Views 11

The non-invasive face lifting is becoming more and more popular because of its safety and high efficiency where there are almost no side effects or cosmetic complications.

Today, let's have a look at what Woo Eun Gyeong, director of LE MIEL plastic surgery, has to say about lifting procedures in beauty salons and dermatology clinics that use high-intensity focused ultrasound known as HIFU.

What is HIFU technology in face lifting?

Hifu technology applies high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to penetrate into different depths of the skin layer. Some equipment that use HIFU technology includes Ulthera, Doublo, Shurink and Liftera, all of which are not uncommon in the lifting beauty industry. 

According to Director Woo: “Ulthera is a lifting technology that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves, often abbreviated as HIFU. You can understand this process by the principle of ultrasonic waves passing through the object providing thermal energy in a focused point to create small wounds in the deep layer of the skin. Once the small wound is formed, collagen is able to reproduce which stimulates the lifting effect as well as tightening of the skin.”

Effectiveness of HIFU course?

Known as a high-end technology, the price of a HIFU treatment to restore youthfulness is not cheap. But the results come from the change in skin’s texture which is something that beauty believers are extremely interested in. After the HIFU process explanation by Director Woo, let's learn more about the face type that can achieve the best results after performing this procedure!

Director Woo: “First face type that is suitable for this procedure is sagging skin due to lack of elasticity in its texture. For example, the HIFU process will have a great effect in increasing the elasticity of the skin if when you try to pull the skin on your face with your hand, you can see that these skin layers are overlapping and stretching! In addition, HIFU ultrasound itself is also effective in dissolving fat with thermal energy, so it is the perfect treatment for those who are worried about excess fat on the face. Moreover,  the heat level of 60-70 degrees is the heat level to stimulate collagen production, and the HIFU process produces thermal energy at temperatures up to 70 degrees Celsius.”

How long does HIFU therapy last?

The effective maintenance time of this expensive beauty treatment is also something that many people care about. In particular, Ulthera is one of the most powerful lifting equipments. That's why in some cases after the first treatment, you can see the difference in the skin right after the procedure. But for the wound to heal completely and the collagen layer to be regenerated, it will take about 2 to 4 weeks.

Director Woo: “After about 1 month of treatment, you can see the most obvious effect. Compared to other HIFU lifting therapies, Ulthera therapy will last much longer. With Ulthera, this procedure will be suitable if done once a year, but if you want to enhance the lifting effect or want to reduce the excess fat on the face quickly, you can do the strengthening course for every 6 months, then a longer effect can be seen.”
