HIFU – high-intensity focused ultrasound. That’s right it is the same ultrasound that is used everywhere, even in medicine for the scans during the pregnancy.
But this time technology is a bit different, as this ultrasound wave is focused, meaning that it does not spread.
So, when a focused ultrasound wave reaches the desired deepness in the skin, it causes tissue damage. Damaged tissue has to be repaired, and that’s where our body starts its work. That’s why this procedure’s success depends not just on the professional who performs the procedure, not the actual device as in the market there are many speculations, but also great part plays clients’ metabolism and body’s ability to repair itself. To get the best results you must prepare yourself – collagen supplements are very good to help with this. Also, it is a good idea to have a skin rejuvenation procedure such as mesotherapy, before the treatment. That way skin will be prepared and will have a higher ability to repair better.
I love this procedure. I have not just seen many great outcomes on my clients but also had it done myself. I like to try everything on myself, before offering anything to my clients. I like to know the feeling, I need to believe in what I do, by quoting personal results.
If you are unhappy with your jawline or start seeing some gravity work on your face already – this procedure might be the one you are looking for. But you have to understand – it hurts. If it doesn’t hurt, it means that the device is not strong enough or settings are too low, unless you have no pain sensors. To cause damage under the surface of the skin, you must feel something, and that feeling is very uncomfortable.
HIFU also can be done on the body – concentrating on the fat pockets, or sagging skin.
The “No pain – no gain” statement works for this procedure real well.
