Which one would you like to treat first wrinkles or sagging skin? HIFU treats both!

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new aesthetic treatment for skin tightening and lifting in context of Nepal, however it has been in use in other parts of world for more than a decade. Unique feature about HIFU is micro focused ultrasound energy is able to target deeper layer of the skin, the SMAS, where no other devices such as laser and radio-frequency have reached.

HIFU works by depositing focused ultrasound energy to the multiple layers of skin just below the surface starting from 1.5mm depth to 4.5mm depth. This brief ultrasound energy pulses cause the tissue to heat up rapidly and induces controlled damage. Body’s repair system senses the damage and begins to repair by making more collagen and elastin proteins that provides structure and support to the skin.
