What is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound?
Micro-focused ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. It stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, leading to a firmer, more youthful appearance over time.
What are the key features of this latest ultrasound technology?
- Non-surgical – No incisions or downtime.
- FDA-approved – For lifting skin on the face, neck, chin, and décolletage.
- Ultrasound technology – Targets deeper layers (like the SMAS, the same layer tightened in a facelift).
- Gradual results – Improvement over 2–3 months, with full effects in about 6 months.
- Long-lasting – Results can last 1–2 years, depending on skin aging.
What are the ideal treatment areas?
- Eyebrows (for a subtle lift)
- Face & jawline (reduces sagging)
- Neck (tightens loose skin)
- Chest (décolletage) – Improves wrinkles and texture
How does it work?
The device delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy to heat underlying tissues, triggering collagen regeneration without damaging the surface.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients feel a warm, tingling sensation, but discomfort varies. Some areas (like the neck) may be more sensitive.
What should I be expecting after treatment?
- No downtime – Resume normal activities immediately.
- Mild redness/swelling (temporary).
- Gradual tightening over weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Ultrasound vs. other treatments: what are the differences?
- Unlike lasers (which target surface layers), ultrasound goes deeper.
- Alternative to thread lifts or facelifts for mild to moderate sagging.
