HIFU which stands for High Intensity Frequency Ultrasound uses ultrasound waves in multiple wavelengths that penetrate the skin to specific depths which cause the body to produce more collagen, which can help improve the overall structure and elasticity of the treated areas.
Here’s what happens at the appointment (following a consultation to see if you are suitable):
Step 1. Linda our Registered Nurse cleans the target area removing makeup.
Step 2. They map out the parts of the face that are going to be treated.
Step 3. The technician then applies an ultrasound gel before placing the head of the device against the skin and adjusting the device to the correct setting.
Step 4. Ultrasound energy is then delivered in wavelengths of between 1.5mm and 4.5mm to the target area (dermis layers under the skin) in short pulses for roughly 30 to 90 minutes until the session is completed.
