Nonsurgical Facelift
Our skin loses its elasticity in time, succumbs to gravity and becomes inclined to droop. It is too early for surgery as a treatment option in middle aged people; however, Hifu is a highly successful option for those who are uncomfortable with what’s happening. It is a treatment method for not only the temples, the cheeks and the neck but also the arms and the abdomen.
To give an example, special cartridges of 1.5 mm, 3 mm and 4.5 mm are used on the face. The purpose is to reach each different depth and improve the skin using ultrasound. Hifu (Ulthera) means high-intensity focus ultrasound. By penetrating into the lowest layers of the skin, focus ultrasound improves and tightens the skin. Additionally, it rejuvenates the skin by stimulating the collagen synthesis in the upper and mid layers of the skin.
How is it applied?
Local injections are administered if the area of application is the face; applications for the abdomen and the arms does not require any local anesthetics (application is done with cartridges of 1.5 mm, 3.00 mm and 4.5 mm for the face and a cartridge of 8.0 to 13 mm for other areas).
When does the effect start?
The effect maximizes on day 90.
What is the frequency of application?
Hifu is effective for about two years; and it can be redone every two years if desired.
How is Nonsurgical Facelift performed?
The face is anesthetized with a local anesthetic cream for 15 to 20 minutes. Later, the application starts. Multiple passes of the 2-cm cartridges are applied over the entire area of application. These cartridges have microneedles that create tiny punctures on your face, through which electromagnetic waves are transmitted. The application lasts for approximately 15-20 minutes, after which slight pain can be experienced. The face can become slightly pink, which is normal. This pink appearance starts resolving within about 20-30 minutes. You can return to socialization within the same day after the application. You may experience slight scaling on your face the next day of the application. You may use the cream products or antioxidant serums recommended by your doctor or aesthetician.
When does the effect show?
You will start seeing the effect in about a week. It takes about one to three months after completing all the sessions to see the maximum effect of the application.
What is the frequency of application?
You can get this application done once a year.
Needle Radiofrequency
It is possible to get a renewed skin with Needle Radiofrequency. Consisting of two different systems, this technology aims to restructure the skin. With hybrid energy and fractional cartridge, this technology turns a new page in medical aesthetics. Hybrid energy is a safe application that adds volume to the skin without requiring any recovery process. The purpose of this procedure is to apply electrical micro-ablation and to create a dual effect on both the dermis and the epidermis without creating any side effects or requiring any recovery process. Its benefits include creating a filler effect by increasing dermal volume, creating a minimal facelift effect, providing for a comfortable recovery process, preventing skin aging, and tightening the pores.
Fractional Radiofrequency energy rejuvenates the skin. The microdamage created by the procedure stimulates the natural wound healing mechanism, which then stimulates new collagen production and healthy skin development.
These two applications help the skin look more flawless by resolving the superficial roughness and helping minimize the appearance of blemishes and scars.
Needle Radiofrequency application basically aims to provide for a younger and tighter skin. Furthermore, it tightens the pores and aims to resolve acne blemishes and scars and provides for minimal volume increase.
