HIFU at Mojo Beauty
Treating Body Versus Face
HIFU uses ultrasound to treat stubborn fat & skin laxity. More specifically, HIFU uses 65-75°C of HIFU to target your specific area of concern. This temperature will cause skin coagulation to the targeted tissue and trigger your skin to stimulate a wound healing response. The wound healing has three separate phases which all contribute to the breakdown of fat and tightening of the skin. These phases are:
Inflammation Phase – Red, hot, slightly swollen skin which occurs immediately post treatment and lasts up to 48 hours.
Proliferative Phase – From the third day until the 6th week after the treatment. This will cause a rapid production of new skin cells & break the tissue into small particles. Consequently causing the wounded cells to contract, and stimulate collagen synthesis.
The third and final stage of the wound healing process is the remodelling phase. During this stage, the collagen fibres are strengthening and rearranging themselves. This rearrangement causes the skin to visibly lift and tighten, and the fat layer is reduced.
Whilst this might sound intense, you won’t require a numbing cream or any skin preparation. You will also receive an instant as well as ongoing result.
Whilst it is exciting that we can tighten stretched skin and rid stubborn, unwanted fat, it is not favourable for everyone on all areas of the body. Many of us would be happy to lose volume on locations such as inner & outer thighs, stomach, and back of our arms. However not our face!
Volume in the face is responsible for that youthful, rejuvenated, & glowing appearance which many of us strive for and would not want to remove.
The Ulfit HIFU allows us to target specific areas by allowing us to change the cartridges (and therefore depth) for each area. Controlling the depth of the HIFU is important in order to target what we would like to alter in the skin. For example, a 6mm depth is used to reach the subcutaneous layer of the skin to specifically target fat cells. However if we want rejuvenate the skin without losing volume, we would use a maximum of 4.5mm which will be able to focus on firming and lifting the skin whilst retaining the volume. Through the varying changeable cartridges, we can achieve a non-surgical face lift, AKA the Hollywood facial or Lunchtime Facelift!
