3D HIFU “NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT”
What is 3D HIFU?
3D HIFU (High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound) It was originally introduced for its use in treatment of cancer like in bladder , prostate ,kidney cancer, but since it did not prove to be as effective as surgical techniques, it lost its importance in treating cancer. 3D Hifu has created a benchmark in the field of non surgical face lift. It is an acoustic energy, known to propagate much deeper through tissue than laser or radio frequency (RF) energy, has been previously investigated for use in bulk heating for the treatments of solid organ tumors as mentioned above and is recently adapted for subcutaneous lipolysis.
3D HIFU (High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound) targets the entire face and neck, achieving brow lifting, jowl lifting, nasolabial fold (smile lines) reduction, periorbital wrinkle reduction and overall skin tightening and rejuvenation. The result is a naturally youthful appearance that retains full expression and movement.
The intense ultrasound energy causes actual skin rejuvenation so you look and feel younger, with none of the downsides of injectables or surgery! We treat the entire face so you won’t look youthful in one area and ten years older in another!
How 3D HIFU works
The highly focused acoustic energy creates thermal coagulation zones at 3 different selected depths, following which a wound healing response results in the formation of new collagen thus providing a longer term tightening of the skin. There is no down time associated with this non-invasive procedure, unlike harsh chemical peels you won’t have to hide your face while it recovers. You will walk out looking completely, naturally, younger.
What areas can be improved with 3D-HIFU?
This treatment is fantastic for overall skin tightening and rejuvenation with particularly good results in lifting the jowls, reducing “turkey neck”, and smoothing crows feet, smile lines and frown lines.
We also use the treatment to tighten skin on the belly post childbirth or after significant weight loss. Similarly crepey skin on the arms can be treated.
Does Hifu Face Lifting Hurt?
It does not cause major discomfort. You may feel some discomfort, warm or heat sensations or even a slight pain that lasts for a few seconds and only during the pulsation cycle when the ultrasound energy is being applied.
This discomfort or sometimes even pain is very brief and a good sign that collagen-building process has begun.The level of discomfort depends on the settings used, the area being treated, and the individual sensitivity. Around the eyes and over any bony prominence tend to be more intense. The neck region seems to be the area that tolerates the 3D HIFU treatment the best.
We can use a lower energy level and increased number of shots to achieve the desired results with much lower discomfort/pain level. The second factor related to pain/discomfort during 3D HIFU procedure is the type of skin being treated. People with thicker skin or more dense areas will tolerate 3D HIFU treatment very well.
As with any heat-based cosmetic procedure, there are variable degrees of discomfort associated with 3D HIFU skin tightening. In our practice, pain is usually tolerable and none of our clients needed and pain killers or anxiolytics.
How many treatments are recommended?
The number of sessions is decided by the bulk of adipose tissue, the extent of sagging skin and the desired result.
A single treatment gives a long lasting result that will leave your skin in better condition for having had the treatment than not. Results last 4 months to 1 years after which the ageing process will take over. Unlike with many other treatments you will not experience a sudden “droop”. The results fade naturally as you age.
3D HIFU has been able to deliver some very impressive results for our clients. Results can often be seen immediately after treatment but most results start approximately 2 to 3 weeks after treatment, with most clients seeing full results 16 weeks post treatment. Some results continue to improve over 4 months. If you have a good skin care routine, you will have more results.
Results as the process of wound healing and collagen remodeling takes 2-3 weeks, the patient will see only 10% result in 1st month, another 10% in 2nd month and 80% result in 3rd month.
Post Procedure
There may be post procedure redness which settles in about an hour. It’s Recommend to avoid laughing, chewing too much for that day.
