Elevate your beauty with the power of Bio HIFU

Introduction:

High-intensity focused ultrasound treatment has recently emerged in response to the increasing demand for noninvasive procedures for skin lifting and tightening. Bio HIFU could be a safe, effective and non-invasive procedure that can be used to improve facial wrinkles and skin laxity in Skin. It is particularly effective for clinical improvement in the jawline, cheek and perioral areas. 

Bio HIFU is an FDA approved non-invasive technology for facelift and fat reduction. Three cartridges can be used for Bio HIFU facial. These target 1.5 mm, 3mm, 4.5 skin depth. If a treatment is done at the wrong depth and targets fat, a volume reduction may occur.

Advantages or Benefits of Bio HIFU:

If you want to avoid surgery, then Bio HIFU skin tightening is a good alternative. If you are uncomfortable with excessive facial fat or sagging skin on your face, making you look older than you are, then Bio HIFU treatments are definitely worth it.

According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, nonsurgical ultrasound treatments such as Bio HIFU can:

>> tighten the skin on the neck
>> reduce the appearance of jowls
>> lift drooping eyelids or eyebrows
>> smooth wrinkles on the face
>> smooth and tighten chest pain

Negative of Bio HIFU:

IN some cases, Bio HIFU can result in changes in skin texture, such as the formation of dimples or uneven skin. This can be temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of injury. Sometimes Skin irritation or rashes can be visible.

Mechanism:

Doctors usually begin Bio HIFU facial rejuvenation by cleaning the chosen area of the face and applying a gel. Then, they use a handheld device that emits the ultrasound waves in short bursts. Each session typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes.  Bio HIFU is a procedure which forms a coagulation point with 4MHz and 7MHz ultrasound energy, this ultrasound energy generates 65 to 80 degree C heat which is delivered to the skin deep layer to tighten the skin, without damage to the skin surface or surrounding tissue. Some

people report mild discomfort during the treatment, and some have pain afterward. Doctors may apply a local anesthetic before the procedure to help prevent this pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil), may also help.

Bio HIFU facials do not require any preparation. When a session is over, there is also no recovery time, which means that people can get on with their daily activities after receiving Bio HIFU treatment.

People may require between one to three sessions, depending on the results they want to achieve.

Does the research say that it works?

Many reports say that Bio HIFU facials work. It is worth noting that each of the above studies involved only a relatively small number of participants.

# The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery say that ultrasound skin tightening usually produces positive results in 2–3 months and that good skin care can help maintain these results for up to 1 year.

# 2018 by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc. Published say that, 231 studies on the use of ultrasound technology. After analyzing the studies that involved ultrasound for treating skin tightening, body tightening, and cellulite reduction, the researchers concluded that the technique is safe and effective.

# A study Published online 2015 Dec 7. doi: 10.5021/ad.2015.27.6.688 on the effectiveness of HIFU facials in people from Korea found that the procedure worked best to improve the appearance of wrinkles around the jaws, cheeks, and mouth. The researchers compared standardized photographs of the participants from before the treatment with those from 3 and 6 months after the treatment.

Clinical photographs showing before (A, D), 3 months (B, D), and 6 months (C, F) after high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment. 

22 May 2017 journal of cosmetic dermatology reveals that, evaluated the effectiveness of a HIFU facial after 7 days, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, the participants’ skin elasticity had significantly improved in all the treated areas.

Summary

A high intensity focused ultrasound facial, or Bio HIFU facial, can be an effective way to minimize the signs of aging. As a nonsurgical technique, Bio HIFU calls for less recovery time than a surgical facelift, but the results will not be as pronounced. Still, researchers have found that the procedure can firm sagging skin, smooth wrinkles, and improve skin texture. With good aftercare, the benefits of a Bio HIFU facial can last for about 1 year.
