What is HIFU and how does it work?

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is the latest and most advanced technology of aesthetic medicine that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy for the purpose of treating sagging skin of the face, neck and décolleté, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed by numerous clinical studies.

HIFU acts on the middle layer of the skin, which gives the skin firmness (dermis) and SMAS, i.e. the muscle sheath, by directing highly focused ultrasound into the tissue, causing targeted, precise and partial heating of the tissue to a temperature of around 60-70°C, at a precisely determined depth ( 1.5, 3 and 4.5 mm) which stimulates cells and remodeling (production of completely new) collagen and tissue rejuvenation.

HIFU treatment is a completely natural skin rejuvenation and tightening treatment that uses its own power to regenerate and produce collagen after causing controlled damage in the deeper layers of the skin. It is one of the few methods that effectively removes the fatty tissue of the underarms and tightens the skin of the neck and décolleté without going under the knife.

Safety of HIFU treatment

After the HIFU treatment there is no recovery, very rarely the presence of slight redness and edema is possible, and after the treatment you can return to your daily activities. HIFU treatment can also be done in the summer, and there is no fear of the appearance of pigmentation or scars as with laser treatments.

Given that it is a treatment that acts targeted at one focal point, the surrounding tissue is not heated, there is no possibility of uncontrolled heating and damage, and it is completely safe for all skin types, including the neck and décolleté.

Indications and results of HIFU treatment:

• Removal and smoothing of wrinkles on the face, neck and décolletage,
• intensive lifting and firming of the skin of the face, neck and décolletage, as well as the skin on all parts of the body;
• lifting the upper eyelids;
• straightening wrinkles on the forehead;
• firming and lifting the cheeks;
• defining the line of the lower jaw;
• reduction to complete removal of dark circles;
• alleviation to complete removal of wrinkles in the eye area;
• alleviation to complete removal of nasolabial wrinkles and wrinkles between the nose and lips;
• neck tightening;
• mitigation to complete removal of the so-called turkey neck;
• mitigation to complete removal of the so-called double cousin;
• tightening of the neckline;
• pore reduction;
• regulation of sebum secretion.

The first results are visible immediately after the treatment due to the contraction of the collagen fibers, and the final result is visible after 3 months when the maturation process of new collagen ends, and the appearance of the skin continues to improve even a year after the treatment when it needs to be repeated to start again skin rejuvenation process and maintained the achieved results.

In case of more pronounced skin laxity, the treatment can be repeated after 1 or 3 months, which will achieve even better results.

LipoSonix HIFU

What is HIFU Liposonix and how does it work?

HIFU Liposonix is the latest and most advanced technology of aesthetic medicine that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy for the permanent removal of fat cells in a localized area, without damaging the surrounding tissue, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed by numerous clinical studies (over 7 so far).

Each of us stores fat in places that are genetically predetermined, it is not possible to change them, and this is also the reason why our body structure resembles that of our mother or grandmother. Fat cannot be selectively removed, through diet and exercise we lose fat from the part of the body that is determined by genetics, and not from the part we want. The only way to remove fat from the desired area is to remove or destroy the fat cells that give us the unwanted shape.

Until now, the most effective way of targeted removal of fat cells was liposuction, but now we can destroy fat cells naturally and safely, without using a knife, with the Liposonix device. Most devices, such as cold laser radiofrequency, only work in a way to empty fat from fat cells, without destroying them and after for some time, these cells are replenished, without changing the structure and appearance of your body.

HIFU Liposonix treatment works on subcutaneous fatty tissue by directing highly focused ultrasound into the tissue, causing targeted, precise and partial heating of the tissue to a temperature of around 60-70°C, at a precisely determined depth (8 mm and 13 mm), which is completely safe and permanently eliminates fat cells from the desired area, permanently reducing the ability of your body to store fat in that area, changing its structure and appearance. With one treatment, we can remove up to 5 cm, and full results are usually seen after 8 to 12 weeks. The treatment can be repeated every three weeks on six occasions. After the treatment, it is advisable to perform a lymphatic drainage treatment.

Liposonix is one of the three most popular non-surgical methods of fat cell removal in America, and it is advertised under the slogan: "One treatment, one hour, one garment less!", which has been proven and confirmed by numerous scientific studies.

Safety of HIFU Liposonix treatment

After the HIFU treatment there is no recovery, very rarely the presence of light redness and edema, or short-term bruising is possible, and after the treatment you can return to your daily activities. HIFU treatment can also be done in the summer, and there is no fear of pigmentation, burns or scars as with many other methods. It has been used in medicine for more than a decade, among other things, in cardiology and oncology without any recorded side effects.

Given that it is a treatment that acts targeted at one focal point, and the surrounding tissue is not heated, there is no possibility of uncontrolled heating and damage, and it is completely safe even for a very small amount of fatty tissue in the treated area.
