Aging is always a woman’s biggest enemy, so in the beauty industry, the demand for anti-aging treatments is always high.
There are many anti-aging and firming products on the market, including skin care products, aesthetic device, medical machines, RF therapy equipment, etc.
Among them, the effects of HIFU on anti-aging and face lifting have been recognized by the market. So what kind of treatment results can be achieved by using HIFU machine treatment? What are the changes before and after treatment? This article will take you to learn more about it.
What is HIFU?
The full name of HIFU is “High-Intensity Focused ULtrasound”. This is an ultrasonic medical beauty device that focuses energy on one point through the principle of high-energy focusing of sound waves, and transmits energy point-to-point to the deep SMAS fascia layer of the skin. It is a “non-invasive” therapy.
The energy transmitted to the subcutaneous layer will form a thermal coagulation point, which will shrink and tighten the originally loose fascia layer through thermal stimulation, and stimulate collagen proliferation, so as to achieve the effect of layer-by-layer lifting and tightening, reduce wrinkles, and increase skin elasticity.
Therefore, HIFU is often used for anti-aging treatments such as wrinkle removal, skin tightening, and fat dissolution.
What is HIFU Treatment?
HIFU uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to act on the skin, and has different probes that can act on the epidermis, dermis, and fascia, which could only be reached by surgical facelifts. It can tighten and lift the skin from deep to shallow, and a single treatment can achieve a significant rejuvenation effect. With the continuous proliferation and reorganization of collagen, the skin presents an overall younger state. Multiple tips act on different skin layers, comparable to surgical facelifts, with faster and more amazing results.
Compared with general anti-aging treatments, HIFU treatment can directly act on the deep skin layer – the SMARS fascia layer, and the skin lifting effect is more significant. Simply put, through ultrasonic treatment, the lost collagen, elastic fibers, and muscle tension of the skin are replenished from the inside out, restoring firmness and elasticity.
How does HIFU Work?
HIFU uses the principle of focusing ultrasonic thermal energy. It bypasses the epidermis through fractional clustered heat transfer. Without cutting the epidermis, the ultrasonic knife beauty probe emits a matrix molecular energy wave that vibrates up to 6-12 million times per second to penetrate into the subcutaneous cells to damage the subcutaneous cells. At a depth of about 1.5-4.5mm under the skin, the energy is directly applied to the deep fascia.
The radio frequency electric field forms a focusing surface in the fascia layer, strongly impacts the dermis tissue, and produces an electric field gathering effect on the dermis tissue, raising the subcutaneous temperature to about 60~70℃, ensuring the effective thermal damage of the heat in the dermis fiber layer, triggering the body to start repairing regenerative cells and repairing fascia, and achieving better lifting and tightening effects.
Advantages of HIFU
1. Deepest Depth
The depth is 1.5mm~4.5mm. In addition to the fibrous septum, it can also act on the deeper SMAS layer.
2. Hottest Temperature
The treatment temperature can reach 65℃~70℃, stimulating the compact regeneration of deep collagen and elastic fibers, making it rapidly upgraded, and rearranging cells to form a more perfect skin surface.
3. Extremely Accurate
Highly focused ultrasound positioning, precise treatment without hurting surrounding tissues.
4. Immediately Visible
The lifting and firming effect is immediate.
5. No Surgery
No wounds, say goodbye to surgery.
6. Long-lasting Effects
After one treatment, there will be a long-lasting effect.
Hong Kong Patient Before & After Treatment
The following is a treatment case of a 27-year-old female patient from Hong Kong. First of all, we learned that this patient had very poor living habits, staying up late almost every day, and having an irregular work and rest schedule. After HIFU treatment, she got excellent treatment results.
Before Treatment
Before the treatment, this patient had obvious wrinkles at the junction of her nose and cheeks, and her nasolabial folds were very obvious and deep.
She was very happy with the HIFU treatment and looked forward to getting better results.
End of Treatment
At the end of the HIFU treatment, even if the treatment has just ended, the patient’s skin condition has changed slightly. The nasolabial folds in the central area of the nose and cheeks can be seen to become tight and tight immediately after the treatment. This is the initial change of skin firmness.
The patient is very pleased and has begun to imagine what kind of results can be obtained after a period of treatment. The patient is very much looking forward to it.
After Treatment
The above picture shows the patient one month after the treatment. The changes are huge! The nasolabial folds in the central area of the face are now only shallow marks, and the skin in other areas of the face is tight and smooth. The customer is very satisfied with this HIFU anti-aging treatment.
Before and After Photo Comparison
This is a photo before and after HIFU anti-aging treatment, and it was 1 session of treatment! It can be clearly seen that the changes before and after the treatment are very big.
Before HIFU treatment, the patient had deep nasolabial folds in the central area of the face, more fine lines on the skin, and loose skin in the cheek area. After one month of HIFU treatment, the patient achieved the best treatment results. The facial skin was firm and delicate, the fine lines were completely removed, and the most difficult nasolabial folds were greatly improved. From the initial deep nasolabial folds wrinkles, now only shallow marks are left. The effect is excellent, the customer is very satisfied, and this skin condition can continue to be maintained for 1 and a half years.
Things to Note After Treatment
- Be careful not to rub the treated area too hard.
- Be sure to wash the skin with clean water.
- You can wear light makeup, but be sure to use non-irritating makeup removers to remove makeup.
- Try to use mild skin care products that do not contain irritating ingredients.
- Try to avoid outdoor sports, and take good sun protection when going to places with strong sunlight.
- After the operation, you should refrain from smoking and drinking, and pay attention to a healthy diet.
FAQs About HIFU Treatment
Q: How long can the effect of HIFU treatment last?
After HIFU treatment, the immediate lifting effect is 20%-30%.
After 1 to 3 months, the effect will gradually improve. The firming and lifting feeling is enhanced, the facial lines are gradually obvious, the wrinkles are reduced, and the skin is gradually smooth. The best effect is after 6 months.
Usually, after 1 session, the treatment results can be maintained for 1 to 1.5 years.
Q: What are the treatment areas of HIFU machine?
The treatment areas of HIFU are mainly the face, around the eyes, and the neck, but some parts of the face have a large number of nerves and blood vessels that cannot be operated on. Therefore, HIFU may theoretically damage the facial nerves.
Q: What are the side effects and precautions after HIFU treatment?
HIFU side effects: After treatment, there may be slight swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising. The symptoms will gradually disappear in 1 to 2 weeks, and you can go back to work immediately after treatment. HIFU’s high temperature concentration treatment will cause abnormally dry skin, so you need to do enough skin hydration.
Notes: Do not touch water within 6 hours after treatment, do not exercise or wear makeup on the same day. Pay attention to sun protection, do not use radio frequency or other laser equipment within two weeks, and do not expose to the sun or steam sauna or hot springs in a high temperature environment.
Q: Who is suitable for HIFU treatment?
- People with wrinkles on their skin (crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, nasolabial wrinkles, neck wrinkles, stretch marks, thigh fat wrinkles).
- People with aging, loose, sagging skin (blurred jawline, double chin, sagging eye corners, sagging eyebrow tails).
- People with loose and bloated skin (loose skin and fat on the face, abdomen, arms, and buttocks).
