HIFU

HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly.

Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. While this may seem counterintuitive, the damage actually stimulates the cells to produce more collagen — a protein that provides structure to the skin.

The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent issue.

HIFU may not be appropriate for everyone. In general, the procedure works best on people older than 30 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.

People with photodamaged skin or a high degree of loose skin may need several treatments before seeing results.

Older people with more extensive photo-aging, severe skin laxity, or very saggy skin on the neck aren’t good candidates and may need surgery.

HIFU isn’t recommended for people with infections and open skin lesions at the target area, severe or cystic acne, and metallic implants in the treatment area.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), HIFU and other nonsurgical alternatives to facelifts have seen a major increase in popularity over the last few years. The total number of procedures performed has increased 64.8 percent between 2012 and 2017.

HIFU has many aesthetic benefits, including:

• wrinkle reduction

• tightening sagging skin on the neck (sometimes called turkey neck)

• lifting the cheeks, eyebrows, and eyelids

• enhancing jawline definition

• tightening of the décolletage

• smoothing the skin

Study results are promising. A 2017 study involving 32 Korean people showed that HIFU significantly improved skin elasticity of the cheeks, lower abdomen, and thighs after 12 weeks.

In a larger study of 93 people, 66 percent of those treated with HIFU perceived an improvement in the appearance of their face and neck after 90 days.

At Star Medispa, we offer HIFU treatment in Sydney, a revolutionary form of therapy that uses ultrasound energy that is targeted on areas of skin, just under the surface. Our HIFU in Sydney uses ultrasound energy to heat specifically targeted areas of tissue rapidly. As a result, cellular damage occurs, which naturally stimulates the cells to produce more of the protein that accounts for a large proportion of the skin’s structure, collagen.

Naturally, this will depend on the area and the amount of treatment you require, but you will find that our HIFU skin tightening in Sydney prices are very reasonable.
