Hifu Technique - How Can It Enhance Your Skin?

It is a common wish of every individual to have flawless skin. Everyone wants skin sans spots, wrinkles or marks and this increasing demand has created a market for anti-aging, anti-wrinkle and other such creams that promise their customers flawless skin. But, these creams do not offer permanent solutions which is why people often opt for treatments such as chemical peels and radiofrequency. These treatments too are not the best.

HIFU or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a new technological method of noninvasive tissue heating and ablation that is being used to treat a wide range of disorders. This method of treatment is mostly used to treat wrinkles, for brow lifting, facial rejuvenation and body contouring.

Hifu is a trusted method for body contouring. Body HIFU is a MMFU, Micro & Macro Focused Ultrasound, technology used for body contouring. By this method, the fat cells of the body are targeted. High intensity and high-frequency energy is focused on the targeted area which causes the temperature to rise above to 56°C in the subcutaneous fat layer beneath the targeted skin area. The cells which get damaged are in a few weeks’ time rejected by the body's immune system.

The high-intensity ultrasound is focused at a depth of 1.3 centimeters on the adipose tissue of the body. Penetrating through the tissues and reaching the fat layer, the high heat destroys the fat cells rapidly. The other surrounding cells remain unaffected and only the targeted cells are treated. The body's natural healing system harmlessly rejects the destroyed fat cells this continues for up to three months. Common treatment areas for body contouring include the abdomen, chest, arms, flanks, hips, thighs, buttocks and lower legs.

Unlike other surgical procedures, this process does not involve any kind of surgical risk. Hifu is a completely non-surgical procedure which does not have any side effects. Even a single session begins to show positive results. A session can reduce on an average about one inch of the waistline or help to reduce one dress size or one pant size. The process of treatment is clinically proven and is FDA approved. This method is tested and has proven over the years to be safe. Moreover, being a non-invasive treatment, it saves one from the pain of undergoing any incisions or anesthesia. Being non-invasive, it reduces the risk of infections. The method is comfortable and painless and is also cost-effective. Over the years, the effect of the treatment has been proved to last for about two years.

However, before undergoing any kind of treatment, a doctor must be consulted to review the person's medical history before the surgery. A person's medical condition may hinder the procedure or limit the effects of it so it is best to have complete knowledge and information about the treatment that one is planning to undergo.
