HIFU Treatment in Islamabad

Skin is the biggest organ of the human body which is elastic in nature. This elasticity is lost with the passage of time which leads to sagginess and wrinkles. There arises a need to tighten the skin. There are certain techniques and procedures available for skin tightening like face lifting but this is a surgical procedure and most people do not like surgical answers to their queries.  HIFU Treatment in Islamabad is a relatively new technique that is being employed for skin tightening.

What is HIFU?

As facelifts are surgical procedures so they are painful while High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) or Ultherapy is a noninvasive and painless procedure for skin tightening. The production of collagen is increased which is an important component of skin and gives skin its required elasticity. It makes the skin firm. It is effective in facial lifting and redefining wrinkles. It usually takes a few months for results to appear. It creates heat at deep levels in the skin. Targeted cells are damaged and the body tries to repair them. Collagen is produced which helps in the growth of new cells. This is the basic component that gives skin its elasticity and structure. 

Ideal Candidates:

Those people are ideal candidates who have:

• Saggy skin
• Skin elasticity is lost
• Skin lost elasticity after surgery
• If you need to change the complexion and texture of the skin
• Skin needs to be tightened around the neck
• Eyelids are lifted
• Wrinkles correction on the face
• Chest skin is made smooth and is need to be tightened

One thing that needs to be kept in mind is that this ultrasound is different from the one used by medical practitioners. This is high frequency and highly targeted.

Those people who are not suited for this procedure are:

• Those who have open skin lesions
• If you are suffering from severe or cystic acne
• If you have metallic implants in the target area

HIFU Facial:

• Skin comprises of different layers. All these layers lie one above the other. It means there is a stacking of layers. These layers are made of cells.
• When these cells are heated, they cause heating up of the tissues.
• The targeted area’s cells suffer cellular damage once they reach a specified temperature.
• Although it might seem contradictory, the damage actually prompts the cells to make more collagen, a substance that gives the skin structure.
• Since collagen production has increased, skin is tighter, firmer, and less wrinkled.
• There is no harm done to the upper layers of the skin or the nearby problem.
• The high-frequency ultrasound beams are concentrated on a specific tissue spot underneath the skin’s surface.

Results of HIFU Treatment in Islamabad:

Results of HIFU Treatment in Islamabad are excellent as it is performed by the Best Aesthetic Physician. As collagen levels rise, skin becomes firmer, tighter, and less wrinkled. The upper layers of the skin and the nearby problem are not harmed since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are concentrated on a specific tissue spot underneath the skin’s surface.

The Procedure of HIFU:

The procedure of HIFU consists of the following important steps:

• Cleaning of the targeted area
• A topical anaesthetic is placed over the area
• Application of ultrasound gel over the area
• Placement of HIFU device against the area
• Setting up of the device to the required specifications
• Delivery of ultrasound waves on the target area
• Short pulses are applied for 80 to 90 minutes
• Removal of the device from the area
• The whole process needs various treatment sessions. There are tingling sensations. Analgesics are the options if you feel pain.
• No downtime is required as this is a noninvasive procedure.

The procedure of HIFU results in long-term fat removal. It targets a particular area, such as the stomach or thighs, and uses heat to break down the fat cells there. Along with eliminating fat, it also encourages collagen development, which firms and tightens the skin. Treatments for HIFU skin tightening include no cutting or drilling.
