HIFU; It is an FDA-approved application in which tightening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue can be achieved in a single session by sending high-intensity sound waves to the deep layers of the skin.
The regions where it is most effective are; cheek, chin, jaw line and neck areas.
It is a needle-free procedure. It is held once a year. The application is a single session. It is painless and anesthesia is not needed.
The procedure time is as short as 30-60 minutes and you can continue your social life after the procedure.
It can be combined with other cosmetic applications in the same session.
Its effect occurs in 10% immediately after the procedure, in 50% one month after the procedure, and in 80% after 3 months.
WHAT IS HIFU (NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT)?
High-focused ultrasound (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU); It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce wrinkles, tighten and reshape the skin using high-energy focused ultrasonic waves. HIFU is also known as a non-surgical face lift procedure.
In this method, a highly focused ultrasonic wave source focuses on the target area under the skin surface and applies high heat to the tissue in that area. This heat helps tighten and reshape the skin by increasing collagen production under the skin.
WHY AND IN WHICH CASES IS HIFU (NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT) APPLICATION PERFORMED?
High-focus ultrasound (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU) can be used in skin rejuvenation procedures for cosmetic purposes. This procedure can be applied to help reduce wrinkles, fine lines and sagging on the face.
The HIFU process stimulates the collagen tissue beneath the skin by sending intense heat energy deep into the skin, which can result in skin tightening and rejuvenation. This procedure can also reduce sagging in the jawline and neck area.
HIFU can also be used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures. For example, more effective results can be obtained by applying it together with botox or filling procedures.
However, HIFU may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to be evaluated by a specialist before the procedure, depending on the skin structure and health condition of the person to be treated. Additionally, the HIFU procedure does not provide permanent results and may need to be repeated after a certain period of time.
HOW TO APPLY HIFU (NON-SURGERY FACE LIFT)?
During the high-focus ultrasound (HIFU) process, the skin is first cleaned with an antiseptic solution; Ultrasound gel is applied to the skin. Then, the HIFU head, which acts at the appropriate depth, is placed on the treated area and intense sound waves are focused towards the tissue under the skin. These waves cause heating and coagulation in the tissues under the skin, which subsequently increases collagen production, which creates a tightening and lifting effect.
HIFU is a procedure that can usually be performed without local anesthesia and takes approximately 30-60 minutes. After the procedure, there may be slight redness or swelling on the skin, but this usually disappears within a few hours. No special care is required after the procedure and normal activities can be returned immediately.
TO WHICH AREAS CAN HIFU (NON-SURGERY FACE LIFT) BE APPLIED?
High-focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a treatment method used for purposes such as skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. HIFU uses high-frequency sound waves to focus on deep tissues and increase collagen production under the skin.
The areas where HIFU is most effective are:
Face and neck: The face and neck area is one of the most common application areas of HIFU. It is used for purposes such as skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and jaw line shaping.
Eye area: Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes can be reduced with HIFU treatment. It can also help eliminate under-eye bags and dark circles.
Abdominal area: Sagging and cracks in the abdominal area can be treated with HIFU. It can be used for treatment, skin tightening and body shaping purposes.
Legs and arms: HIFU can also be used on other body areas such as legs and arms. The treatment can help tighten the skin and give it a smoother appearance.
WHEN IS HIFU (NON-SURGERY FACE LIFT) APPLICATION DONE? WHEN WILL THE EFFECT OCCUR?
High-focused ultrasound (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU) process; It can be applied in all seasons. The time it takes for post-procedural effects to appear may vary from person to person.
Generally, a feeling of healing and tightening of the skin can be observed in the first weeks after the procedure. These effects usually become more evident in the first month. After the HIFU procedure, as collagen production in the skin increases, the skin may appear firmer, fuller and younger.
However, it may take several months for the full effects to be seen after the HIFU procedure. Because collagen production in the skin takes time and this production process starts after the procedure. Therefore, it may be necessary to wait a few months for the effects after the HIFU procedure to fully appear.
Positive effect of the procedure; It occurs in 10% immediately after the procedure, in 50% one month after the procedure, and in 80% after 3 months.
TO WHOM CAN HIFU (NON-SURGERY FACE LIFT) BE APPLIED?
High-focus ultrasound (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU) procedure is generally applied to reduce signs of aging. Therefore, it can be applied to people who have signs of aging on their skin, have a heavy face and cheeks, have a prominent chin, and are generally over the age of 30.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AFTER HIFU (NON-SURGERY FACE LIFT) APPLICATION?
It is important to pay attention to the following points after the High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) procedure:
Your skin may be sensitive after the procedure, so it is important to avoid sun exposure. Sun rays can further irritate and damage your skin.
You may experience slight redness or swelling on your skin after the procedure. This is a normal reaction and is expected to subside within a few hours. If swelling or redness is severe or persists for a long time, you may need to contact your doctor.
