In the past decade, the world has seen a growing number of people looking to spend on cosmetic procedures, to enhance their looks and get better skin. This has resulted in the development and advancement of a lot of cosmetic, non-invasive procedures, that one can choose from. A very popular procedure among these, is a High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Facial. It is used mainly for skin lifting and tightening, and for reducing lines and wrinkles.
HIFU works in a way quite similar to a laser procedure. Just as laser beams target the skin below the surface in a laser procedure, ultrasound waves are used in an HIFU facial. The energy from ultrasound waves targets the skin below the surface, which heats up the tissue underneath. This heat causes the damaged cells to break down, hence helping to repair the overall condition of the skin.
It is no secret that collagen, a protein produced by the body, is essential for healthy skin. The heat used to target damaged cells in an HIFU procedure also promotes the production of collagen, which ensures you face less of the skin-ageing problems like sagging, wrinkles and fine lines. Further, because it is non-invasive in nature, the procedure has become widely popular compared to the surgical face-lifting procedure. It also costs just around 20% of what a surgical face-lift would cost you.
