Before and After of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Facelift

Aging is a natural part of life and as the years pass all of us notice inevitable changes in our appearance. However, a poor diet and exposure to toxins and chemicals can make us age faster. If you want to reverse the effects of aging and enjoy glowing, youthful skin, you should consider getting a high-intensity focused ultrasound facelift (HIFU).

What is a HIFU facelift?

A HIFU facelift is a revolutionary non-invasive and completely painless technique that uses focused ultrasonic energy to create heat under your skin. The purpose of this heat is to repair damaged skin cells and increase the production of collagen. The ultrasounds also increase cell regrowth and improve skin elasticity.

It’s important to note that the ultrasound used in HIFU is not the same as the ultrasound used in medical imaging.

What are the Benefits of a HIFU facelift?

Compared to other non-invasive and painless treatments, a HIFU facelift gives a very dramatic improvement immediately after the treatment.

HIFU facelifts can help:

• Lift drooping eyelids
• Create a more defined jawline
• Lift the cheeks to minimize a drooping nasolabial fold
• Tighten your skin
• Smooth out wrinkles

While the effects can be seen immediately, it will continue to improve even upto 6 weeks after the treatment.

What Can I Expect During a HIFU Facelift?

When you come to the Superhuman Clinic for a HIFU treatment, one of our health specialists will clean your face and apply a gel over the treatment area. An ultrasound device will then be used to emit short waves into your skin and each session generally lasts around one hour.

The experience isn’t painful but you may experience slight discomfort during and after the treatment. The good news is you don’t have to prepare beforehand, and there is also no recovery time required after the treatment. It can take anywhere from one to five sessions for you to see the results you’re looking for.

Because we are stimulating new collagen and elastin the results are permanent, however keep in mind that “maintenance” treatments may be required 1-2 times a year as we continue to age.

Reduce Signs of Aging with a HIFU Facelift

HIFU facelift is a nonsurgical technique that you can opt for to smooth out your skin and reverse the signs of aging. HIFU is a great alternative to getting surgical procedures as it offers promising results with zero recovery time needed.

The 4 Major Benefits of Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is on the rise- for more reasons than one. Immersing your body into a cold chamber to shock your nervous system awake can offer you some serious health benefits. From helping you with your mental health to speeding up your recovery after exercise, this cold exposure therapy can give your body the boost it needs to thrive.

Why Should I Try Cryogenic Therapy?

When you go in for a cryotherapy session, you expose your body to extremely low temperatures (-110℃ to -160 ℃). Though you’re only exposed to the cold for a few minutes, there’s still enough time for your body to receive positive results from this therapy.

There are three main benefits you expect from Cryotherapy:

1. Weight Loss / Metabolic Rate Boost

Cryotherapy subjects your body to frigid temperatures. Hence this puts your body in a state where it’s going to want to maintain homeostasis. Keep in mind that calories are simply units of heat. What happens during cryotherapy is that your body actually increases its basal metabolic rate to burn calories in an effort to maintain a healthy body temperature. The effect of this is that you’re able to burn up to 500 calories in a 2 to 3 minute cryotherapy session! Many are turning to cryotherapy for weight loss as a quick and easy tool to make progress.

2. Pain Reduction

The frigid cold environment in the cryochamber will quickly reduce your core body temperature. This sudden drop gives you a sensory shock and activates your nervous system. Along with this shock, your blood vessels also constrict, reducing your blood flow. However, as soon as you step into the warmth again, your vessels expand, and this can lead to an increase in the production of anti-inflammatory proteins. Through this mechanism, cryotherapy can help reduce pain and inflammation.

If you also suffer from headaches and migraines, cryotherapy can help reduce the constant pain by numbing the nerves in your neck and cooling the blood in that area.

3. Exercise Recovery

If your joints are hurting after exercising, cryotherapy can also help speed up your recovery. Since cryogenic increases the production of anti-inflammatory proteins in your body and also increases your white blood cell count, it not only helps with pain reduction but can help your muscles regenerate faster after you face an injury.

4. Improves Mental Disorders

Apart from reducing your pain, cryotherapy can also help reduce symptoms of mental disorders such as anxiety and depression. A study recently revealed that adults who were suffering from depression saw a significant decrease in their symptoms when undergoing cryotherapy alongside their regular medication. Another study revealed that cryogenic not only improved symptoms of depression, but it also reduced anxiety and resulted in overall greater life satisfaction when it was regularly undertaken for over three weeks.

Since cryotherapy reduces inflammation, it may also help prevent certain forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease.
