How does HIFU therapy work in skin tightening?
What is HIFU therapy?
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) therapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, which leads to firmer and tighter skin. It is a non-invasive procedure that treats skin laxity and enables rejuvenation.
The ultrasonic waves produced by HIFU therapy target the layers of skin just below the surface. As a result, no damage is done to the skin’s upper layers, and you can achieve tightening & firming with almost zero scarring and minimal recovery time.
A number of problem areas can be treated by HIFU therapy such as the forehead, jawline, neck, and other areas of the face that experience wrinkling and sagging.
HIFU Skin Tightening Procedure
In every HIFU therapy session, doctors usually begin by cleaning the targeted areas of the face and applying a cooling gel. Following that, they use a handheld HIFU-powered transducer which emits the ultrasound waves in short bursts.
When held above the skin, the device can deliver concentrated waves of ultrasound into multiple layers of skin and tissue. The ultrasonic waves create heat which penetrates deep into the skin layer to induce a process of neocollagenesis.
The heat damages targeted collagen, causing the body to produce more collagen as part of the healing process. Collagen is a substance in the skin which gives it its elasticity and structure. With new collagen produced, the skin eventually tightens and improves wrinkles and fine lines and sagging skin to make it an effective wrinkle treatment option.

One thing to note is that HIFU therapy sessions used at AEON utilises 4th-generation HIFU systems that have precise accuracy for effective HIFU skin tightening.

Unlike other cosmetic procedures, HIFU treatments do not require any special preparations. Also, with no recovery time, people can conveniently get on with their daily activities once their HIFU therapy session has ended.
The effects of HIFU skin tightening and face firming gradually show over the months following treatment. During this period, patients can keep up with their usual facial care routines.
Depending on the individual and the results they wish to achieve, repeated treatments can be considered after 3-4 months if needed.
