Aging, Photo damaged Skin Sagging skin on the neck, decollete, face along with wrinkles and body are common problems associated with aging. RF & ULTRASOUND system is the most commonly used procedure to stimulate the tissue production and strengthen the skin structure. HIFU enables skin tightening and improvement of the skin s appearance painlessly without post-op downtime of classic surgery applications or other invasive methods.

BEFORE AFTER FOCUS ( HIFU ) Though many things contribute to a younger, healthier appearance; one of the most important element is an amazing molecule called tissues. About 80% of your skin is made from tissues, giving the skin its basic structure. Tissue makes skin stronger, thicker and more supple, which is what makes skin smooth, firm and strong - and young looking. But unfortunately, as we age, the skin loses tissues and our body gradually produces less and less.
Scientists now understand that the gradual loss of tissue with age results in fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and other blemishes associated with aging. This process is further accelerated by exposure to the sun and other elements. As tissues lessens, the skin begins to weaken, gets thinner and less supple, and prone to fine lines, wrinkles and other blemishes.

HIFU Proposed more than 50years ago (1942, Lynn) Remained research field until 1990s Several clinical trials for the treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the prostate, bladder and kidney Applied in dermatology area only a few years ago
Clinical effects Immediate shrinkage induced by focused tissue denaturation wound contraction or neocollagenesis during thermal wound healing process Each dermal layer dependent the degree of contractility Dermal layer Sub Q
Clinical application - Cartridge (A type 4.5mm) Energy < or = 1.2J Spacing 1mm Interval < or =2mm - Cartridge(B type 3mm) Energy < or = 0.45J Spacing 1mm Interval < or =2mm - Contact the probe precisely. - Turning the probe upside down, US exposure is disturbed!
