HIFU, a non-surgical face lift method, means high intensity focused ultrasound. (Ultherapy is the name of this application mostly used in the USA). Focused ultrasound waves are concentrated at the desired depth under the skin and those points are heated to 65-70 degrees. With this stimulation, first contraction and then tightening and stretching occur under the skin with the activation of collagen tissue. During an application, thousands of point areas are created under the skin by heating and shrinking, which means extensive collagen formation and stretching of the skin.
Non-Surgical Face Lift Application
Unlike Laser and Radiofrequency applications, Hifu-Ultherapy applications do not cause damage to the skin surface, sound waves bypass the skin surface and focus at the desired depth under the skin. This depth setting allows only subcutaneous procedures to be performed on skin areas of different thickness such as the cheeks, around the eyes, forehead and neck. The aim is to stretch the fascia (membrane) and muscle layers, which are carriers under the skin, in the cheek and neck areas. It reduces wrinkles and provides rejuvenation by causing skin tightening and partial skin thickening.
This method, called Hifu or ultherapy (non-surgical face lift), is applied only once and has a duration of 2-3 years. It is more painless than laser and radiofrequency applications as it does not affect the skin surface. In people who are sensitive and have a low pain threshold, a painkiller is applied to the face before the application. Sensitivity can be significantly reduced with creams. This procedure can be applied in all seasons as it does not cause any injury to the skin and is not affected by skin color or tanning.
Results of Non-Surgical Face Lift Application
The maximum result of non-surgical face lift application occurs after an average of 2-3 months, and an estimated 10-15% change is expected immediately after the procedure, which, according to my impressions, makes people instantly happy.
Hifu application gives effective results not only on the face but also on areas where skin is thought to be loose, such as the neck, décolleté, back of the hands, abdomen and inner legs.
Although face lift surgeries are recommended to get effective results in cases of advanced age and excessive skin laxity, many people who avoid general anesthesia and hospital conditions prefer Hifu applications due to the practicality of the application, the short time it takes, the fact that it does not cause loss of labor, that is, there is no change such as redness or swelling on the face. prefers.
