Employing ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin on the face remains one of the most effective non-invasive treatment to give you a V-shaped face. The technology called High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, commonly known as HIFU, is a technological breakthrough, offering people a non-invasive option to a surgical face lift. After gathering feedback from patients and reading studies (or lack thereof) of other HIFU machines, we made these observations:

• DEPTH Unable to consistently heat at 3 layers – i.e. 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm. Too shallow may cause burns and too deep can reach the bone and it can be extremely painful and no neocollagenesis occurs.
• TEMPERATURE Unable to substantiate with studies that it can heat tissue consistently to 60-70°C although manufacturers claimed that their machines can.
• PRECISION No evidence to support the claim that it can precisely target and effectively treat the tissue under the skin.
• IMAGING No real time imaging provided. Decreased safety and potentially inconsistent results, leading to reduced efficacy.
• RESULTS Unconfirmed. No supporting publication on desired outcome.
