How does it work for skin tightening and rejuvenation?

HIFU treatment utilises the HIFU device that emits high-energy ultrasound waves. These waves can penetrate to varying depths of the skin dermis and selectively and safely heat the skin cells to up to 75℃. The short bursts of thermal energy trigger controlled injury of the targeted tissues. This further encourages the body’s natural wound-healing response. With optimal heat energy delivered into the targeted tissues underlying the skin surface, collagen remodelling takes place.

The skin’s fibroblasts get stimulated to produce fresh skin structural proteins- collagen and elastin fibres. Simultaneously, tissue regeneration occurs. All this leads to the natural restructuring of the tissue and tissue structures. At last, the skin gradually turns firmer, plumper, and tighter. A subtle, natural lifting effect of the skin is achieved.

How to prepare for HIFU treatment?

Some preparation is needed for HIFU treatment to go smoothly and avoid delay or hampering of the results. The preparation involves following some pre-treatment instructions given by the doctor. These are:

Refrain from sun tanning or frequent sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before the treatment.

Do not apply any chemical-based products that can irritate the skin for at least a week beforehand.
If taking antibiotics, complete its course and wait for 2 weeks before scheduling a HIFU session.
On the day of the procedure, arrive at the clinic without make-up or moisturisers on the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

It helps counteract the effects of gravity and time on the skin

Where are the HIFU treatments applied?

High-Intensity Focussed Ultrasound treatments are chosen to rejuvenate the skin of the face, neck, and décolletage, as well as other body parts. Most targeted sites include the jawline, cheeks, forehead, eyelids, neck, chin, chest, abdomen, legs, and buttocks.

What are the risks or complications of undergoing HIFU treatment?

As compared to other skin lifting and deep skin tightening procedures, HIFU therapy is relatively a safer procedure. Ultrasound energy has been used in the medical field for more than 5 decades, which ensures its safety. A few hours after the treatment, the patient can normally expect to experience mild swelling and redness. Rarely, the treated skin may bruise or get numb. But, these side effects resolve in a few days. Risks are possible only if non-suitable patients go ahead with the treatment or an inexperienced provider is performing the technique.

What is the recovery time for HIFU?

The procedure does not involve any downtime. This means, after the treatment, the patients can immediately resume their usual daily activities. There is no special post-treatment care required. The patients can continue to apply makeup and follow their skincare regime as they did normally.

How long will a HIFU treatment take?

The length of the treatment depends upon the area being treated, the skin concern, the severity of the condition being treated, and the patient’s customised treatment plan. Typically, a full face and neck treatment lasts for 60-90 minutes. To know more about HIFU Treatment in Hyderabad in detail do schedule a visit at Neya Dermatology & Aesthetics Clinic.

What does the treatment feel like?

As the ultrasound energy is delivered to the target area, you will feel short heat bursts being deposited into precise skin depths. A warm tingling sensation may cause slight discomfort, depending upon the comfort level of the patient. This lasts only while the ultrasound energy is delivered.

How many HIFU treatments will I need?

Most patients require only a single treatment. However, some patients may need more than one session to see desired effects. The number of sittings depends upon the extent of the skin’s laxity, the current skin condition, the collagen-building process of the individual, and the biological response to ultrasound energy. As the skin ageing process cannot be stopped, the patients may need multiple touch-up treatments to help themselves pace with the natural healing response of their body. The patients must schedule maintenance treatments in the gap of 6-12 months.

Who qualifies for HIFU treatment?

HIFU treatment for skin lifting and tightening is ideal for:

Anyone experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, where the skin starts to appear and feel less firm or elastic
Healthy adults who are not ready for surgeries or clients seeking improvements in the results of their aesthetic surgeries
People have reasonable expectations from the results of the treatment
People aged above 30 years who have started experiencing early signs of aging skin
HIFU is not recommended for people having active acne, scars, or infections in the target area. It is also not suitable for people having metallic implants in the treatment area. However, the best way to confirm candidacy for HIFU treatment is to consult about it with the practitioner.

How long does it take to visualise the results of HIFU treatment and how long do they last?

Natural, noticeable initial effects of HIFU are achieved immediately after the treatment. Normally, the skin gets a healthy glow. However, the skin continues to present improvements for up to a year after the treatment. The ultimate desired results appear in about 2-3 months of the treatment.

The procedure stimulates neocollagenesis within the skin and slows down the natural ageing process. The amount of collagen produced and the extent of skin ageing dictates how long the effects of the treatment are seen. Typically, results can last for a year or more.

What is the cost of HIFU treatment?

The price of the treatment can range widely depending on the areas of concern and the size of the treatment area.
