Working Mechanism of HIFU
HIFU is a skincare solution that uses ultrasound energy for treating all kinds of dermal issues. This energy targets the collagen-producing region on the dermal layer to remove the unwanted accumulation of fat cells between the skin layers. The effect will be firm skin with a smooth and supple effect.
Collagen is the compound that makes up to 1/3rd of the overall protein content in the body. When compared to the protein content in the body, collagen is present in very high content, and hence makes the skin look more beautiful and shiny.
As skin ages, the body will start producing less protein or collagen. This results in the accumulation of more fat cells between the dermal layers making the skin look saggy or stretched in certain regions. Hifu can target all these unwanted fat cells and remove them completely from the dermal layers.
Treatment Duration
The area of the HIFU treatment will determine the actual time duration required for the effects of the procedure. For instance,
- If the area is the full face, then the treatment requires 60 minutes.
- If it is just the eyebrow region, then the time required is 30 minutes.
- If the area is the neck and decollete region, then the time required is 150 minutes.
Pain Levels
The studies on the patients after this treatment have revealed the fact that the patients will not experience more than a tingling sensation in the region. The treatment will feel like a mild electric shock on the region and the effect will be easily tolerable. There is no reported downtime after the treatment.
Effects of the Treatment
The expected duration of the treatment can be seen immediately and can be felt for more than 2 to 3 months. The effect of the treatment will also trigger the natural collagen production mechanism of the treatment. However, the patients are suggested to book the next sitting to make sure that the effects can be carried along for a few more times.
