The mechanism of skin tightening by HIFU, and when do the results appear?
HIFU is a non-surgical face and neck lift procedure that is characterized as a quick procedure that gives an immediate and noticeable impression and does not require a downtime.
It is suitable for those who suffer from saggy skin around the mouth, eyes, folds in the skin of the neck, or those who suffer from fine lines and wrinkles.
HIFU is a high-precision medical procedure in which ultrasound waves are sent through three forms of probes, reaching three different depths of layers below the surface of the skin.
This is to heat those deep layers at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius in a period of 1/2 second to XNUMX second, resulting in this:
Muscle tension (by affecting the outer membrane of tendons and ligaments).
The beginning of a natural process called “Neocollagenesis” through which the existing collagen is strengthened, and the body is stimulated to produce modern collagen.
So that the skin begins to regain its freshness (collagen is a protein that remains in the deep layers of the skin and gives it elasticity and freshness.
With age, collagen loses its elasticity and ability to resist the effect of aging on the skin, which is the reason for the relaxation of the skin and the appearance of wrinkles.
When do results appear?
Final results are visible 3 to XNUMX months after the procedure, and the effect of HIFU remains for a minimum of one year (usually the effect lasts for two to three years).
Most people require only one session, but a few may require one or two additional sessions (depending on the elasticity of the skin, the biological response to ultrasound, and the collagen generation process from one individual to another).
