It is presented as an effective alternative to surgical procedures, non-invasive, without incisions in the skin, with immediate and long-term results in body contouring and tightening processes.

Physiologically, the HIFU system causes, at the selected depth, an increase in temperature that can reach between 65º-75ºC, causing immediate adipocyte (fat cell) destruction and tissue remodeling.

HIFU is a totally safe treatment. Ultrasonic energy has been used for more than 50 years, in different sectors, physiotherapy, surgery, and evolves towards aesthetic and medical-aesthetic sectors.

A full facial treatment ranges from 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the area to be treated. Once the session is over, the patient can carry out their daily activity. The redness and any effects produced disappear within a few hours of treatment.

In general, people aged 30 and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity and less firm skin are the candidates. There are also younger patients who want to keep skin healthy, as well as those who are looking to extent and enhance the effects of aesthetic surgery.

Collagen is a natural protein that gives the skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm, toned and elastic. As we age, collagen loses its elasticity and its ability to cope with the effects of gravity that pull the skin down. HIFU initiates a repair process that produces new collagen.

The concentration in high ultrasonic intensity produces the immediate retraction of the tissue, producing a tightening effect, which thanks to the natural stimulation of fibroblast allows the firming effect to be maintained for a long time. It is an option of natural tissue regeneration process for people who do not want to undergo surgical interventions.

Lasers typically address issues in the surface layers of the skin (e.g., fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation changes). HIFU deals with the deep layer of the skin and the fundamental layer addressed in cosmetic surgery that lifts and supports the skin. Therefore, the two technologies are quite complementary! On the other hand, the most profound laser rejuvenation systems are invasive technologies and attack the tissue, requiring a period of healing and convalescence.

Selecting the area according to the necessary depth as well as the optimal treatment transducer will be key during the session, thus avoiding unnecessary discomfort.

From the first session, the patient will notice the result. Initial tightening, improvement of tissue density, will be one of the first "symptoms" of treatment. The collagen will have an approximate restructuring time of 21 days, after this time, the amount of regenerated collagen will increase. The optimal lifting effect is achieved at 3 months and continues to increase until the sixth month after the session, at which time the results are maximum.

At low intensity, the sensation is of a sudden increase in temperature, but bearable. At higher powers, at a medical-aesthetic level, it is recommended to work with higher energies and use of anesthetic.

Patients have noted that there may be some discomfort during treatment, but it is temporary and a positive sign that the process of creating collagen has begun.

Pain levels vary from patient to patient, there may be some discomfort while the ultrasound energy is being emitted.

Your technician will consult with you before your treatment to make your experience as pleasant as possible. Patients are often happy and excited about the benefits that are to come!

There may be minor redness for up to an hour or so after treatment, and a small percentage of clients may have mild swelling, tingling, or sensitivity to the touch, but these are insignificant and temporary in nature. The feeling of a muscle-training sore is common, but it is quickly relieved.
