Deep in the skin is the SMAS layer, this is the layer of tissue that a surgeon will physically pull tight in a facelift. Being so deep in the skin it is very difficult to target with non-surgical HIFU treatments - until now! Focus Dual HIFU facelift creates deep focal point heat zones in the SMAS layer where coagulative necrosis takes place. This action kickstarts the production of collagen and elastin which are natural proteins needed for youthful-looking skin. The SMAS layer immediately contracts without causing damage to the surrounding tissue or skin's surface, creating tightening and lifting. As the skin's wound healing response is triggered the skin naturally lifts, firms and tightens over time, seeing continuing improvement over the 12 weeks post HIFU treatment.
