With age our facial features are not so sharp and defined, mostly around the eyes, chin, neck, and cheeks. Technology has given us a lot of wonders and if you are wondering anything could place your skin back in place so you can slow down ageing, then we might have an answer for that.  

High Intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, is a state-of-the-art non-invasive technology for a facelift neck lift that brings a natural appearance. It is a revolutionary treatment in countering the signs of ageing, such as removing wrinkles, reducing double chin, reducing dark circles and eye bags, etc., without any surgical requirement.  

HIFU uses high intensity ultrasound energy to create heat into the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin surface, HIFU delivers targeted energy to the deeper structural tissues and muscles where collagen thrives. Ultra-sounding energy stimulates collagen production in the deep dermal and subdermal layers, fascia and SMAS layer, which causes micro injury to the tissues. It creates a selective thermal coagulative zone on the subcutaneous and SMAS layers, which helps slow down the ageing process. As a result, collagen production increases as the tissue heal, and as the collagen fibres organise and shorten, the skin tightens. 

The HIFU utilised for skin rejuvenation has a relatively short exposure time (millisecond). As a result, the amount of energy supplied to the target is modest (below 15J per pulse). Furthermore, because ultrasonic waves are brief, they do not harm the epidermis or upper dermis but target the SMAS layer and deep dermis.
