The increase in collagen ultimately results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles

You know how sometimes you start out a conversation about one thing and it turns into a totally different conversation? Or you know you want to buy one kind of thing and you end up completely loving something else?

Well, this kind of thing happens all the time in the medical field. Lots and lots of drugs are sold “off-label” because their side effects are often found to be good for some other ailment — that’s how they discovered Minoxidil (Rogaine) to help reverse baldness! It was a drug originally used for treating high blood pressure, but patients and health care providers noticed that hair growth was a side effect of treatment.

Other off-label uses of drugs produced cures or help for premature ejaculation, infertility, smoking cessation, loss of sex drive and more. So when you think about it, it really makes sense that a machine used to target and treat tumors could also have an effect on other body parts.

HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. This rapidly heats up the tissue. The cells reach a certain temperature and they experience cellular damage, which actually stimulates them to produce collagen, the protein that provides structure to the skin.

The increase in collagen ultimately results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the HIFU beams are focused below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers.

If you are a good HIFU candidate, the procedure can offer you wrinkle reduction, tightening of sagging skin on the neck, lifting of the cheeks, eyebrows, and eyelids, enhancing the definition of the jawline, tightening of the décolletage, smoothing of the skin overall.
