High-intensity focused ultrasound is referred to as HIFU. With potentially long-lasting benefits, it is a cutting-edge cosmetic technique that may considerably tighten and lift various body and facial regions in only one session, as well as lessen the indications of aging and enhance skin tone.

The use of HIFU in the treatment of tumors is well recognized. 2008 was the first mention of HIFU being used for cosmetic purposes.

In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) subsequently authorized HIFU for brow lifts. Additionally, the FDA authorized the device in 2014 for reducing wrinkles and fine lines on the cleavage and upper breast.

Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of HIFU for tightening wrinkles and elevating the face. Without the dangers of surgery, users might notice improvements within months of therapy.

HIFU has so far demonstrated promise as a procedure that may take the place of a facelift, particularly for younger patients who are hesitant to consent to the dangers and lengthy recovery period associated with surgery.

What affects the face with HIFU?

In order to penetrate the skin layers immediately below the surface, HIFU employs concentrated ultrasonic energy. The tissue heats up fast due to the ultrasonic radiation.

Cell damage occurs as soon as a particular temperature is reached by the cells in the target region. Contrary to what would seem logical, the damage actually encourages cells to generate more collagen, a protein that provides the skin with structure.

The increased collagen causes the skin to be firmer, tighter, and less wrinkled. The upper layers of the skin and the surrounding tissue are not harmed since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are concentrated on a particular tissue site underneath the skin's surface.

Is HIFU effective for everyone?

Not everyone should consider HIFU. The technique generally works best on patients who are over 30 and have mild to severe sagging.

Before seeing benefits, those with severely photodamaged or drooping skin may require many treatments.

Older individuals who have skin that has greater sun damage, neck skin that is severely drooping or very sagging, or both, are not suitable candidates and may require surgery.

People with severe or cystic acne, open skin lesions in the target region, infections, or metal implants in the treatment area shouldn't use HIFU.

Is HIFU painful?

It is not painful to have an HIFU facelift. However, you could experience some pain as the ultrasound is irradiated into the skin, particularly in delicate regions like the chin and the area around the lips.

Is HIFU a safe procedure?

How many sessions of HIFU are required?

Most patients only require one HIFU session. Some patients may benefit from subsequent sessions, depending on the severity of skin laxity, the body's reaction to ultrasound energy, and the mechanism by which each person builds collagen.

One session is generally sufficient for face lifting. 2-3 sessions are advised for the treatment of partial regions, such as the eye area, as well as the neck and specific body parts, such as the inner thighs. If more than one session is required, they should be spaced out by around 6 to 8 weeks.
