ULTRAcel Q+: The Latest in HIFU Technology

In recent years, nonsurgical alternatives to facelifts have become one of the most sought after treatments, with the number of procedures performed increasing by 64.8 percent between 2012 and 2017. While there are a number of treatments available to target the upper layers of the skin, none are as effective as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

Despite having a long history of success within the medical industry, HIFU technology has only been developed for cosmetic purposes since 2008. Although a relatively new cosmetic treatment, HIFU has revolutionised skin tightening and body contouring treatments.

So, how does it work?

HIFU delivers concentrated ultrasound energy to heat the layers of skin beneath the surface. This works to stimulate the cells, leading to tissue rejuvenation and collagen production. The result? Firmer, tighter skin.

In fact, HIFU treatments have many aesthetic benefits, including:

• Wrinkle reduction
• Skin firming and rejuvenation
• Non-invasive lifting for the face
• Body contouring and tightening

What do the experts say?

The results are in and the future of HIFU looks promising.

In fact, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery claim that HIFU skin tightening treatments are capable of producing positive results within two to three months following treatment, and that good skin care can help maintain these results for up to a year.

A 2017 study on the effectiveness of HIFU facial treatments found that skin elasticity was dramatically improved in 32 Korean subjects in just 12 weeks.

Another study analysed the experience of 73 women and two men who underwent HIFU treatments. An 80 percent improvement in facial and neck skin was reported, alongside a patient satisfaction rate of 78 percent.

In an even larger study of 93 people, 66 percent of HIFU patients noted an improvement in the appearance of their face and neck within 90 days.

As a newer procedure to hit the aesthetic industry, these incredible findings are just the beginning for HIFU technology.
