HIFU Skin Tightening: What Is It and How Does It Work?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound skin tightening, or HIFU for short, is a procedure that uses targeted ultrasound technology to help with signs of aging such as skin tone, texture, loss of elasticity and sagging skin. A HIFU treatment is an innovative alternative to cosmetic surgery since it provides many of the same benefits without the dangers of surgery-related complications or extended periods of downtime.
In this post, we explain how the HIFU technology works and what you can expect from this treatment.
What is HIFU ?
So, what is a HIFU treatment? This type of procedure does not use creams, peels or serums to achieve smooth and supple skin. Instead, it uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin’s layers.
Ultrasound energy comes from sound waves that have a higher frequency than what the human ear can detect. These waves carry mechanical energy, which can transform into heat or motion upon striking a material. It’s this energy transfer that is harnessed during a HIFU treatment. The deeper layers of the skin are essentially “injured” and the body repairs the micro injuries by producing more collagen and elastin.
