HIFU: body elevator or facelift without surgery
Treatment with high intensity focused ultrasound is also sometimes considered a non-invasive form of the widely known surgical facelift or body elevator. During the treatment, the deep dermal layer is targeted to stimulate collagen production.
That collagen is responsible for the skin's firmness and elasticity. As you age, collagen production in the skin decreases, leaving you with sagging skin. If you want to re-tighten your skin, then a HIFU treatment is is the way to go.
Of course, you should not expect exactly the same results from the HIFU treatment as from a real surgical facelift or body elevator. Especially if you have severely sagging skin, you better be realistic in your expectations.

How does a HIFU treatment proceed?
How is the HIFU treatment performed? Why is it that the treatment stimulates collagen production? We'll explain that to you here.
HIFU stands for high intensity focused ultrasound. From that you can deduce that it uses ultrasonic waves. These waves penetrate deep into the skin, where they treat the subcutaneous tissue very safely. So no worries, during the HIFU treatment the skin, nerves, blood vessels and muscles are not damaged.

The following prescriptions apply after treatment with HIFU:

Possible side effects of treatment with HIFU:
- The skin may turn a little red and there may be slight swelling. However, such side effects are completely normal and disappear within one to two days of HIFU treatment.
