HIFU – non-surgical skin ultrasound

PHIFU emits focused ultrasonic energy and causes molecular vibration and thermal effect. These processes promote protein coagulation both in the dermis and in the layer of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), the superficial muscular aponeurotic system. This increases the amount of collagen, which tightens and lifts the skin. The energy emitted by HIFU does not damage the surrounding tissues, despite the fact that ultrasound penetrates deeper than the laser or other devices and reaches the already mentioned SMAS layer (4.5 mm from the skin surface) – this is the layer that plastic surgeons lift during surgery and HIFU reaches it without no surgical method. During body contouring, ultrasound can penetrate up to 13 mm and lead to fat destruction. This ability to reach deeper layers is exactly what makes the HIFU procedure particularly effective. Another uniqueness of the HIFU procedure is that regenerative skin processes take place after the procedure for up to 6 months. Thus, the skin gradually tightens, is becoming more and more tight, wrinkles disappear, and the brightness of wrinkles decreases.
