1. HIFU Principle
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an efficient focused ultrasound technology. It heats the skin through high-focused heating, raising skin tissues to 60°C to 70°C, locking the heat energy in the dermis to avoid affecting other skin tissues. This heat energy penetrates deep into the dermis fascia, stimulating the generation of skin collagen and elastin proteins, rapidly tightening the inner layers of the skin known as SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System).
2. Effects of HIFU Machines
HIFU machines not only shape a V-shaped face, enhancing facial contours, they can also be used on body areas to effectively reduce subcutaneous fat. For areas prone to fat accumulation like the abdomen, arms, and thighs, HIFU technology can dissolve deep-seated fat, leading to a more slender physique.
3. Suitable Candidates for HIFU Machines
o Sagging skin: Suitable for users with loose skin.
o Indistinct facial contours: Suitable for users looking to improve facial contour lines.
o Drooping upper eyelids and lack of skin elasticity: Suitable for skin conditions with drooping upper eyelids and diminished elasticity.
4. Aftercare Following HIFU Treatment
After completing a HIFU treatment, individuals may experience slight pain, redness, and dry skin. This is due to the heat generated during the HIFU process, which can evaporate skin moisture, necessitating proper moisturization. Additionally, post-treatment, direct sunlight exposure should be avoided, SPF30 or higher sunscreen products should be used, and activities like saunas should be avoided.
5. Comparison Between Home-Use HIFU Machines and Salon HIFU Machines
Home-use HIFU machines and salon HIFU machines generally target the same skin layers, acting on the epidermis and dermis. Some high-end home machines can even reach the fascia layer (SMAS).
In terms of depth and temperature, different types of HIFU machines vary. Typically, the depth and temperature of home-use HIFU machines are slightly lower than those of salon models, but they can still achieve skin tightening effects.
Regarding usage frequency and duration of effects, home-use HIFU machines also offer certain advantages. Due to their convenience for anytime use, users can flexibly adjust usage frequency based on their needs, maintaining skin condition continuously. The effects typically last for 1-2 years.
