How does Non-Surgical Facelift work?

HIFU uses ultrasound energy to target deep layers of the skin to boost collagen production by heating the tissue rapidly.

The increase in collagen production results in firmer skin with fewer wrinkles.

Because high-frequency ultrasound rays are focused on a particular tissue layer under the skin’s surface, there’s no harm to the skin’s upper layers and adjacent tissue.

What are the Non-Surgical Facelift pros and cons?

High-intensity focused facial ultrasound treatment is ideal for those who want to lift and tighten their skin without surgery.

The advantages of a Non-Surgical Facelift are:

• It is an entirely safe and non-invasive procedure instead of surgery or injectables.
• It works by stimulating natural actions in your skin so that the results will be very natural.
• It is a quick procedure; it takes about an hour.
• Zero downtime.
• It is an appropriate procedure for many people.

However, there are some disadvantages to Non-Surgical Facelifts,

include:

• Patients must wait a few weeks to start seeing the results because the body needs time to make new collagen. So, the final result might not be visible for two to three months.

• Patients may need to repeat the treatment to achieve and maintain the results.

What are the side effects of HIFU?

A non-surgical Facelift with High-intensity focused ultrasound is considered a safe treatment if performed by a qualified and trained professional.

In most cases, the side effects associated with this procedure are infrequent. You may experience swelling or slight redness, but it should calm down quickly.

A light tingling feeling in the treated area may continue for a few days. Furthermore, you may experience temporary numbness and bruising, but these side effects usually disappear a few days after the procedure.
