Revealed: The Many Reasons Why We Love Hifu Skin-firming Treatments! | Kosmoderma

HIFU Treatments Address Your Skin Sagging Issues Effectively!

Aging is inevitable and there’s no use whining about your sagging skin issues and superficial fine lines and wrinkles. However, you can reverse the aging process with non-surgical treatment options. Now, although you have a range of advanced skin treatments to address your various skin concerns, the skin-tightening High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) procedure stands out among them for its efficient features.

At Kosmoderma, we recommend HIFU, a non-surgical facelift option, for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. This skin rejuvenating treatment harnesses your body’s regenerative power to firm up your skin, imparting a younger-looking complexion.

HIFU: A Powerhouse Skin-Firming Treatment

HIFU taps the power of ultrasound energy for skin-firming effects. It deploys a heating device to warm up the skin’s underlying tissues. This heating process helps to generate thermal energy, whereby the body goes into repair mode. All this leads to collagen and elastin formation, making your skin soft and bouncy.

HIFU can reach the depths of your skin, from the uppermost layer to the SMAS layer, which covers your muscles, to work its magic.

At Kosmoderma, we apply HIFU technology mostly for the face, although it is also effective in tightening the skin around your neck, chin, and chest.

Also, the FDA approved HIFU treatment for brow lifting in the year 2009 and for reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the neckline and upper chest portion in the year 2014. Nowadays, HIFU is commonly used for collagen synthesis, skin tightening, and facelifts.

Explaining the HIFU Treatment Approach

  1) Before Treatment

Our expert cosmetologists/dermatologists will first hold long discussions to assess your treatment goals and understand your varied skin concerns. We will also conduct a comprehensive diagnosis to evaluate your skin condition to determine your suitability for the HIFU facial. If we find you to be a good candidate, we will discuss the risks and benefits of the treatment with you. After you give your consent for the treatment, we will schedule your appointment and guide you through the before and after treatment guidelines.

  2) Treatment Stage

In the initial step, your physician will cleanse the treatment site and apply a numbing cream topically.

An ultrasound gel is then applied, after which the HIFU device and ultrasound viewer are used to target the treatment areas. The treatment delivers ultrasound energy in short pulses to the skin’s deep layers to promote collagen production. This procedure lasts for 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

  3) After Treatment Care & Maintenance

After the HIFU procedure, you will be given the list of precautions to take to prolong the results.

All About HIFU Treatment Results

It takes 3 months for new collagen to start forming after HIFU treatment. However, during the ‘collagen contracture’ stage, which is a few days after treatment, patients notice subtle improvements.

Individual results could vary depending on each person’s skin-repairing mechanism and amount of collagen production, which can take a few months.

You will notice immediate initial improvements in your skin after HIFU sessions. Nonetheless, collagen synthesis and skin repair takes 3 to 4 months, during which time gradual improvements are seen. 

Post-treatment, the old collagen gets replaced by new collagen and the incremental results are seen up to 6 months post-treatment.

Because HIFU results are not immediate, it is advisable to undergo the treatment a few months in advance of an important upcoming event.

With Kosmoderma, you can be assured of the best results and global hygiene standards because we prioritize patient welfare.
