HIFU Skin Tightening in San Antonio: What to Know
HIFU Skin Tightening: What You Should Know
Curious about HIFU? Here's what it is, how it works, what areas can be treated, what to expect, and how to decide if this non-invasive treatment may be right for you.
What is HIFU?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy at targeted depths beneath the skin.
Unlike surgical lifting procedures, HIFU does not require surgical incisions. Instead, focused energy is delivered to selected treatment areas as part of a personalized aesthetic treatment plan.
Your provider determines the treatment approach based on your skin, facial structure and goals.
How does HIFU work?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy that can be delivered at selected depths beneath the skin. The energy is concentrated in targeted areas rather than being applied broadly across the surface.
The goal is to create a controlled treatment response beneath the skin while leaving the surrounding surface relatively undisturbed.
Focus
Ultrasound energy is directed toward selected treatment depths.
Target
Your provider focuses treatment on areas selected during your consultation.
Respond
The treated area responds over time as part of the body's natural processes.
