Sometimes skincare is not enough, especially for obvious loose skin or for those who want to magically look younger in a matter of months.
Is this even possible?
Yes.
Actually, there are multiple ways to lift your face and tighten your skin. But if you do not want anything invasive and do not have time for a long recovery period, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is one of your best options.
It uses focused ultrasound to “focus” on skin layers beneath the surface. These ultrasound waves produce heat in those layers to injure the cells. This natural cell injury forces the skin to go through a natural healing process and produces collagen. With more collagen, your skin becomes tighter and more elastic.
Does it hurt?
It is uncomfortable. This is why a numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure. If your pain tolerance is too low, you can also take a painkiller.
What can you expect after?
Some tenderness can be felt right after, which will subside within a week. Visible results may or may not appear right away but will be more noticeable after a month or so. This is because you have to give your skin time to heal and work its magic.
How do you prepare for this?
Discontinue your skincare that contains acids and retinoids/retinol 3 days prior to your treatment day to avoid complications.
