The HIFU system uses the latest technological advancements in thermal energy. Although the HIFU system is focused on the targeted fat area, the skin on the surface is not harmed as fat tissue under the skin is destroyed by thermal energy. The body naturally removes the treated fat cells, resulting in patients having more defined and contoured waistlines.
What is HIFU? It is a type of thermal therapy that functions on the same principle as focusing light on a piece of paper with a magnifying glass to burn it. High temperatures of 65-100oC are applied to the target area to burn the target fat tissue.
HIFU technology or ultrasound energy penetrates through the skin layers and into the targeted fat tissue, destroying targeted subcutaneous fat, delivering results without harming the skin or surrounding tissue. An ideal alternative to liposuction, the fat is permanently destroyed in just a single treatment.
On average, a one-hour treatment can result in a waistline reduction of up to 1 inch (2.5 cm). This is equivalent to approximately one dress or pant size. Usually, results can be seen in 8-12 weeks, which is the length of time the body needs to remove the destroyed fat tissue through its natural processes.
