HIFU or High Intensive Focused Ultrasound is a technique that uses ultrasound to affect the epidermis, dermis, subdermal layers and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). The procedure is also performed once and does not require anesthesia and a rehabilitation period, as is the case with surgical operations.

The procedure compares favourably with other cosmetic analogues. In addition to the surface of the skin, the deeper subcutaneous layers of the dermis are also tightened. Such lifting is considered more effective and gives much longer results compared to a conventional facelift.

Most often, SMAS-lifting is performed only 1 time, the effect becomes noticeable 3 months after the procedure and lasts 1.5 - 2 years:

• the contour of the face line becomes firmer;
• there is a tightening of deep layers of soft tissues of the face;
• mimic wrinkles disappear;
• the effects of photoaging are removed;
• deep nasolabial folds are smoothed out and become less noticeable;
• the corners of the mouth, eyebrows and upper eyelids are lifted

Sometime after exposure, facial tissues may ache. Usually, these sensations are not too intense and pass quickly enough. Recommendations for the recovery period after hardware SMAS-lifting:

• avoid a strong and prolonged inclination of the face down during the first days after the procedure;
• avoid hot baths, saunas and solariums until the swelling on the face completely disappears;
• the first days after treatment wash your face with extremely cool water to prevent increased swelling;
• the first month after lifting, you can be in the sun only if you use sunscreen;
• avoid active physical activities and exercises after the procedure for a healing period
