HIFU ULTHERAPY
Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization to non-invasively treat the same deep tissue planes as a modern facelift. Similar to a magnifying glass focusing sunlight, ultrasonic energy is precisely targeted to dermal and subdermal tissues.
(High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and Ultherapy are actually very similar treatments. In fact, Ultherapy is a brand name for a specific HIFU device cleared by the FDA for lifting and tightening the skin.
What they do:
- Both HIFU and Ultherapy use ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of your skin without damaging the surface.
- This targeted energy stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity to your skin.
- Over time, this can lead to a lifting and tightening effect, especially in areas with sagging or loose skin.
Treatment Areas:
- HIFU and Ultherapy are commonly used on the lower face and neck to address concerns like:
- Jowls
- Sagging cheeks
- Lines and wrinkles around the mouth and chin
- Loose neck skin
Benefits:
- Both HIFU and Ultherapy offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery for lifting and tightening the skin
- They require minimal downtime and recovery compared to surgery.
- Results may gradually appear over several weeks and can last for up to a year or more with proper maintenance.
