HIFU using FocusDual
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a clinically proven medical grade technology, for non invasive facelifting and the reduction of lines and wrinkles. This advanced technology is able to achieve results that were once only possible with surgery! HIFU is growing in popularity as dramatic results can be achieved with only one or two sessions.
Without damaging the skin’s surface, FocusDual delivers High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, causing a thermal reaction to deep structures, such as SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), dermal layer & boundary layer of subcutaneous where the connective tissue starts to weaken. This ultimately stimulates collagen within the SMAS and dermis, and induces skin tightening. There is no downtime with HIFU though it creates instant heat coagulation points so you can feel and see immediate effects.
About HIFU
How does it work?
Without damaging the skin surface FocusDual delivers intense ultrasound energy (HIFU: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to the muscle fascia in order to tighten the sagged muscle fascia. FocusDual is a non-invasive and non-surgical device to offer safe and effective treatments. It creates instant heat coagulation points so you can feel the effects immediately. HIFU is a typical non surgical treatment that stimulates collagen within the SMAS and dermis, and induces skin tightening. It can effectively induce the contraction of both without stimulation by focusing ultrasonic waves in a specific part of the Dermal tissue.

Technology
(4.5mm)
The SMAS layer is located in the depth of 4.5mm from the facial surface and means a layer of tissue that covers, surrounds and attaches to the deeper tissues and structures of the face. When this layer is loosened, the facial muscle gets sagged and it makes you look older. By delivering energy to the muscle fascia and creating focal coagulation points FocusDual tightens the muscle fascia and gets excellent lighting results.
(3.0mm)
By revitalizing aged collagen and elastin in depth of 3.0mm it’s guarantees various treatment effects like wrinkle reduction, skin tightening and skin tone improvement.
(1.5mm)
By delivering HIFU energy to the epidermis layer, you can get various treatment effects like wrinkle reduction around the areas of the eyes and the mouth where the skin is thin, and skin tightening.
