    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.

    HIFU Applications

    • Medical:
      • Tumor treatment.
    • Cosmetic:
      • Face and neck lifting.
      • Eyebrow lifting.
      • Double chin reduction.
      • Wrinkle reduction.
      • Body skin tightening.

    Collagen

    • Collagen is an essential protein that supports the structure of tissue and skin.
