High-Intensity Focussed Ultrasound

How it works:

HIFU, also known as high intensity focused ultrasound, is a surgical free non-invasive pain-free approach to face lifts. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen resulting in firmer tighter skin.

The treatment uses Ultrasound energy to targets the deeper layers of the skin which causes the skin to rapidly heat up causing cellular damage. This damage causes the body to produce more collagen, which is what is responsible for the structure of the skin. The increase in collagen results in remodeling of the collagen and results in elastin contraction (firmer tighter skin)

SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) - The treatment targets the SMAS layer which is just above the muscle layer. This
