High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the methods that is used the most for facial rejuvenation and arm tightening. This procedure, which affects the damaged skin by high intensity ultrasound, triggers collagen production in the body. Thus, sharper and attractive facial lines occur, and a livelier, radiant and tight skin is obtained.
Amount of collagen and elastin decreases in the skin by aging. Such situation results with damaging of the skin. In addition to aging, various other factors may also cause your skin to become dull and saggy, such as genetic structure, life style habits, smoking and alcohol consumption, exposure to sunlight, nutrition disorders and intense stress etc.
Face has a sensitive and thin skin structure. Therefore, effects of aging become visible on the face at first. Wrinkles and deep lines occur around eyes and in the forehead area. Lines that are available around the lip become significant, and fat tissue that is available in lower layers of the skin begins to dissolve. This dissolution causes volume loss and cheeks tend to drop. Therefore, many people are looking for ways to keep their skin healthy and to prevent the signs of aging from occurring on their faces.
As of yet, no treatment is found to stop aging entirely. However, there are many methods, which are applied to protect our skin from environmental effects and to delay the signs of aging.
Face sagging is a problem that occurs by aging. Elderly males and females wish to have an effect of youth that lasts longer. Therefore, they apply to surgical face-lift operations. However, non-surgical face-lift procedures have become very popular today. Yet, since there are too many options, it has become quite difficult for people to decide on the most suitable treatment for them.
Each treatment method has its unique characteristics and advantages. Yet again, it must be noted that High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the most successful and effective facial rejuvenation procedures in recent years. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) changes the appearance of your skin considerably, thanks to the cutting edge technology used in it. It makes sure that you look young and healthy. Therefore, it comes to the fore front as the most advantageous alternative to surgical treatments.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is the most preferred technology in skin rejuvenation and lifting procedures, and it is also a non-surgical technology. This procedure, which is performed by focusing the energy that is produced by sound on the skin, is also referred to as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
A lubricant and coolant gel is placed on the skin prior to the procedure. Selected headpiece circles around the skin based on the pre-determined and drawn mapping, and thus, the procedure is completed. Procedure duration is 45 minutes in average based on the size of the area, on which the procedure will be performed. Then, a soothing moisturizer is used for the mild redness that may occur. Patients may return to work right after the procedure.
Lasers, which are used for skin rejuvenation, are effective on the skin up to a specific depth. HIFU treatment reaches to the fascia tissue that is 4.5 mm below the skin. Laser and radiofrequency devices may not reach such depth. Fascia is the area, which is intervened in skin lifting operations in order to recover the skin. Focused ultrasound treatment focuses on the subcutaneous area and creates heat areas that shrink the fascia tissue. Saggy skin recovers right after the procedure due to shrinkage of fascia. Since focused ultrasound triggers collagen production in the skin, skin continues to recover rapidly even after the procedure, and maximal effects may be observed in the end of three months.
HIFU treatment may be provided on below areas
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the most effective procedures for facial rejuvenation.
HIFU, which provides skin rejuvenation, tightening and recovery without any incisions and without using scalpels, provides a natural rejuvenation by triggering the body’s self-repair characteristic via hyaluronic acid.
Patients begin to see results right after the procedure. Skin becomes tight and a difference begins to be seen on facial lines. Required results may be obtained after only one session. A period of approximately 3 months is required to achieve this.
HIFU ensures that recipients' get;
No matter how good you look after yourself, it is very normal to have sagging underarm skin by aging. It is quite difficult to recover the underarm muscle by doing sport. Therefore, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is used to recover and tighten the underarm area. This method eliminates the deformation that may occur subcutaneously and triggers collagen production. Thus, saggy and loose underarm skin becomes tight and gets a healthy appearance again.
HIFU treatment penetrates subcutaneously by thermal energy. HIFU apparatus is used to tighten tissues, which lost their elasticity and became loos in the leg area. Inner thighs are one of the areas, which lose their elasticity the most in time and which may be listed as one of the most difficult areas to become tight. By high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a direct impact is made on the subcutaneous tissue loss. Collagen production is triggered and thus, it is ensured that the inner thigh becomes tighter.
It is preferred for individuals, who have facial looseness, but who do not wish to undergo a surgery. Facial tightening and recovery are achieved by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, and fat deposits that are available in the double chin area are removed, and thus, recipients get a younger facial appearance.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment is not provided to;
High intensity focused ultrasound treatment, which is provided by HIFU device, may be provided in any season, including summer. This treatment, which does not make any significant effect on the skin, recovers the skin subcutaneously. However, just like in any other season, recipients must protect themselves from harmful effects of the sun in the summer too, and thus, recipients must use sunscreen for such purpose.

The reason why it is such a popular treatment is that, it has no harmful effects. Unlike other rejuvenation treatments, which make an impact on the surface of the skin, this treatment, which makes an impact on lower layers of the skin, does not make any harmful effects on the skin. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound technique, which is a non-surgical treatment, does not cause any incisions or wounds. After the procedure, redness may occur seldomly on the sensitive skin. However, such redness would disappear automatically in a short period. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment has no harmful effects. However, it must be made sure that used device is an FDA-approved device. Otherwise, undesired results may occur.
HIFU procedure, a non-surgical skin tightening treatmen, is performed for one session.
Full results are observed in 30 to 90 days on the skin, on which improvement may be observed right after the procedure. Results of the treatment may last for 2 years.

No, it is not a painful procedure. However, it depends on the pain threshold of the patient. Some individuals may not feel a thing, and some may get a feeling like 'a needle prick'.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment takes 30-60 minutes depending on relative area and number of shots.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) shows its effects immediately, but full results may be observed in 2-3 months. Body begins to produce collagen in this period, and skin becomes more radiant and tighter.
Results of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) last for 1-2 years. However, such period may vary from person to person.
This procedure has been applied in medicine for more than 50 years, and no side effects are observed in clinical studies. In addition to aesthetic purposes, HIFU is an energy technology and procedure, which allows monitor the fetus in mother’s womb.
This treatment, which is effective in saggy skin that may occur in an early age, contours the chin rapidly. It makes the recipient look 5 to 10 years younger visually. However, impact of the treatment is relatively lower on excessively saggy skin.
