HIFU

HIFU at Indyu Skin Clinic & Cosmetology Centre, Kochi

Skin laxity is a common concern prevailing amongst people these days. VERVE Hipro-V uses precise medical ultrasound energy to tighten and lift skin non-surgically. It stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of skin, without causing any damage to the surrounding skin. This allows patients to experience some level of tightening and lifting immediately after the treatment. However, the majority of result starts appearing gradually over the next 2-3 months as part of the body’s natural healing process that leads to the formation of new collagen. VERVE Hipro-V is a cost-effective HIFU technology available at Indyu.

Conventional HIFU devices are associated with tremendous pain. VERVE Hipro – V solves this problem by delivering shots at 10 Hz (20 shots get split over 2 seconds) – thus patients experiences 1 shot at a time instead of 20 shots altogether. Treatment with VERVE Hipro – V is very comfortable and patients feel very low or no pain.

In a HIFU Facelift treatment, focused ultrasonic energy is delivered deep into the dermis and foundational muscle layers of the skin, working at the same depths as a surgical face lift. Each micro shot stimulates the body’s own natural repair response, tightening muscle and creating a new matrix of collagen that gently lifts the skin, improving the tone of all the key facial features.

However, the results will not be as drastic and immediate as a surgical facelift. The process of regeneration takes place progressively and gradually, from the deeper tissue towards the skin surface, working naturally to both uplift and rejuvenate the skin. Areas that can be treated include, forehead, cheeks, neck, chin, around the eyes and jowl areas; smile lines are softened and nasolabial folds reduced. Best visible results are seen after 6 to 10 weeks, with continual on-going improvement up to 6 months as the new collagen matrix reaches its full strength.

HIFU facelift has the advantage of having practically no downtime. 

HIFU works equally well for people of all skin colours. In contrast to lasers and IPL technology, ultrasound energy is colour blind. HIFU targets the upper layers of the skin and dermis for collagen regeneration, via advanced ultrasound energy. Without the need for any downtime, this is perfect to achieve skin rejuvenation and tightening.
