How Do Ultrasound Facials Work?
Ultrasound facials, also known as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) are used to improve the look of sagging skin around the eyes, eyebrows, jowls, neck and chin area. An ultrasound facial treatment is non-invasive and uses energy to stimulate deep layers of skin. HIFU is ideal for those who would like to firm up soft, crepey skin and improve the look of fine lines.
According to Medical News Today after prepping the area, a trained skin care professional holds a handheld HIFU device to their Client’s skin.
When switched on, the machine head emits high energy waves through the skin’s layers, to a single point deep below the skin's surface, between 4.5mm and 5mm. Bypassing the top layers of skin and going deep into the skin’s layers is "crucial," according to WebMD. It's important because collagen production takes place in these deeper layers.
Without leaving any visible marks on the skin, the process targets specific cells in these deeper layers, which stimulates the production of skin-plumping collagen and elastane.
According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, nonsurgical ultrasound treatments such as HIFU can:
The type of ultrasound that this procedure uses is different than the ultrasound that doctors use for medical imaging. HIFU uses high energy waves to target specific areas of the body.
