High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a safe, non-surgical treatment to help lift sagging skin on the face and neck. It gives you a firmer, younger and lifted skin. As in the name, it uses ultrasound energy that helps to stimulate collagen production by delivering the optimal temperature into the deeper layers of your skin. The high-frequency beams used in HIFU devices can help it to reach beneath the layers of the skin, all without disrupting or damaging the skin’s surface. HIFU lifts and tones the face, neck, and eyes resulting in a dramatic yet natural uplift, without needing any surgery, with longstanding results.

Ultrasound energy has wavelengths that can precisely penetrate deep into the deep tissues with higher temperature compared to other treatments. The resulting heat from HIFU device will increase blood and lymphatic circulation as well as the natural healing process, which in turn will stimulate growth of collagen and elastin. The result is firmer skin, less sagging, and fewer wrinkles.

Q6: What is difference between Thermage and HIFU?
