Non-surgical lifting: what it is and what it is used for
We often talk about this treatment, also known as Hifu (focused ultrasound), for remodelling the face with a natural effect and improving skin tone in a non-invasive way.
What do we need to know?
First of all, the treatment is carried out on the following areas:
- eye contour
- lower third of the face
- counter of the face
- double chin
- neck
- décolleté
Moreover, it can be performed at any season of the year as it does not cause exfoliation, redness or side effects.
Hifu acts on different imperfections in a customised way according to the patient's needs as it is possible to change the depth of the heads used during the treatment, which will work more on fat reduction or skin tone.
Three to four sessions 30 days apart are usually recommended. The results obtained are then maintained over time by performing touch-up sessions once a year.
It is important to emphasise that our Hifu is specifically for the face, because the intensity of action and the depth it reaches are ideal for treating this area. At our studio we also have another Hifu available, specifically for the body. What changes are the depths and the powers used, which in the case of the body will be greater to treat mainly subcutaneous fat, while for the face we will focus more on toning the skin and reshaping it in a natural way.
It is not possible to compare non-surgical lifting with surgical lifting, as it is non-invasive and not a procedure involving a scalpel, stitches and a convalescence period. It is ideal, however, for those who wish to improve their appearance, reshape their face and tone their skin without undergoing plastic surgery.
