Your collagen production will naturally slow down as you age. As a result, the face, neck, and décolletage start to lose elasticity and tone, and you often notice your skin start to sag or become looser. It can cause particular concern around the jawline or jowls, the neck, and the brow area.

Non-Surgical facials using the HIFU method are the best way of boosting collagen production that tends to slow down with age. This treatment will naturally kick-start your body to gently increase the collagen and elastin levels, helping to lift and tighten your skin.

What is HIFU?

HIFU is known as High-intensity focused ultrasound. It is a new cosmetic non-surgical treatment for skin tightening. It emits ultrasound energy into the deep dermis, superficial, and superficial muscular aponeurotic system layer of the skin for the triple-layer lifting effect on the targeted areas. Thus, it is an easy and painless replacement for facelifts. In addition, it uses ultrasound energy for collagen production.

Best Suited To Treat The Following Concerns: 

• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Cellulite & Loose skin
• Double chin reduction
• Sagging & Aging
• Facial Remodelling.

Is HIFU Good For Firming The Skin?

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is relatively good for firming the skin. It produces collagen by using ultrasound energy. You can go for HIFU treatment as it increases the firmness of your skin.

HIFU vs. Surgical Facelift

HIFU carries far fewer risks. It costs relatively lower than a surgical facelift. However, these results may not last when compared to the surgical method.  Repeated procedures may be needed for this method.

How does HIFU Facelift Treatment in Singapore Work?

• In this method, heat is generated at that specific level, starting a thermal coagulation process which stimulates collagen fibers to shorten and thicken, producing a tightening and lifting effect of the skin.
• For lifting, the superficial muscular aponeurotic system a layer is targeted explicitly with the 4.5mm transducer. The superficial muscular aponeurotic system layer is a crucial support structure of the face.

Why is HIFU So Popular?

 What Does The HIFU Treatment Feel?

• It may vary from person to person. For example, there may be a sensation of warmth or tingling that only lasts while the ultrasound energy is delivered.
• This discomfort is a good sign the collagen-building process has begun.

• The patient can see only 10% result in the 1st month, another 10% in the 2nd month, and an 80% result in the 3rd month as the process of wound healing and collagen remodeling takes 2-3 weeks.
