About Non surgical face lifting with HIFU

A high intensity focused ultrasound facial, or HIFU facial for short, is a noninvasive treatment for facial aging. This procedure is part of a growing trend for anti-aging treatments that provide some of the benefits of a facelift without the need for surgery.

These less invasive treatments have a shorter recovery period than surgical options, but the results they provide are not as dramatic and do not last as long. Due to this, dermatologists recommend HIFU only for mild-to-moderate or early signs ofaging.

In this article, we take a look at what the procedure involves. We also examine how effective it is and whether there are any side effects.

What is it?

• The results of a HIFU facial can last as long as those of surgical procedures.
• A HIFU facial uses ultrasound to create heat at a deep level in the skin. This heat damages targeted skin cells, causing the body to try to repair them. To do this, the body produces collagen to aid in cell regrowth. Collagen is a substance in the skin that gives it structure and elasticity.

According to the Cosmetic Surgery, nonsurgical ultrasound treatments such as HIFU facelifting can:

• Tighten the skin on the neck
• Reduce the appearance of jowls
• Lift drooping eyelids or eyebrows
• Smooth wrinkles on the face
• Smooth andtighten chest skin

The type of ultrasound that this procedure uses is different than the ultrasound that doctors use for medical imaging. HIFU uses high energy waves to target specific areas of the body.
