Study Notes
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
- HIFU is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin.
- The procedure involves concentrating ultrasound waves to heat and destroy targeted cells.
- HIFU is based on advanced technology that generates high-density concentrated ultrasound.
HIFU Device Components
- Control Unit: Controls the HIFU device's functions.
- Power Generator: Generates the ultrasound energy.
- Acoustic Transducer: Converts electrical energy into ultrasound waves.
- Application Tool (Probe): Delivers the ultrasound energy to the targeted area.
- Cooling System: Maintains the temperature of the device during operation.
HIFU Treatment Process
- Emission of ultrasound waves: Ultrasound waves are emitted from the probe.
- Focusing on a targeted area: The waves are focused on a specific area of the skin.
- Heating and destroying targeted cells: The focused ultrasound energy heats and destroys targeted cells.
- Therapeutic effects: The destruction of cells triggers the body's natural healing process, leading to skin tightening and lifting.
