What is 3D HIFU Facelift & Fat Loss?

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a new FDA approved non-invasive technology for face lift and fat loss/reduction.

 

Facelift

HIFU treatments tighten the skin and tone superficial muscles of the face, neck and under the chin. This can improve ones appearance by, for example, reducing a double chin. We know that as skin matures, collagen fibers lose elasticity and the muscles that provide internal support lose their tone. Ultrasound energy reaches deep below the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s own natural and gradual repair process. Over time, this results in the generation of new healthy collagen and tightening of the skin. HIFU, or ultherapy, is also associated with a variety of positive skin changes, such as a brightened appearance and refreshed look.

 

Treatments involve the delivery of focused thermal energy to the dermis and Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS), which causes muscle tissue contraction and collagen formation. Depending on individual needs, HIFU energy can target up to three layers of skin (dermis, subcutaneous fat & SMAS layers). Ultrasound energy stimulates the deep structural layers of the skin, but without the need for incisions that disrupt the skins surface. This procedure is therefore safe and requires no downtime.

 

 

Fat Loss

HIFU is the latest technology for fat loss. Ultherapy, or HIFU, can target specific areas of fat with the fastest possible treatment time.

 

The HIFU handpiece can deliver focussed ultrasound waves to a precise depth at the subcutaneous fat layer to cause necrosis/destruction of fat cells, tightening the skin in the area treated. The treated fat cells are removed by the body’s natural fat removal process via the immune system. This process continues for up to 6 months post treatment. Results of fat loss vary from person to person due to family history, age and different skin types. But most people can expect a 2-4 cm abdominal circumference size reduction.
