WHAT IS A NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT?

As we age, naturally we produce less collagen, resulting in loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles. The HIFU Non-surgical facelift targets deep below all layers of the skin to tighten, lift and contour areas of the face, chin and neck. ⁠⁠New collagen is triggered and regenerated. Resulting in the ultimate facelift without the risk of needles or surgery. Turn back the clock with no downtime!

If you have wrinkles, fine lines, or sagging skin on your face or neck the Prolift HIFU treatment is the perfect treatment to lift, tighten and rejuvenate your skin. Areas that can be treated: Forehead, Eyebrows, Periorbital Area, Cheeks, Jowl’s, Double Chin, Neck, Décolletage, Abdomen, Hands, Knees, Inner Thighs.

While many things may increase and improve with age (experience, wisdom, and financial security) unfortunately collagen production is not one of them.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive therapy that uses focused ultrasound waves to thermally ablate a portion of tissue, meaning the tissue is destroyed using intense heat. Micro-focused ultrasound energy is delivered precisely into multiple skin depths without damaging the surface of the skin. It is first delivered to the dermal layer to stimulate collagen production and renewal and then even deeper to the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer to create lift. The result, over time, is natural skin lifting, tightening and contouring.

Reclaim your youthful appearance! When the skin has less collagen, the weakened structure can lead to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, and "jowls", creating an aged look for otherwise healthy, vibrant people. Prolift HIFU can turn back the clock, using the heat created from focused ultrasound energy to cause collagen rebuilding and cell regrowth. Results include increased elasticity, tightening, and lifting, all without the need for surgery or downtime.

HOW DO PROLIFT HIFU TREATMENTS WORK?

Prolift HIFU Treatments are typically well-tolerated with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Slight redness or swelling may occur but should subside quickly. A light tingling sensation of the treated area may persist for a few weeks. Multiple treatments may be needed for best results with full results typically visible 3 months after the last treatment.
