Be Your Best You with HIFU!

HIFU is short for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is commonly performed for non-surgical face lifting and skin tightening to achieve a V Shape Face.

What is HIFU Treatment?

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a medical technology that utilises ultrasound at precise depths for non-surgical tightening and lifting of the skin.

HIFU Facelift treatment can reduce signs of aging by encouraging new collagen production, this will significantly tighten the skin and lift several areas of the face. It also promotes effective tissue repair and melts fats in the face. Best of all, HIFU Facelift treatment has absolutely no downtime and visible results can be seen from the first session.

If you are considering HIFU as a treatment option, it is important to consult with a trained professional to determine the best treatment plan for you. With proper care and maintenance, the results of HIFU can last up to two years, making it a cost-effective and attractive option for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance.

Understanding How HIFU Treatment Works

HIFU targets various layers of your skin; it is a medical procedure that allows the deepest penetration of energy for face lifting and skin tightening. HIFU can provide the same lifting and tightening effect as surgical facelift without having to undergo any surgery!

1.5mm depth

At 1.5mm depth, it reaches superficial dermis to be able to reduce melanin and lighten pigmentation, to brighten skin around eyes and even skin tone.

3mm depth

At 3mm depth, the energy reaches the deep dermis for a skin tightening effect by controlled heating of skin tissue and stimulation of collagen production.

4.5mm depth

At 4.5mm depth, it reaches the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) for skin lifting. The surgeon performs on the SMAS layer during a surgical facelift.

What Areas Can HIFU Treat?

HIFU can be performed on the face and neck to reduce any signs of skin ageing, treating common wrinkles, and to achieve a V Shaped face by enhancing jawline and facial contours.

What to Expect During a HIFU Treatment in Singapore

When the ultrasound energy reaches the skin layer, it will stimulate collagen production which will progressively improve over 4 to 6 weeks as your skin continue to generate collagen.

Results will differ between individuals as collagen production and maintenance is not the same for all. Visible results can already be seen in the first session. However, in order to see the full effect, it is advisable to wait 2 – 3 months.

How Long Do the HIFU Treatment Results Last?

The longevity of HIFU tightening results varies from person to person due to several factors. Generally, HIFU treatments can offer noticeable improvements in skin firmness and elasticity that last between 9 to 12 months. However, some individuals may experience longer-lasting effects, while others may notice gradual changes over time. The following factors play a significant role in determining the duration of HIFU results:

Age and Skin Condition

The age of the individual and their skin condition at the time of treatment can influence the longevity of HIFU results. Younger individuals with milder skin laxity may enjoy longer-lasting effects, as their skin has a more robust capacity to produce and maintain collagen.

If you have more skin laxity, you might require 2 sessions spaced 6 months apart. The process of collagen remodeling takes time, a six month waiting interval is suggested.

Lifestyle and Skincare Routine

A healthy lifestyle and a consistent skincare routine can complement the effects of HIFU, potentially extending the results. Protecting the skin from sun exposure, maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and using appropriate skincare products can all contribute to healthier, more resilient skin.

Individual Response to Treatment

Each person’s body responds uniquely to HIFU treatment. Some individuals may experience a more significant boost in collagen production, leading to longer-lasting results, while others may require maintenance treatments to maintain their desired outcomes.

Environmental Factors

Environmental factors, such as pollution and climate, can impact the skin’s health and aging process. Individuals living in highly polluted areas or exposed to extreme weather conditions might experience a faster breakdown of collagen, potentially affecting the longevity of HIFU results.

Before and After HIFU

You may notice some immediate improvement in the appearance of your skin after the treatment, but it can take several weeks to see the full results. During this time, your skin will continue to produce collagen, resulting in tighter, firmer skin.

The long-term results of HIFU face lifting treatment can vary depending on the individual, but most patients can expect to see improvement in the appearance of their skin for several months or even up to a year after the treatment. To maintain your results, you may need periodic touch-up treatments.

Why Should You Choose HIFU for Face Lifting?
