HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a revolutionary non-invasive cosmetic treatment. It is used for skin tightening and brings several other benefits, such as zero downtime and no pain, to the table. Recently, HIFU was compared with facelifts. HIFU skin tightening has very similar effects to that of facelifts, but can this new cosmetic treatment beat the decade-old facelifts is still a burning question. Before we move to fetch the answer, there are a few other things that you must know. 

HIFU is not only limited to face or skin tightening but can also be used for brow lifts, as per the 2009 reports of the FDA. Apart from brow lifts, HIFU skin tightening is a skin aesthetic treatment to eliminate the wrinkles on the neck and upper chest, according to the  FDA report of 2014.  Now, before concluding a winner, let’s first take a look at what exactly HIFU skin tightening treatment is and what benefits it has. 

What is HIFU Skin Tightening Treatment 

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a  skin tightening non-surgical cosmetic treatment. This procedure is used to treat facial ageing, neck and upper chest wrinkles, and brow lifts. HIFU skin tightening has recently risen as a new trend. One of the main reasons for its growing popularity is that the outcome of this treatment is pretty similar to that of facelifts, which is a surgical treatment. It is efficient and long-lasting for up to a year.

HIFU is a facial treatment that uses ultrasound waves to generate in the deep layers of the skin without causing any harm to the top layer. The heat generated through the HIFU device destroys the targeted cells, which are then repaired naturally by the body. While the body repairs the cells, collagen is produced, which further aids in the regrowth of the cells.   

At Unique Aesthetic, we have on-boarded industry stewards; therefore, our HIFU skin tightening treatment is performed in a structured procedure: – 

• First, our cosmetic treatment specialists will clean the treatment area (face, neck, upper, or chest). Thereafter they apply a gel to the area. 
• After that, our specialists will hold the HIFU device over the target area. This device emits ultrasound waves in short bursts. 

Depending on the target area, the HIFU skin tightening session can last up to 30 to 90 minutes. This treatment stimulates the growth of collagen (it is responsible for skin elasticity). The procedure is otherwise painless, yet there are times when a client might feel mild discomfort. If you want, you can ask the specialists to first apply anaesthesia prior to treatment. HIFU is quite different from other cosmetic treatments and surgeries because, usually, it does not require any preparation time.

HIFU Skin Tightening Treatment – Benefits 

As aforementioned, HIFU skin tightening treatment is a non-surgical treatment and therefore requires no needles. There are many benefits of HIFU skin tightening treatment, such as mild to no pain and no preparation time. Apart from these, there are a few more benefits of HIFU treatment: – 

• HIFU is known for its accurate results because it is focused and targeted on a specific area and does not affect the topmost layer of the skin.

• Skin tightening through focused ultrasound waves is much less intrusive than other cosmetic surgeries and treatments. 
• There are no side effects of this treatment, and is usually wrapped up in less than an hour.
