HIFU (Focused Ultrasound) – Body

As is known, HIFU, or Focused Ultrasound, is an energy-based device used for non-surgical skin tightening. This device also proves to be a good treatment option for loss of elasticity in the body. “Next-Generation Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) systems utilize a combination of three technologies (HIFU = Focused Ultrasound + RF + Vacuum) used in skin rejuvenation and tightening. This combination allows for treatment of every layer of the skin in a single session. This FDA-approved and non-invasive method aims to reach the SMAS (the layer containing muscle sheaths) and collagen, the target tissue.

The non-surgical and non-invasive NEW GENERATION FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (HIFU + RF + VACUUM) offers an alternative treatment option, especially for patients who do not want surgery, dislike needle-based procedures, and want to return to their normal lives quickly.

How Does HIFU (FOCUSED ULTRASOUND) Work?

The HIFU, or Focused Ultrasound System, is based on the principle of creating “hot spots” in the lower layers of the skin using ultrasound energy (sound waves focused on deep tissues). In the application, the skin is penetrated from 8 mm…” With different heads up to 24 mm, heat-induced damage is created at depths of 13 mm, 4.5 mm, 3.5 mm, and 1.5 mm. In other words, an injury and healing process is planned. Thanks to these points created under the skin, the skin’s self-repair process is triggered, strengthening the “connective tissue” beneath the skin. This strengthened connective tissue increases collagen production, creating a “lifting” effect on the skin’s surface. Because it does not affect the upper layer of the skin, it does not cause any damage to the skin’s surface. By targeting deeper layers—the dermis, subcutaneous fat layer, and the SMAS membrane covering the muscles—it increases new collagen production through highly targeted energy.

How Do RF (Radiofrequency) and Vacuum Treatments Work?

The radiofrequency probe is bipolar and particularly effective on the superficial layers of the skin. The aim is to heat the skin and subcutaneous tissues with electromagnetic radio waves applied in a controlled manner using thermostimulation technique, renewing collagen and elastin fibers, the building blocks of the skin, increasing skin elasticity, and thus tightening sagging skin. Vacuum, on the other hand, is important in body firming treatments and cellulite treatments for regulating circulation. Vacuum therapy applied to key points ensures the removal of all kinds of harmful scavenger cells and toxins from the body. This needle-free RF (Radiofrequency) system is also called ‘Satin Face Lift’ in the aesthetics industry.

How is HIFU (Focused Ultrasound) Used on the Body? Is it Effective in Cellulite and Firming?

NEW GENERATION FOCUSED ULTRASOUND offers many treatment options for the entire body, including anti-aging, firming, and cellulite treatment. It has special 13 mm heads for body applications. Additionally, different head options from 1.5 mm to 24 mm allow for treatment of different body areas. Synergistic treatment options can be achieved with treatment protocols recommended by your doctor. It can be combined with many Mesotherapy and Lipolysis applications. Thus, both slimming and firming can be achieved simultaneously.

HIFU (FOCUSED ULTRASOUND) How Many Sessions Are Required? When Do the Effects Begin? What is the Duration of Effects? Is There Pain or Discomfort? Does it Affect Daily Life?

Body applications are planned independently of facial HIFU, according to your doctor’s recommendations and needs. It is usually applied as a single session with multiple shots. Effective results begin to be seen between 30 and 60 days. The duration of effects is approximately 2 years according to clinical studies. There is no pain or discomfort during the procedure, only a slight tingling sensation. A mild redness may occur after treatment, which usually subsides within one or two hours. It does not affect daily life.

HIFU (Focused Ultrasound) – Which Areas of the Body Can It Be Applied To?

• Removal of sagging skin on the knees, arms, and inner thighs
• Cellulite treatment

Can NEW GENERATION FOCUSED ULTRASOUND BE COMBINED WITH OTHER SYSTEMS?

It can be combined with applications such as thread lift, exosome, PRP, CGF, youth vaccine, salmon DNA, fibrocell, etc., as recommended by your doctor. Combined treatments always support the duration of effectiveness.

Who Should Not Undergo HIFU (Focused Ultrasound)? Which Age Groups Can It Be Performed On? Can It Be Applied to Men? What is the Application Time?

It is not performed on individuals with active skin infections (herpes virus), those with electronic devices such as pacemakers or metal stents in their bodies, those with diseases that prevent wound healing or blood clotting, those with autoimmune diseases, those with epilepsy, children, and pregnant women. Individuals in their 30s and older who are beginning to lose skin elasticity are the most suitable candidates. Therefore, it can be applied to both women and men. Cellulite treatment, on the other hand, can be applied to all age groups, starting from the age group that has completed puberty and has a problem with cellulite. The treatment takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
