Patients can expect noticeable, significant lifting of the brow line. They can also experience opening up of the eyes, more youthful appearance, get firmer, tighter and better fitting skin.
The doctor consult is required to assess the patient and individualise the number of procedures needed.
There is no downtime with this procedure. A feeling of warmth and mild facial redness may be present.
The whole procedure is likely to take between 45- 60 minutes. It involves first cleansing of the face, application of numbing cream after which a smooth flat top headpiece would be pressed onto the skin. Some warmth and pressure may be felt. Ice packs may be applied to the skin after.
HIFU works to stimulate collagen in the skin tissue as well as the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS). The SMAS is a fibromuscular layer that surgeons manipulate during surgical facelift procedures. With different headpieces that target different depths, HIFU is able to tighten not just the skin, but the SMAS layer for better and longer lasting results.
Additional benefits include a more defined jawline and overall enhancement of skin texture.
