HIFU stands for High Intensity Focus Ultrasound. HIFU skin tightening is a non-invasive, non-ablative method that allows for energy deposition into the fascia, while avoiding epidermal heating. The beam of the ultrasound energy will pass harmlessly through the skin allowing a focal point to target deep layers of the skin structure.
HIFU can be used on the face and the body to achieve these results:
- Brow lifting
- Jowl lifting
- Mid face lifting
- Reduction of Nasolabial folds
- Reduction of Marionette lines
- Neck lifting
- Lifting of the décolleté
- Breast lifting
- Brazilian Bum lifting
- Abdominal wall tightening
- Skin tightening and rejuvenation of body areas where there is flaccid skin
