High Intensity Focused Ultrasound HIFU is a relatively new cosmetic skin tightening treatment. It uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter skin. HIFU is most widely known for its use in the treatment of tumours. HIFU was first reported for cosmetic use in 2008. In 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved HIFU for brow lifting. In 2014, the device was also approved by the FDA for improving the appearance of wrinkles on the upper chest and neck (collar area) wrinkles. Several small clinical trials have found HIFU to be safe and effective for lifting the face and reducing wrinkles. People can see results within a few months of treatment without the need for surgery. Although the treatment is also used for overall facial rejuvenation, lifting, firming and contouring, these are considered “off-label” uses of HIFU, meaning that the FDA has not approved HIFU for these purposes. More evidence is needed to determine who is best suited to receive this treatment.

Here is some key information about HIFU skin rejuvenation:

Efficacy: HIFU ultrasound machine is a non-invasive, painless skin tightening treatment that stimulates collagen production for firmer skin. BVLASER can provide OEM HIFU anti-wrinkle machine.

Cost: The cost of HIFU varies by region and clinic. Typically, HIFU is much less expensive than traditional facial procedures.

Is it painful: HIFU does not usually cause severe pain, but there may be slight discomfort.

Side effects: Side effects of HIFU are usually rare, but may include redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, and temporary numbness.

According to some clinical studies, complications of using high-intensity focused ultrasound to treat deep dermal facial skin and subcutaneous tissues include mandibular petechiae, facial oedema, temporary lip and eyebrow paralysis, and facial fat atrophy. In severe cases, this may lead to a risk of nerve damage and excessive scarring of the zygomaticus major or zygomaticus minor muscles. However, these complications are uncommon.
