HIFU FACE LIFT
Authors : DR. P. K. Talwar .
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound(HIFU) directly transmits high energy to skin and subcutaneous tissue that can stimulate and modify the collagen tissue, thus improving the texture of the skin and enable it to contract thus tightening the facial skin and removing jowls etc.
It is thus one of the most popular non surgical technique for face or body lift without any cuts etc.
ADVANTAGES:
The biggest advantage of this procedure is that it is equally effective in all people , irrespective of their skin colour which is not the case with lasers and IPLs where their effectiveness may be compromised due to skin colours.
Another advantage of this procedure is that there is no downtime . immediately after treatment, one feels some force / energy pulling / tightening the skin. The final result may take 3 months to appear. It is usually a one time procedure.
There are no post-procedure down time and one can return to normal activities immediately. There may be just tingling ,numbness for a while. Otherwise, it is practically complication free.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) works on the principle of ultrasonic focusing on target tissue，the use of ultrasonic with tissue penetration and energy deposition.
Ultrasonic focusing will occur in organisms in vitriol to deepest adipose tissue thus covering the whole spectrum from skin dermal layer, through basal layer into the deepest SMAS layer of fascia.
It achieves the purpose of beauty by mechanical , thermal and cavitation effect of ultrasound energy.
THEORY：
The instrument generates electric exciting signals by the program control of high frequency oscillatory waves into focusing type ultrasonic, by positioning the operating head and mobile effect on target, to achieve the desired result .It delivers energy in the center and outwardly , to tighten the skin to achieve aesthetic effect.
APPLICATIONS:
Here HIFU penetrates upto 13 mm deep into fat layers and dissolving them.
PRECISION:
PROCEDURE:
The doctor decides the probe and depth to be used in a particular area. Lot of ultrasound jelly is applied over skin and probe to facilitate transmission of energy.He also sets distance and energy to be delivered.
Once HIFU shots are fired , there is minimal tingling sensation . immediately afterwards, patient feels skin contracting. there is no spot , only minimal redness. One can immediately go for party or dinner without anybody noticing anything.
Skin keeps contracting and final result comes after 3 months.
It is usually one time procedure.
The result may last for long time depending upon condition of the skin.
COMPLICATIONS:
As discussed earlier, practically there are no known complications of the procedure.

APPLICATIONS:
- Removes wrinkle arround forehead, eyes, and lips.
- Lifts and tightens the cheek.
- Improves skin elasticity and tightness .
- Improves the chin outline, reduces Marionette lines.
- Tightens the forehead skin.
- uplifts eyebrows.
- Improves skin, make it fine and smooth.
- Can be combined with aesthetic injections such as Hyaluronic acid to enhance results.
- Removes wrinkles around neck.
- HIFU over abdomen helps dissolve extra fat, hence is effective in body slimming.
Here HIFU penetrates upto 13 mm deep into fat layers and dissolving them.
PRECISION:
- Equipped with multiple heads(1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm.8 mm and 13mm),it precisely acts on different depths of the skin. The energy will skip the epidermis, leaving no damages, just like ordinary ultrasound which goes deeper to scan tissues.
- It is very easy to control and operate.
PROCEDURE:
The doctor decides the probe and depth to be used in a particular area. Lot of ultrasound jelly is applied over skin and probe to facilitate transmission of energy.He also sets distance and energy to be delivered.
