The Technology of Tighter Skin

HIFU Treatment at Luminescence Medical

Wish you could tighten up your jawline or improve the quality of lax skin on your face or body? High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) targets the deeper layers of skin to promote regeneration, delivering impressive results. Wrinkles and fine lines are smoothed, and skin elasticity is improved for a more taut, sculpted jawline, smoother decolletage, or improved skin tone anywhere in the body. Even better, HIFU Treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime.

Ultrasound. Ultra Sculpted.

What is High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?

HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound to heat tissue in the lower layers of the skin. The ultrasound waves penetrate deep into the skin, causing a thermal effect that stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration. At our practice in Latham HIFU Treatment is primarily used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck, as well as to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Treatments with the HIFU device involve minimal discomfort and do not require any downtime.

What are the benefits of HIFU Treatment?

HIFU Treatment precisely heats the lower layers of the skin without causing damage to the surface layer. It stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, elasticity, and firmness. People with mild to moderate skin laxity can achieve tighter skin as well as a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. If you want to tighten up the skin on your face, neck, or elsewhere — but don’t want to have surgery — HIFU is a non-invasive alternative. While the results will not be as dramatic as those of a facelift, the tightening and toning HIFU provides are impressive!

Love Your Reflection

Your HIFU Treatment Procedure

You can expect to feel a warm, prickly, or electrical pulsing sensation as your aesthetic specialist moves the wand of the HIFU device over your skin to penetrate the targeted area with ultrasound waves. This might be slightly uncomfortable, but it is not painful. Most treatments take between 30 and 60 minutes, although treating multiple or larger areas could take a little longer. No downtime is required so that you can return to your regular routine right away after your appointment.

Minimally Invasive. Maximally Impressive.

HIFU Treatment Results

Your results will show up gradually in the weeks following your HIFU Treatment. If your aesthetic specialist has recommended multiple treatments, you will see continued improvements after each session. Wrinkles and fine lines will be visibly reduced, and your skin will be more taut and toned. Many people achieve a much more sculpted, lifted chin and jawline. Having touch-up treatments approximately once a year will help you maintain your results. Your aesthetic specialist can help you plan the best treatment regimen for your needs.

HIFU Treatment Recovery and Aftercare

The number of HIFU treatments needed can vary depending on the individual and the treatment area. One to three treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results. You may have mild swelling or redness in the treatment area, but these side effects usually diminish within a few days. One of the biggest benefits of HIFU — aside from the outstanding results you can achieve without surgery—is the fact that treatments require no downtime. The ultrasound waves are highly targeted to reach the deeper layers of the skin, leaving the surface layer undamaged, making recovery quick and easy.
