HIFU Treatments with The Skin Girl
​
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.
How HIFU works:
​
1. Targeted Ultrasound Energy
HIFU delivers highly concentrated ultrasound waves to specific layers of the skin, including the deep dermis and the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS), the layer commonly targeted in surgical facelifts.
​
2. Deep Tissue Penetration
The ultrasound energy penetrates deep into the skin without affecting the surface. It heats tissues at a precise depth (typically 1.5mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm) to a temperature of about 60–70°C.
​
3. Thermal Effect
The focused heat creates controlled micro-injuries in the targeted areas, stimulating the body's natural wound-healing response. This process increases collagen and elastin production, essential proteins for skin firmness and elasticity.
​
4. Skin Tightening and Lifting
As new collagen forms over time (usually taking 8–12 weeks), the skin gradually tightens, resulting in a firmer, more lifted appearance. three treatments are recommended spaced around 12 weeks apart.
