Facial Skin Tightening
The next-generation rejuvenation treatment
The Hifu (High intensity focused ultrasound) and Radio Frequency facelift is one of the newest and most sought after non-surgical treatments around.
The treatment sends targeted ultrasound energy to the deeper dermal and subdermal layers of the skin. Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature this results in micro injury to that tissue. The micro injury stimulates collagen production. As the tissue heals collagen fibres organise and shorten, a tightening effect is seen in the tissue.
This process creates a tighter, firmer and more lifted and youthful appearance. It improves elasticity, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and sculpts the face.
HIFU targets the deep foundation layer – same layer as addressed in cosmetic surgery. It won’t duplicate the results of a surgical face lift however, it is a great alternative, especially for those not ready for surgery or for people looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery. Hifu is a long-term solution rather than either botox or fillers as it stimulates your own collagen fibres rather than by injecting a foreign substance. Individual results will vary.
