Focus Ultrasound (hifu)

HIFU is a non-invasive (non-surgical) aesthetic technology. This innovative method uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves to deliver energy to specific areas of the skin. This energy focuses on the lower layers of the skin, aiming to achieve aesthetic results such as tightening, wrinkle reduction and improving overall skin tone. HIFU does not require surgical intervention and the procedure can usually be completed in a single session. This usually allows patients to get results in a shorter time than other methods.

How to Apply Focused Ultrasound (Hifu)?

During focused ultrasound application, high-intensity ultrasound waves focused on specific areas on the skin are used. These waves aim to penetrate the lower layers of the skin and cause thermal damage, thus helping to restructure the skin. HIFU application usually includes these steps:

Before the procedure, a special contact gel is applied to the skin surface. This gel allows ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin better and also cools the skin, providing a greater feeling of comfort during the procedure. The doctor then examines the skin to determine the areas to be treated and map the points to focus on.

A special device passed through the skin surface sends high-intensity ultrasound waves to designated focal points. These waves create controlled heat in the lower layers of the skin, triggering collagen production.

After the application is completed, the doctor evaluates the condition of the skin and gives additional information if necessary. The effects of HIFU usually appear over time. For this reason, experts usually state that the results will become apparent within a few weeks.

Because HIFU is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure, it generally offers a shorter recovery period than surgical procedures. Although people can immediately return to their daily activities after treatment, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and follow special skin care instructions.

Suitable Candidates for Focused Ultrasound

HIFU treatment is generally a preferred method for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. However, this treatment may not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates generally have the following characteristics:

HIFU is effective for individuals who want to alleviate the symptoms of sagging skin. The treatment can be used to increase skin elasticity in areas such as the face, neck and décolleté.

The best results are achieved in a moderately saggy state, where the skin still has a certain elasticity. HIFU focuses on improving skin firmness by increasing collagen production.

HIFU can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is generally preferred among those who want to alleviate the signs of aging.

To get the most benefit from HIFU treatment, candidates’ skin type, general health status and expectations should be taken into consideration. In this way, it is possible to achieve optimal results by creating a personalized treatment plan.
