This section explains how to choose a clinic to receive hyphenation. Hyphenation can improve sagging skin without damaging the skin surface. When people begin to experience skin problems as they age, the hyphenation treatment is one of the options available to them. In this issue, we have compiled detailed information on the mechanism and effects of HIF as well as the points to consider when choosing a clinic. If you are troubled by skin changes, please check it out.
HIFU, a non-ablative sagging treatment at the clinic
HIF stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. High-density ultrasound is used in HIF. This ultrasound gives heat energy to the subcutaneous tissue and tightens it from the inside without damaging the skin's surface. Since no scalpel is used, there is virtually no downtime. Let's take a closer look at the mechanism and effects of HIF.
Mechanism of clinic hyphenation
The skin is composed of epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat from the outside. The SMAS fascia is the foundation of the skin, and as it loosens with age, it becomes unable to support the skin, causing the face to sag.
The hyphae are thermal energyAdd up to SMAS fascia and contract and tighteneffect. In addition, the process of repairing damage caused by thermal energy is an essential part of the skin'sPromotes production of collagen, elastin, etc.It is also characterized by the fact that it can be done.
Effects that can be expected from the clinic's hyph
The clinic's hyphae can be expected to have many benefits; four main benefits are summarized below.
Lifting effect｜Improvement of sagging lines and facial lines
The first effect that can be expected is the improvement of sagging lines and facial lines. This is due to contraction of the SMAS fascia. The appearance of HIF has increased the number of options for treatment without cutting, whereas previously surgical lifting was required. Therefore, HIF is chosen by those who want to improve sagging skin easily.
Skin tightening and elasticity improvement
Hypofusion treatment contracts the collagen fibers that form the SMAS fascia and tightens the skin. In addition, the process of repairing damage stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, thereby improving skin elasticity. In other words, HIF has the effect of improving skin texture.
Skin elasticity and firmness
The clinic's HIF can also improve wrinkles. This is because the application of thermal energy promotes the production of collagen and elastin. As the amount of collagen and elastin increases, the firmness and elasticity of the skin improves. As a result, it can be expected to eliminate skin problems such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Effects on weight loss｜Able to destroy fat cells
HIF also has the effect of partial weight loss, or dieting. This is because fat cells are destroyed by thermal energy and expelled from the body. Mainly, HIF is chosen when you want to tighten parts that are difficult to lose weight, such as the arms, waist, hip line, and thighs. There is no immediate effect, but you will notice gradual results over a period of one to three months.
Advantages and disadvantages of clinic hyphae
The clinic's HIF treatment uses thermal energy to approach the SMAS fascia, resulting in minimal skin damage and little downtime. Also,Short treatment timeAnother advantage is that the process takes only 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of machine and the area irradiated. Depending on the type of machine and the area to be irradiated, the process takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
On the other hand, some people may experience redness, swelling, andSide effects may occurThese symptoms should not be overly worrisome as they will settle down in a few days.
Points to consider when selecting a clinic to receive HIF
When choosing a clinic to receive medical hyphenation, focus on the type of equipment, price, results and reviews, and atmosphere. From here, we will introduce each of these points in detail.
How to choose a clinic 1] Does it have the right hyphenation equipment for your skin problems?
The effects obtained from HIF vary depending on the type of equipment used. Therefore, choose a clinic that handles the model that best suits your skin concerns. The following table summarizes the main types of equipment and their features.
| Name of equipment | feature |
| Ultra Cell Q Plus | Suitable for improving sagging and lifting facial lines
Shorter treatment time than other devices |
| Ultracell Q Plus Linear | Often used to reduce subcutaneous fat, such as to improve sagging around the face
Long-term effects on fat loss can be expected. |

First, clarify which area and what kind of problem you want to improve, and then look for a clinic using the table as a guide. If you choose a clinic that has the right equipment for your problem from the start, you will be able to treat it before it becomes serious.
At YAYOI CLINIC, we perform Super Hyf, which is different from conventional Hyf. The difference from the existing treatment is that it can irradiate in a linear fashion. Compared to conventional HIF, which irradiates in dots, Super HIF can deliver heat more widely to the tissues. Another feature of Super HIF is that the irradiation density is higher and more solid effects can be expected.
How to choose a clinic 2] Whether you can afford to have a hyphenation at a reasonable price.
The price of the procedure is another important factor in choosing a clinic. The price of hyphae depends on the clinic.Ranges from 2 to 600,000 yen per visit....... Also, even with the same full-face plan, there are cases where the area around the eyes and under the chin are not included in the scope of treatment, so you need to check. Another thing to note is whether the consultation and drug prescription fees are included. If not, you should expect to pay these fees in addition to the treatment fee.
How to choose a clinic 3] What are the case results and word-of-mouth of HIF?
Be sure to check the case histories of HIF cases published on the clinic's website and social networking sites. If you find a case similar to yours,It makes it easier to visualize the finished product.. Choose a clinic that offers high quality hyphenated treatments, using word of mouth as a guide.
How to Choose a Clinic 4] Does the atmosphere suit you?
Whether or not the atmosphere of the clinic suits you is another point to look out for. Will I be able to receive treatment in a relaxed atmosphere?Confirmation in counselingLet's do it. Also, during the consultation, check to see if you and the doctor are compatible. If he or she takes the time to listen intimately to your concerns, and if he or she sincerely explains the risks involved, he or she is likely to be a reliable doctor.
What to expect after receiving medical hyphenation at a clinic
Finally, here are a few things to keep in mind after receiving a HIF. Please use this information for your self-care and subsequent treatment planning.
Moisturize & sun protection
After the procedure, the moisture content of the skin decreases due to the thermal energy. Although this is temporary, the skin is more prone to dryness and damage. Therefore, after receiving the HIF, please moisturize the skin thoroughly with lotion and milky lotion.
It is also advisable not to sunbathe after hyphenation. Exposure to ultraviolet rays when the skin is easily irritated can cause inflammation and hyperpigmentation.Apply sunscreen when going outside for about a month after the surgery.The following is a list of the measures that should be taken to ensure adequate protection.
Receive regular hyphenated treatment at the clinic.
The effects of HIF are said to last up to six months, but it depends on the individual. For those who want to keep their skin in good condition,Recommend treatment every 3-6 months.I will do so.
