The reality is that as we humans age, our skin tends to loose elasticity, but fortunately with modern technology, there are a number of cosmetic procedures, which effectively tighten the skin, reduce sagging and restore youthful bounce to your skin. Popular procedures include radio frequency, IPL, laser resurfacing, botox, and the one we focus on here, which is HIFU treatment.
Due to its effectiveness, HIFU facial treatment is becoming increasingly popular and in demand. Read on to learn how HIFU facial treatment works, what type of results you can expect to enjoy, and why HIFU is a must have treatment offering for your medspa or salon business.
Overview
What is HIFU Facial Treatment & How Does it Work?
- First the doctor or esthetician cleans the patient’s face and applies gel. Then the handle of the HIFU machine makes contact with the facial skin and a “shot” of high intensity energy is released, causing the transmission of radio frequency energy deep within the sagging skin, creating heat. This heat damages the skin cells and encourages these cells to try to repair themselves.
- As part of the repair process, collagen is created. Collagen is the crucial substance in the body that promotes structure and elasticity. If an area of the body, such as the face, is lacking in collagen, the skin will show wrinkles and sagging. And if there is plenty of collagen, the skin responds by being smooth, elastic and healthy.
- A complete HIFU facial treatment can take about 45 minutes - 1 hour and, depending on the HIFU machine, 500 or more “shots” of energy may be applied on each part of the face.
- Because HIFU can be so effective at boosting collagen in the facial tissues, the skin tightening and smoothing results can be dramatic, but they do not fully manifest immediately. That’s because the cellular repair process that’s been activated will continue for weeks to come. Yes you may experience some instant results, however to fully achieve one’s desired beauty goals, regular HIFU facial treatments spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart are often required.
What are the Benefits of HIFU Facials vs Surgical Facelift?
The obvious advantages of HIFU over invasive facelift is less risk and less pain, but also HIFU is a more reasonable cost for the receiver. While a surgical facelift usually will cost more than $10,000, each HIFU session will typically cost $500-$1500.
