HIFU

What is HIFU?

High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound (HIFU) (超声刀) is a medical ultrasound device that utilises non-ionizing ultrasonic waves to heat or coagulate tissue. It is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that is used for non-surgical lifting of the face and tightening of the skin.

HIFU body contouring is non-invasive, and has minimal to no downtime. It is will tolerated with topical anaesthesia and rarely requires oral painkillers.

The new micro-pulsed technology in HIFU MPT provides more comfortable and quicker treatment. It is exceptional at fat reduction, allowing doctors to do non-surgical body contouring. Ideal treatment areas include post-childbirth loose skin, underarm fat, bra bulge fat and above-knee fat that other body contouring treatments may not be suitable for.

How does HIFU work?

HIFU treatment creates Thermal Coagulation Points (TCP). Different handpieces that target different depths, from 1.5-4.5mm for Face treatments, and 6.0-13.0mm for Body treatments. There is also an ULTRA BOOSTER pen handpiece which helps with small area skin tightening and penetration of active ingredients into the intended skin depth.

In Normal mode, TCPs stimulate neocollagenesis and skin lifting and tightening. In Micro Pulse mode, micro-TCPs allow bulk heating and fat reduction to allow us to treat stubborn fat areas. For example, double chin, axilliary bra fat and lower abdomen bulge. It is also helpful to in treating patients with heavy cheeks or jowls, with prominent nasolabial lines or marionette lines.

Normal (Dot) Mode

Benefits:

• Collagen Stimulation

• Skin Tightening, Lifting

• Improves Fine Lines and Wrinkles

• Lifts Cheeks and Jowls (V-Lift Effect)

• Improves Ptosis (Eyelid Droop)

• Improves Jawline Definition

Micro Pulse (Linear) Mode

Properties of HIFU

Benefits:

• Contouring for Face and Body

• Evenly distributed, lower temperature point for effective fat melting and volume reduction

• Fat melting reduces weight of cheeks and jowls (Nasolabial lines, Marionette lines) for anti-ageing effect

• Target stubborn fats such as bra fat, armpit fat, abdomen and flank fat.

HIFU is effective in lifting to reverse the effects of gravity and natural ageing, slimming chubby cheeks and removing double chin to achieve a slim V-shaped face, and enhancing your figure with body contouring. Be one step closer to achieve your aesthetic goals in a safe and effective way with HIFU.

Non-Surgical Face Lift

HIFU is fully customisable with the different handpiece depths and both Normal and Micro-Pulse modes to address each individual's different concerns.
