Hifu is the newest type of non-surgical, non-invasive method that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tighten and tone wobbly skin on your face. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin.

 

The Non-invasive Lift

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that consider a non-invasive and painless replacement for facelift. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin.
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly. Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. While this may seem counterintuitive, the damage stimulates the cells to produce more collagen— a protein that provides structure to the skin. The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent issue.

HIFU may not be appropriate for everyone. In general, the procedure works best on people older than 30 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.

People with photodamaged skin or a high degree of loose skin may need several treatments before seeing results. Older people with more extensive photo-aging, severe skin laxity, or very saggy skin on the neck aren’t good candidates and may need surgery.

HIFU is the only non-invasive procedure to lift skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow and also to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage, HIFU can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to your chest! A 45 minutes in-office procedure at Beauty Grace. You may notice a short-term improvement but the natural course of generating new, more elastic collagen forms over time—much like the result that exercise has on building muscle (but minus the numerous workouts!). Results from HIFU are long lasting and will develop over the course of 2 to 3 months with continued improvement for up to 6 months, including lifting and tightening of the skin on your face. Using ultrasound technology, HIFU works from the inside-out to lift and tighten skin non-invasively. Your body’s reaction to Ultherapy is to repair tired skin by stimulating the growth of additional, new collagen. The result is a tightening and steady lifting, or shifting of your skin back into a more youthful condition and form-appropriate shape.

HIFU uses safe, time-tested ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally—without surgery or downtime. During HIFU small waves of focused ultrasound energy penetrate the same skin layer usually addressed in a surgical facelift. HIFU can help switch back the marks of aging by non-invasively lifting and tightening skin.

  • HIFU is a newest type of non-surgical, non-invasive method that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tighten and tone wobbly skin on your face.
  • HIFU uses the harmless, familiar energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep essential support layers of the skin—including those usually addressed in a surgical facelift—without distressing the surface of the skin.

Safe Ultrasound. No Surgery.

HIFU harnesses the power of ultrasound to transform the brow, chin, neck and chest. Ultrasound, of course, has been used safely throughout the medical field for more than 50 years—and HIFU has been established as safe and effective in clinical studies and in over half a million treatments worldwide. HIFU relies on ultrasound therapy to deliver its collagen-boosting treatment. It also incorporates traditional ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to see the layers of tissue they are treating, ensuring the treatment energy is delivered to where it will be most beneficial.

What is HIFU?

HIFU Non-surgical Facelift Treatment – Time inevitably takes its toll on your skin—not only in the form of wrinkles and uneven colour, but in overall laxity on the face and neck. HIFU treatment in Sydney can help turn back the signs of aging by non-invasively lifting, tightening and smoothing skin on the face, neck and chest over time.

HIFU, is a breakthrough, non-invasive, non surgical facelift procedure that uses medical ultrasound to assist in counteracting the effects of time and gravity on your skin. HIFUy works deep below the surface to stimulate the growth of collagen “without harming the outer layer of skin”. This results in long-lasting firming, tightening and lifting of the skin, giving you a more youthful appearance after just one treatment. HIFU costs significantly less than other surgical facelift procedures and at the Cosmetic Medical Clinic, we offer some of the most competitive non-surgical facelift prices Sydney wide. Benefits of getting the HIFU procedure include:

  • Reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles
  • Lifting of the brow line to reduce droopiness around the eyes
  • Smoothing of crow’s feet and a more open look in the eye region
  • Lifting of sagging skin on the cheeks
  • Improvement in the folds of the nose-to-mouth and mouth-to-jaw regions
  • More defined jawline and neck lift
  • General improvement in skin texture and tone
  • Usually, only one treatment is required
  • No downtime

How does the procedure work and how long does an Ultherapy treatment take?

As with other ultrasound procedures, a smooth handpiece is placed on your skin and an image of the tissue beneath is projected on a screen. This allows your practitioner to “see” where they will treat your skin. The same handpiece is then used to deliver tiny deposits of focused ultrasound energy at just the right depth below the skin. For facial procedures, this is the same foundational layer typically addressed in a surgical facelift. Your skin’s response to this energy is to recondition tired skin by stimulating the growth of fresh, new collagen. The result is a tightening and gradual lifting—or shifting—of the skin back into a more youthful position and form-fitting shape. The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure typically takes 45 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.

What does the procedure feel like and will I need to take time off?

Comfort levels vary from person to person, but it is unlikely you will need pain medication during your HIFU treatment. Many patients describe the sensation as a momentary pricking of heat beneath the skin. This is the ultrasound energy being delivered into the tissue, which is how the procedure lifts and tightens the skin. With HIFU, there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately without having to follow any special post-treatment measures.

Are there any measures I can take to prepare my skin prior to treatment?

No significant preparations are required prior to the treatment.  Some medications may make you more likely to bruise.  During your consultation, talk to your practitioner about your current medications and supplements. Your practitioner may recommend that you temporarily discontinue use of some medications or supplements prior to the treatment.

What can I expect after the treatment and are there any side effects?

After your procedure, you are able to return to your normal activities right away. Although your skin may appear a bit flushed or puffy immediately after treatment, any redness should disappear in a matter of hours. Safety of Ultrasound technology, Ultrasound technology has been used in the field of medicine for over 50 years and is a widely used diagnostic tool. Ultrasound uses sound waves and does not produce ionising radiation. The skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are temporary in nature. Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any medical procedure, there is the possibility for other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you.

How many HIFU treatments will I need and when will I see results??

Most patients need one or two treatment. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual’s collagen-building process, some patients benefit from additional treatments. Because skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help patients keep pace with the body’s natural aging process. How long do they last? The neocollagenesis process takes place over 2-3 months, so your results will develop over that time. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside.

How does HIFU differ from laser treatments?

HIFU uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over 2-3 months. Lasers rely on light energy, which typically only treat superficial skin and are not to lift skin.  Lasers also work through the surface of the skin, often resulting in downtime after a procedure. HIFU’s ultrasound energy bypasses the surface of the skin, which means no downtime is required after the treatment.  Since the two technologies often treat different types of skin issues, they can be compatible.

Sagging Skin

When you consider that Sagging Skin is one of the main contributors to looking older as we age, it come as no surprise to know that the phrase Skin Tightening is the most searched cosmetic topic on the internet. Unfortunately, every single person will experience some degree of sagging skin as they age. The reason for this is that the collagen structures and elastin in the dermis (Inner) layer of the skin begin to shrink and break down, therefore providing less support for the epidermis (outer) layer of skin to hold onto. The epidermis layer of skin also begins to thin, and your skins fat stores and underlying muscle begin to deplete. This combination causes the epidermis to dry out, succumb to the effects of gravity and begin to sag and form lines and wrinkles. The rate at which this happens is affected by many things such as genetics, health and age. Below are a few factors that cause sagging skin:

Weight Loss: Obese individuals who have lost a massive amount of weight often have problems with excess skin. Typically this occurs as a result of extreme dieting. In the instance of weight loss, the best way to prevent sagging skin is to monitor your weight reduction-making sure to pace yourself. The excess fat in the body stretches the skin. Depending upon your age, you may find that the flesh does not “snap back” with the same elasticity, as it would have when you were younger. Thus, a gradual approach is the best way to get your skin to adjust to your weight changes.

The Sun: You may think that only women of a certain age have to fight gravity’s effect on the skin. But many women who enjoy soaking up the sun’s rays often discover one problem or another later in life. Putting aside all the risks of skin cancer, the sun has other ways of damaging the skin. Though you may emerge from beach sands with a chic, toasty complexion-the sun’s drying effects eventually wreak havoc on skin’s natural elasticity. So, if you’re going to play outside during the spring and summer months, sunscreen and extra moisturising are imperative for fighting the effects of gravity

Smoking: Smoking curbs your skin’s production of collagen and elastin, these proteins are a key part of the skin’s structure. The downturn in these proteins paves the way for sagging skin and the formation of lines and wrinkles. Even second-hand smoke can affect you greatly.

Prevention, the best way to prevent the premature sagging of your skin is to look at habitual factors such as diet, sun protection, and whether or not you smoke. These simple things in your day-to-day life can exacerbate your ageing and saggy skin. Most of the effects of skin damage only show years after it has occurred, though it is never too late to start specifically taking care of your skin properly.

The treatment for Sagging Skin will depend on many factors such as medical history, age, lifestyle factors, and many more. The best way to find out what would be the best treatment for you is to organise a free consultation where we can explain to you what is the main cause of your concern and how best to address it.

HIFU vs. facelift

While HIFU carries far fewer risks and costs than a surgical facelift, results may not last as long and repeated procedures may be needed. Here’s a summary of the major differences between each procedure:

Invasive? Cost Recovery Time Risks Efficacy Long-term effects
HIFU Non-invasive; no incisions $1599 on average None Mild redness and swelling In one study trusted Source, 94% of people described improvement in skin lifting at a 3-month follow-up visit. The same study trusted Source found that improvement in appearance persisted for at least 6 months. You will likely need to have additional HIFU treatments once the natural aging process takes over.
Surgical facelift An invasive procedure that requires incisions and sutures $7,562 on average 2–4 weeks •Anesthesia risks
•Bleeding
•Infection
•Blood clots
•Pain or scarring
•Hair loss at the incision site
In one study trusted Source, 97.8% of people described the improvement as very good or beyond expectations after one year. Results are long-lasting. In one studyTrusted Source, 68.5% percent of people rated improvement as very good or beyond expectations after an average of 12.6 years following the procedure.
