combines multi-polar technology and rotating technology to re-bond collagen fibers within the skin and reinforce delicate skin against aging.
