What is HIFU Facelift?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment is a new technology that will help solve your skin ageing problems and get younger-looking skin without damaging the surface of your skin. It is a non-surgical facelift treatment that tightens and lifts saggy skin.No incision, no injection, no downtime, safe and effective. This treatment is ideal for people who don’t want to go under the knife or pain tolerance is low.
HIFU Facelift treatment uses a high-intensity focused ultrasound energy that penetrates the layers of the skin (fascia, deep dermis and subcutaneous fibrous tissue)and heats up to produce new collagen. The new collagen produced makes skin firmer and tighter. The greater amount of new collagen produces a result of firmer and tighter skin.

There are more several medical devices used for HIFU facelift treatment. Ulthera and Ultraformer 3 are some of them which have the same goal, that is to make your skin tighter and younger-looking.
