For those who are interested in undergoing Ni-Arm Hypofusion in Hiroshima, Japan. This article explains the effects, advantages, and disadvantages of HIFU for the arms. HIFU is a well-known scalpel-free treatment for sagging skin, and is effective not only for the face but also for the arms. Why not try the help of cosmetic medicine for the arms, which are difficult to lose weight even with dieting?
What is HIFU?

Hyphen is a high-density ultrasonic wave that is irradiated onto the skin,Beauty treatment that uses thermal coagulation to achieve a tightening and small face effect.The skin is layered from the top to the dermis and then to the subcutaneous tissue. The skin is layered from the top to the bottom in the order of epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, but the heat energy of the HIF reaches even deeper into the SMAS layer, approaching sagging and wrinkles from the skin's foundation. Because it does not damage the shallow layers of the epidermis to the dermis, it is also known as "Non-ablative Lift-UpIt is also sometimes called "the The treatment uses a special machine to irradiate the targeted position. In the past, some esthetic salons could perform this treatment, but since it requires precise irradiation techniques, from June 2024, only medical institutions such as beauty clinics will be able to perform this treatment.
Why HIFU is effective for losing weight on the arms
Many people may imagine that HIF is used as an anti-aging treatment for the face. However, by replacing the cartridge with a body-specific cartridge, Hyf can be used on the entire body, including the arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Let's take a look at how HIF works on fat on the arms.
Reason 1: To destroy & expel fat cells
Hyf delivers thermal energy not only to the SMAS layer but also to the subcutaneous tissue to destroy fat cells. The ultrasound output from the HIF is focused on a single point, and the focal temperature reaches 60 degrees Celsius. Generally speaking, fat cells are destroyed at 56 degrees Celsius, and the fat destroyed by the HIF melts and turns to mush.Liquefied fat becomes waste and is eliminated from the body in about 4 weeks.The arms will be slimmed. This is the mechanism by which the HIF can slim the arms. Therefore, it will take some time before you can feel that your arms have become thinner after the treatment. In addition, since the area that can be irradiated in a single treatment is limited, it is possible to approach more fat cells by repeating the treatment multiple times.
Reason 2: Because of its skin tightening effect.
The HIF destroys fat cells and at the same time causes thermal damage to tissues containing collagen and esuratin. This causesPromotes wound healing and improves skin elasticity and firmnessWound healing is the process of repairing damaged tissue by the body's own natural self-healing ability. Wound healing is the repair of damaged tissue by the body's natural self-healing ability. In the repair process, collagen and estratin are actively regenerated, which rebuilds the sagging skin from the supporting structure. Wound healing is said to take approximately 4 weeks, and the effect lasts for 3 to 4 months afterwards.
