Yes, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is FDA-approved for prostate cancer treatment and non-invasive face and neck skin lifting and tightening. The SMAS muscle tightens skin for a lifted, revitalized appearance. When targeting HIFU waves to the proper regions of the face, ultrasound imaging helps target concentrated ultrasound energy, tightening the skin effectively.
Sagging skin, collagen rejuvenation, and absolute wrinkle removal are addressed with many cartridges for shallow face and décolleté layers.
Collagen procedure takes time, thus effects take 10-12 weeks to manifest. The heat produces some rapid results. For more severe conditions, a second treatment may be necessary after three months to achieve greater outcomes.
When someone does not yet require surgery but has mild to moderate skin laxity around the neck, the HIFU Lift Face Treatment is usually advised. It is also a good choice for people who would rather have less downtime and no invasive procedure.
Skin that is loose or lax on the face, neck, chest, breasts, abdomen, knees, elbows, and pretty much anywhere else that requires tissue minor "shrinkage" or reduction/lift can be treated with Ulthera.
With lasers, superficial skin layers (wrinkles, fine lines, and pigment changes) are usually improved from the outside in. By targeting the deep skin layer and the foundational layer that plastic surgery addresses, which provide support to the skin, HIFU works from the inside out to lift and tighten skin without the need for surgery. Bypassing the top layers of skin, ultrasound delivers the precise quantity of energy at the precise depths to cause the soft tissue to contract, eventually lifting it.
Targeted ultrasonic radiation is applied to the skin's deep base and dermis layer. This generates heat, which sets off the body's natural reaction mechanism, reviving weakened collagen and replenishing it with new, fresh collagen.
Individual comfort thresholds differ. While the energy is being administered, there might be a little discomfort, but it will only last a short while and indicate that the collagen-building process has begun. To ensure that your experience is as enjoyable as possible, there are numerous comfort measures accessible.
Some may not require anesthetic because the pain is not severe, although there may be a brief sensation of throbbing or stiffness in the deeper layer of the skin.
Daily activities like applying makeup and cleaning your skin following the procedure are possible because it is applied to the skin's deep layer without harming the skin's surface.
