How much do you know about HIFU?

What is an HIFU ultrasonic scalpel beauty instrument?

HIFU Ultrasonic scalpel beauty equipment is currently the most advanced anti-aging skin tightening equipment. It uses ultrasound as the energy source and utilizes HIFU (High-Intensity Focused ULTrasound), high-energy focused ultrasonic scalpel technology. It can achieve the benefits of facelift surgery through non-invasive treatment. It affects the SMAS (fascial layer), so it has become the first choice for high-end wrinkle removal projects.

HIFU ultrasound scalpel

1. Concept of focused ultrasound

Ultrasound is a sound wave with a frequency higher than 20KHz. The upper limit of hearing for healthy adults is 20KHz, so the human ear cannot hear ultrasound.

High-intensity focused ultrasound is a medical technology that uses the thermal effect of ultrasound to eliminate diseased tissue in the body. The way HIFU works is very similar to the principle that sunlight focused by a magnifying glass causes paper at the focus to burn.

2. Working principle of focused ultrasound

The treatment depth is precisely controlled and the focused ultrasonic energy is accurately injected into the dermis, subcutaneous tissue and SMAS layer of the skin according to three depth levels of 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm. The thermal effect will increase the temperature of the target area. When the temperature reaches 47°C, a thermal treatment point will begin to form, tightening and lifting the surrounding tissue, improving the subcutaneous structure supporting the skin, initiating the collagen regeneration mechanism, and promoting the production of collagen and elastin. regeneration. At this time, the skin and muscles will regain elasticity, tighten and improve, achieving the effect of eliminating wrinkles.

There is a transducer in the treatment head of the ultrasonic scalpel, which converts the energy of electromagnetic waves into sound energy to focus. After focusing, it is emitted in the form of points. The motor emits the focused ultrasonic energy bit by bit, and the ultrasonic energy causes When the skin completely returns to normal, new tissue replaces the old tissue. This is the process of skin rejuvenation.

3. Focused ultrasound treatment effect

The immediate effect of treatment can be observed as local subtle lifting, skin whitening and improvement, and increased firmness;

One month after treatment, the overall skin is slightly lifted, the skin texture is improved and the firmness is enhanced, and the skin texture is smoother;

Three months after treatment, the overall body will be significantly lifted, the face will be firmer, and the skin around the eyes will feel lifted and expanded.

If the effect of the photo is not very obvious, you can manually measure and record the data, and use the changes in numbers to reflect the most obvious improvement after the ultrasonic surgery.
