HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to tighten and lift the skin. During the treatment, the practitioner uses a handheld device to deliver the ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, where it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The increased collagen and elastin production helps to improve the tone and texture of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
HIFU is often used to treat sagging or loose skin on the face and neck, but it can also be used to treat other areas of the body, such as the abdomen and thighs. The treatment is generally well-tolerated and has minimal downtime. Results can typically be seen within a few weeks, and they may continue to improve over time. Multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
