If you are considering medical HIFU, you may be asking yourself, "How often?" How long will the effects last? "How many times can I have it done?" You may be wondering, "How often do I have to do this? HIFU is a procedure that can approach sagging and fat without cutting by applying high-density thermal energy to the deeper layers of the skin. On the other hand, it is important to perform the treatment at an appropriate frequency in order to get the best results.
This article describes the ideal frequency of medical hyphae treatments, the duration of effectiveness, and tips for increasing effectiveness.
First, a review! How Medical Hyphens Work and What to Expect
The official name for HIF is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. First, let's look at how HIF works and what effects can be expected.
A system that approaches the SMAS fascia and raises it from the foundation.
Deep within the skin is the SMAS fascia, which is the foundation of the skin. SMAS fascia is an important support tissue for the skin and fat layer and is composed of collagen fibers, etc. If this fascia becomes loose or thin with age, it cannot support the skin well, causing the face to lean.
In medical hyphae, use a magnifying glass to collect light,By focusing ultrasonic energy on a single point, heat is delivered with pinpoint accuracy to the SMAS fascia at the targeted depth without damaging the skin surface.。
The medical hyphae approach appears in two stages. First, heat causes the SMAS fascia to contract, leading to a sharp appearance immediately after the procedure. Then, in the process of conditioning the heat-damaged tissue over time, the production of firmness components is stimulated, leading to the expectation of firmer and more elastic skin from the inside out.
■Expected benefits of medical hyphenation
Three main benefits can be expected from the medical hyphae treatment
- Face line tightening
- Approach to leanness
- Increased skin elasticity
First, heat energy reaches the SMAS fascia, which tightens the loose SMAS fascia, and the cheeks and facial lines are refreshed and toned. Also,Lines and sagging around the eyes are also less noticeable.It is.
In addition, the thermal energy works on the fat layer to address areas of facial fat concerns such as double chins and cheek puffiness. Working on excess volume,Aim for a clean, small face impression.The points are characterized by the following features.
In addition, collagen and elastin production is stimulated in the process of regulating heat-damaged tissue. This is because the skin's elasticity is enhanced from within,Expected to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores caused by dryness, and to improve the skin's appearance.Can be done.
Ideal frequency of medical hyphenation and duration of effect
The ideal frequency of HIF treatment and duration of effect will be explained here.
■Recommended frequency is once every 3 to 6 months
Generally, the recommended frequency of hyphae is once every 3 to 6 months for treatments on the face. (Depending on the model, the recommended frequency may be 6 months to 1 year.)
By adhering to this interval after the initial reception, the next step can be taken before the good condition settles in, and the lifted condition can be effectively maintained.
Even with major models such as Hyf's Ulthera, Dablo Gold, and UltraCell Q+, maintenance within this time period is ideal. However, the appropriate interval depends on the following factors
- Models to be used
- Output Strength
- Age and skin condition
- Degree of distress
When do the effects start? When can you feel it and how long does it last?
Some people experience the effects of medical HIF tightening immediately after the treatment due to heat-induced contraction. However, it is the active production of collagen and elastin that causes a full-fledged tightening effect and improvement in skin firmness and elasticity to be felt,Around 1 to 3 months after treatmentIt is considered to be the best time of the year. During this period, you will experience more reliable skin elasticity. Also, the general duration is,3-6 months, 1 year at mostIt is.
The appearance, peak period, and duration of effects vary from person to person and depend on lifestyle habits. In addition, after the procedure, the skin is temporarily prone to dryness. Thorough moisturizing care and UV protection will help maintain the well-toned condition for a long time.
Please note that the HIF approach is not permanent. To keep it in good condition, we recommend regular treatments at the right time before it returns to normal.
Why do we need to keep proper spacing? Why should frequency be observed?
If the proper frequency of medical hyphenation is not followed, not only are certain risks involved, but the desired effect may not be achieved. Finally, we will explain the reasons for observing the proper frequency of treatment with hyphae.
■Is overdoing it counterproductive? The Risks of Too Much in Too Short a Time
Repeating medical hyphae treatments within a short period of time, such as one or two months between treatments, may not only increase the expected effect of the treatment, but may also increase the burden on the skin and have the opposite effect. In particular,Be aware that if a person with little facial fat undergoes frequent hyphenation, the fat may be excessively reduced and the cheeks may appear lumpy.It is. Other symptoms that cannot be ruled out include worsening sagging, temporary dryness that reduces the skin's barrier function, and, in rare cases, numbness.
To avoid these risks, a rest period is necessary to allow the thermally damaged skin cells to fully adjust. Instead of shortening the interval between treatments at your own discretion, be sure to consult with your physician and follow the appropriate interval.
■ Too much interval may reset the effect.
On the other hand, some people on the Internet say that too much hyphae can cause future sagging or cancer. Therefore, one may wonder, "Shouldn't I take longer intervals than the recommended frequency?" You may be thinking, "Shouldn't I take longer intervals than recommended? At this time, there is no medical evidence that links hyphenation to future sagging or the development of cancer.
Because the effects of HIF fade over time, there is a possibility that the tightened foundation may return to its original state if there is too much time between treatments.
If the treatment is done after it is completely ineffective, you start from scratch each time. Therefore,The recommended pace of once every 3 to 6 months is the right timing to efficiently maintain good skin conditionIt can be said that
■ Conclusion.
The recommended frequency and duration of medical hyphae are explained. The key to getting the most out of a HIF is to have an appropriate treatment every 3 to 6 months. On the other hand, the recommended pace varies depending on the individual's skin type, the degree of sagging, and the medical HIF device used.
