HIFU is a special type of ultrasound: high-intensity and focused. “High-intensity” because it has more energy than “normal” ultrasound. And “focused” means that the device bundles the ultrasound waves, creating an effect similar to that of a burning glass.
The result? The focused ultrasound energy causes a short, precise heat impulse deep in the connective tissue. Old, sagging collagen fibers contract and shrink in response – an initial immediate effect.
But that’s not all: over the next few months, your body responds to the controlled injury with an intensive repair program. Damaged collagen fibers are broken down and replaced with fresh material. And as you know, collagen is one of our most important allies when it comes to firming and rejuvenating the skin.
