HIFU
WHAT IS HIFU?
HIFU (High-intensity focused ultrasound) is best known for contouring, lifting and tightening the face and neck.
It also gets rid of double chins & turkey necks. It’s the best non-invasive double chin removal option on the market with no down time.
Main HIFU Depths & Their Targets:
1. 1.5 mm Depth (Epidermis & Superficial Dermis):
Target: Superficial layers of the skin.
Effect: Improves skin texture, fine lines, and surface tightening. Great for delicate areas like around the eyes and forehead.
Common Areas: Forehead, under-eye areas, and fine lines.
2. 3.0 mm Depth (Mid-Dermis):
Target: Deeper dermal layers, where collagen and elastin production happens.
Effect: Stimulates collagen remodeling, improves skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and firms the skin.
Common Areas: Cheeks, jawline, and neck.
3. 4.5 mm Depth (SMAS Layer - Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System):
Target: SMAS layer, which surgeons lift during a facelift.
Effect: Provides a lifting effect by tightening the muscle layer and deeper structures.
Common Areas: Lower face, jawline, and under the chin (for jowl lifting and contouring).
