HIFU (A Quick Non-Surgical Face Uplift)

· Those who wish to get a safe and advanced skin-lifting treatment in Japan.
· Those with moderate sagging skin.
· Those who wish to tighten and lift facial skin non-surgically.
· Those who wish to stimulate collagen production in the skin.

HIFU (High Density Focused Ultrasound) is a technology that destroys fat cells with a strong force by concentrating the thermal energy of ultrasound at a specific point. 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. Thermal energy can be passed through skin to the target area without damaging the skin by adjusting the desired frequency of ultrasonic wave. The target area may be heated up to 50°C, where fats break down.

Ultra Cell Q Plus / Plus Linear (HIFU) is a non-surgical face lift treatment with fast procedure. 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.The lift up effect can be felt immediately right after the treatment. At our affiliated clinic, HIFU can be done within 10 to 15 minutes. This treatment is recommended for the ones who are concerned about sagging skin on the face as well as the ones with double chin/ chin fat around the neck area.

This device is able to help lift sagging skin non-surgically using the ultrasound technology. There are 3 types of dedicated cartridges enabling a more focused and targeted treatment:
· 1.5mm cartridge treats the superficial dermis layer
· 3.0mm cartridge treats the deep dermis layer
· 4.5mm cartridge treats SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the layer between subcutaneous fat and muscle

You can see the results immediately after treatment, and there are no side effects such as redness or scabs.

Ultra Cell Q Plus Linear is mainly used for the purpose of fat dissolution. It is effective in areas with lots of subcutaneous fat such as chin and neck area. Compared to the typical device, it has linear cartridges, rather than making dot-shaped irradiation; which means that it delivers higher thermal conductivity, this results in it being 6 times more effective. With bulk heating, fat dissolution takes place. It is able to deliver 400 shots in 4.5 minutes, as compared to other devices that may take up to more than 10 minutes, which means faster treatment time. Due to its ability in aiding a quick procedure, patients can expect lesser or minimal pain, as well as minimal to no downtime.

1. Target areas will be cleaned.
2. Local anesthesia may be applied if needed (require 20 minutes extra)
3. An ultrasound gel will be applied.
4. HIFU device will be placed against the skin treatment area.
5. The device will be adjusted to the right setting, after which ultrasound energy will be delivered to the treatment areas in short pulses.

Q1: How many sessions of HIFU will I need?
A1: Most people only need 1 session. However, some prefer to attend a yearly touch-up session.

Q2: How is HIFU different to Laser procedure?
A2: Unlike laser treatment that relies on light energy, HIFU uses sound energy which has unique properties to allow the energy to bypass the surface of your skin to deep foundational layer not matched by any other cosmetic device.

Q3: Will I be able to resume normal routine immediately?
A3: Yes, you may resume your normal activities immediately after. HIFU treatment has no downtime.

Q4: Will it hurt?
A4: No, it will not. However, comfort levels may vary from person to person, but usually the sensation will last only throughout the procedure.

Q5: I started having loose skin on my neck, will this work for me?
A5: Yes. A good candidate for HIFU usually is the one with mild to moderate skin laxity where your skin to be less firm, this includes loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, wrinkles and fine lines on the chest and a few others.
