With aging, the skin loses its tone and elasticity .
What is the cause ?
A decrease in collagen (protein allowing cohesion and regeneration of tissues and organs) present in tissues which increases with age.
We tell you everything about HIFU , a technology created more than 9 years ago in the USA which consists of delivering energy in the form of heat to the skin of the face and subcutaneous tissue.
But why this name, HIFU?
This is the acronym for Hign Intensity Focused Ultrasound which means high intensity focused ultrasound in French, which is also called Ultherapy.
What is this HIFU aesthetic medicine technique used for? It helps to reshape the oval of the face to improve the firmness of the skin tissue by focusing on firming the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. This treatment without surgery uses ultrasound in a concentrated manner, thus inducing the concentration of tissues and the synthesis of collagen.
What does this non-surgical face lift consist of?
Thanks to the highly focused ultrasound system, the skin tissue will be heated in depth to release energy on its surface. From then on, a natural healing process begins to then create a certain quantity of collagen. This production will gradually lift the skin without damaging it.The ultrasounds of the HIFU method are waves that are safe for the skin, they are even used in therapeutic medicine. They create coagulation impacts on the skin, causing tissue retraction .
The course of treatment
Before proceeding to the ultrasound session, a therapeutic interview is set up to check with the client whether the treatment meets their expectations. Next, the doctor defines the depth of pulses needed depending on the area being treated.
To begin, a gel is applied to the area to be treated, then, without touching the skin, the device will gradually increase the temperature to reach between 70 and 75° and therefore increase the power of the ultrasound.
This technology makes it possible to reach the skin in depth (at 1.5 mm, 3 mm or 4 mm depending on the expected result) without even being in contact with it. The treatment does not involve any injections or chemicals! Finally, the skin stimulates the production of collagen, to bring about progressive toning and firming of the skin.
