High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, commonly called HIFU, is an anti-aging skin lifting treatment, especially for the face and neck. Ultrasonic waves similar to the ones we use in a USG machine are used. The intensity is much more and these waves are focused on the dermal layers of the skin and the deeper dermal layers. When these waves pass through the skin they create heat and this heat stimulates controlled tissue damage that further leads to Neo Collagenases. This new collagen formation leads to a firming of previously loose skin, improving the appearance of that part of the skin.
The effects are seen within a month and last quite a long time. Depending on the individual's lifestyle, it can last 8 – 12 months or more. It is advised to get the repeat session done at least once every 6 months but not more than 3 times a year. This would further depend on how the client responds to the first session. In cases of very bulky faces or very sensitive skin, a second treatment may need to be given after 2 months. Gradual improvement is seen over 1 to 2 months. The procedure takes around 90 minutes to execute.
Doctors usually start HIFU facial rejuvenation by cleansing the selected area of the face and using a gel. Then, they use a handheld machine to emit the ultrasound waves quickly. Each session generally lasts thirty to ninety minutes.
Some say mild pain during the treatment, and some have pain after that. Doctors may apply a local anesthetic to help prevent this discomfort before the process. Over-the-time pain relievers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil), might also help.
HIFU facials do not require any pre-preparation. When a session is complete, there is also no recovery time, meaning people can do their daily activities after receiving HIFU treatment. People may require between one and seven sessions, depending on the results they want to achieve.
