HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
What is HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)?
Known for its strong ability to lift and firm the skin. HIFU Skin Firming is a non-invasive medical device that stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. Compared to other skin firming treatments, HIFU delivers a precise amount of intense ultrasound energy that penetrates deeper to the superficial muscular level and fibrous tissue that forms the structure of your face and neck. As a result, it stimulates the cells for collagen production and tissue rejuvenation. It’s FDA-approved to lift the skin on the face and neck. Common treatment areas include:
- Full face
- Brow and forehead
- Chin
- Neck (“turkey neck”)
- Stomach
- Stretch marks
HIFU can be used with Dermal Filler and Botulinum toxin(Botox) to help see the result faster and last longer.
