HIFU
What is HIFU?
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an abbreviation for high intensity focused ultrasound. It focuses ultrasound at one point and produces a lifting effect without the use of a scalpel.
At our clinic, we use an irradiation method that takes advantage of anatomical characteristics, which makes it easier to achieve a greater lifting effect.
Characteristics of HIFU
It is possible to irradiate deep layers from the dermis to the SMAS fascia layer.
By targeting the subcutaneous tissue and the SMAS fascia layer, which causes sagging, the treatment induces collagen production and proliferation in the process of repairing tissue that has shrunk due to heat damage, tightening the inside of the skin, improving sagging and leading to lifted, firmer skin.
