HIFU

Non-Surgical Face Lift

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 is the technology behind Ultherapy and newer HIFU models such as Ultraformer MPT. It is highly effective at tightening loose skin and muscles, and stimulating collagen and elastin for a natural looking facelift.

HIFU treatment offers a range of benefits, including diminishing wrinkles, enhancing the contour of the jawline, reducing double chin, making the skin smoother, and lifting areas such as the eyelids, eyebrows, cheeks, jowls and neck. This procedure is non-invasive, and has minimal to no downtime. It is will tolerated with topical anaesthesia and rarely requires oral painkillers.

The development of micro-pulsed technology (HIFU MPT) allows division of ultrasound energy waves to much finer points, allowing for a more comfortable and quicker treatment. This mode is also exceptional at fat reduction, allowing doctors to do non-surgical facial contour. Think of V-shaping by reducing cheek fat, and anti-ageing from lifting saggy cheeks. Think of a defined jawline from tightening the skin around the jaw, and reducing double chin fat. Think of non-surgical eyebrow and eyelid lifting. HIFU MPT is also able to target stubborn fat areas for body contouring, such as underarms, bra bulge and above-knee fat.

How does HIFU work?

HIFU operates on the principal of specific target points, called Thermal Coagulation Points (TCP). There are 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.

Normal (Dot) Mode

Micro Pulse (Linear) Mode

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

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.
