hyphenated waveTreatment that tightens tissue with heat from within the skin without damaging the skin surfaceThe face is a very important part of the body. It is expected to be effective against sagging and lifting of the face. First, we will explain the details of the HIF procedure and its treatment effects.
HIF treatment details
Hyf is one of the treatments that can be used to lift and tighten the face, etc. Before June 2024, there were medical hyf and esthetic hyf, but now only doctors can perform this treatment at medical institutions. Medical Hyf, which has significant advantages in terms of power output strength and duration of effect, is characterized by the ease of feeling changes after a single session. In addition, there are three major types as follows.
- DotHaif: Lifting effect can be expected.
- Linear Hypoflatulence: Improvement of sagging in areas with relatively large amounts of fat, such as under the chin and cheeks.
- Shower hyphae: Skin beautifying effects such as mild sagging, skin surface firmness, fine lines and wrinkles, and pore tightening
The hyphae performed at YAYOI CLINIC is a super hyphae that can apply heat evenly to the appropriate position. Since heat is applied only to the necessary layers, it is characterized by its ability to produce high results despite being painless. We will suggest the number of treatments and irradiation method best suited to your concerns, so please consult with us.
Effects of HIF treatment
HIF is a treatment that delivers heat energy to the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Therefore, with Hyf,Expected to improve skin texture, lifting, wrinkle improvement, and shaping effectsIt can also be used to remove melanin, which can also reduce dark spots and dullness. It is also said to reduce dark spots and dullness because of its ability to expel melanin.
How long are the effects of HIF likely to last?
Generally, the effect can be felt after about 1 to 3 months after the treatment, and the duration isAbout 6 months to 1 yearIt is said to be a good idea. However, differences occur depending on the condition of the body, including the skin, the area to be treated, the type of hyphae, the number of shots, and other factors. Therefore, some people may begin to notice wrinkles and sagging within six months, while others may experience lasting effects for a year or more. Differences also arise depending on the treatment, and while it is easy to notice changes immediately after treatment with HIF for tightening and facial miniaturization purposes, there is a tendency to feel the effects fade in a short period of time. However, for lifting and firming that stimulate collagen production, the effects are slow to show but also take time to fade.
Why Hyph is considered a "don't do it".
You may have seen posts about hyphens, such as "they don't work" or "you should stop using them". This is for the following reasons.
Treatment does not match the cause of the treatment and the treatment does not match the cause of the treatment
If the treatment is not appropriate for the cause of the treatment, it may be difficult to obtain the effect of Hyf and the patient may feel that the treatment is "ineffective. For example, if a person who is concerned about sagging is treated with Linear Hyf, but fat is not the cause of the sagging, he or she will tend not to feel the effects of the treatment. This is because the purpose of Linear Hyf is to dissolve and expel fat to improve sagging. Thus, if the cause and the treatment are not suitable, it will be difficult to obtain the effect.
Difficult to realize change
Depending on the procedure and the age of the person being treated, it may be difficult to see the effects of the procedure. In particular, people in their teens and 20s tend to have fewer wrinkles and sagging skin, making before-and-after comparisons difficult.
Also, if you assume that you will see dramatic changes immediately after the treatment, you may be disappointed to find that it did not work. The effects of the HIF are likely to be visible only after about a month has passed since the treatment. To avoid regretting that you should not have undergone the HIF, it is important to understand the time when the power of the HIF will be demonstrated. In addition, it is also important to undergo hyphenation at appropriate treatment intervals in order to realize more effective results.
What is the appropriate treatment interval for HIF treatment?

I will now explain how often the hyphae should be treated.
Typical hyphae intervals are every 3 to 6 months.
The duration of HIF is generally six months to one year. It is said that it is easier to continue to feel the effects of HIF if a second treatment is given before the effects of the procedure are completely gone. Therefore, if you wish to continue receiving treatments, it is recommended that you allow an interval of three to six months as a general guideline. However, the duration of effects may vary depending on age, skin care methods, dietary habits, and other factors. The specific interval between treatments should be decided in consultation with the doctor according to the condition of the skin after the surgery and your own needs.
In addition, too short an interval, such as only a week or so since the last treatment, is too short for the tissues to repair themselves. Therefore,Wait for the cells to recover properly and receive the next treatment.It would be better to
Hyphenation intervals vary for treatment purposes.
The interval between treatments depends on the purpose of the treatment. For example, in the case of HIF for wrinkle improvement, the interval is often set short. On the other hand, for the purpose of tightening and lifting, it tends to be easier to obtain results if the next treatment is performed after about three to six months. However, since there are individual differences, check how the effects appear after the first treatment and consult with the doctor to determine the interval between the second and subsequent treatments.
In general, a linear HIF treatment is not completed in a single session, but is performed once every two weeks for a total of three sessions. In addition, when a patient undergoes HIF for partial body slimming, the patient must visit the clinic once every three to four weeks for gradual irradiation.
Hyphenation intervals vary by model.
There are a variety of HIF models that vary in power output intensity and number of shots. Differences in power output and number of shots also affect the duration of effects, and models with longer-lasting effects generally require longer intervals between treatments.
For example, "Ulthera," which has a high heat value in HIF, is said to be easier to obtain and longer lasting even after a single treatment. Therefore, although there are individual differences, it may be easier to retain or obtain the effect if it is irradiated again every six months to a year. Conversely, "Dabro," which disperses heat energy by delivering ultrasonic waves over a wide area, is said to be less painful and shorter lasting, so it is preferable to irradiate once every three to four months.
Can HIF be used in conjunction with Potenza or Botox, and in what interval and order?

Let's also look at what spacing and sequence might be desirable if you want to use Hyf together with other treatments. Some people may be wondering whether Botox or Potenza can be taken together when they want to have a small face or sagging skin treatment. Potenza and Botox are gaining attention as sagging improvement and skin tightening treatments,Both can be used with HIF.. Note that the appropriate interval varies from clinic to clinic, so be sure to check with your doctor before having the procedure performed.
Spacing and order between hyphens and potenzas
Potenza is a treatment that aims to tighten sagging skin and lift up the skin by applying high-frequency heat energy to the relatively shallow layers from the epidermis to the fat layer. When HIF and Potenza are performed, it works on the deeper layers of the skin.Hyphenation is performed first to lift up the internal tissues, and then Potenza is used to tighten the superficial layers of the skin.is desirable. What is the interval between a hyph treatment and a potenza?Open about 1 monthwould be a good idea.
Spacing and order of hyphae and botox
Botox is one of the procedures that can improve facial features and wrinkles, and when combined with Hyf, it is said to have a synergistic effect. When Botox and HYF are performed at the same time, the order of the procedures should be carefully considered. Botox is sensitive to heat, so if the two procedures are performed on the same day, the order of the two procedures should be carefully selected,It is more effective to implement the hyphen firstThe heat generated during irradiation may cause the drug to be ineffective. This is because if you do hyphenation after Botox injections, you may not get the full effect of the drug due to the heat generated during irradiation.
If you receive Botox injections first, it will take time to take effect, so by the day of the HIF procedureLeave at least two weeks between.Make sure to do so.
Conclusion
The effects of HIF can be retained or enhanced by undergoing treatments at the appropriate frequency. However, the interval between treatments will vary depending on what purpose is being treated and which machine was used to perform the treatment. To ensure the best results, consult with your doctor to determine the type of hyphenation, the purpose of the treatment, and the condition of your skin after the procedure.
