In today’s life, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has quickly become the first choice for women to manage their skin due to its excellent results and convenient non-invasive skin rejuvenation solution. Today, HIFU machines are widely used for skin tightening and facial treatments.

What is HIFU treatment?

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep layers of the skin. Unlike laser or radiofrequency devices, HIFU bypasses the surface of the skin and delivers concentrated heat to a specific depth.

How does it work?

Ultrasound: HIFU devices emit high-frequency sound waves (4MHz for HU700) that penetrate the skin without damaging the outer layer.

Thermal energy: The focused energy creates micro-heat zones (up to 2J in intensity) that trigger a natural healing response. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, proteins responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Precision: Advanced HIFU machines like Winkonlaser’s HU700 use multi-line technology to emit 11 lines of focused ultrasound waves simultaneously. This reduces treatment time and improves accuracy.

High-intensity focused ultrasound: The science behind the technology

The power of HIFU lies in its ability to deliver controlled energy to precise depths. 

Cartridge depth: Available from 1.5mm to 16mm, allowing practitioners to tailor treatments to specific areas (e.g., superficial wrinkles vs. deep tissue tightening).

Frequency: Operating at 4MHz, it is best suited to balance penetration depth and energy concentration.

Power output: 800W ensures continuous delivery of energy for effective results.

Multi-dimensional emission: The HU700 is available in 3D (25,000 shots/cartridge), 4D (100,000 shots), and 5D (10,000 shots) configurations, allowing for customizable treatment plans.

Why the HU700 stands out:

Traditional HIFU devices require frequent repositioning, but the HU700’s 11-line emission technology allows for wider coverage in a single pass. This innovative technology is a favorite among doctors and patients because it minimizes discomfort and reduces treatment time by up to 50%.

HIFU Skin Tightening: A Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative

One of the most sought-after benefits of HIFU is its ability to tighten sagging skin without incisions or downtime.

Mechanism of Action:

By targeting the SMAS layer, HIFU triggers collagen remodeling. After 3-6 months, new collagen fibers form, gradually lifting and firming the skin.

Skin laxity (e.g., jowls)

Fine lines and wrinkles

Overall skin texture

Advantages over surgery:

Non-invasive: No anesthesia, scarring or downtime required.

Natural results: Improvements occur gradually, avoiding an “overdone” look.

Long-lasting: Results can last 1-2 years, depending on skin condition and age.

Patient testimonials:

According to feedback from many patients who have experienced our ultrasonic equipment, improvements in the skin can be felt within one day of use, and with continued regular treatment, “smoother skin” can be achieved.

Face HIFU Treatment: Redefining Rejuvenation

HIFU treatment has become the best solution for girls seeking non-surgical face lift. In order to better serve customers, our HIFU machine is equipped with a special handle to meet the treatment of sensitive areas such as the fundus and nasolabial folds.

Treatment Areas:

Forehead and Brow Lift: Reduce horizontal lines and lift sagging brows.

Cheeks and Mid-Face: Combat sagging for a more defined contour.

Jawline and Neck: Tightens sagging skin and reduces the appearance of a “double chin”.

Under Eyes: Smoothes crow’s feet without damaging thin skin.

Procedure Overview:

A treatment typically takes 10-30 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Patients may feel a slight tingling or warmth, but anesthesia is rarely required.

Results begin to be seen in 2-3 weeks and continue to improve for up to 3 years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is HIFU safe?

Yes. HIFU is FDA-approved for skin tightening with minimal side effects (such as temporary redness). The precision of the HU700 reduces the risk of burns or uneven results.

2. How many treatments are needed?

Most patients achieve desired results in 1-2 treatments, with 6 months between treatments.

3. Does it hurt?

Discomfort is mild and is often described as a “warm and tingling” sensation. The HU700’s advanced cooling system improves comfort.

4. Who is the ideal candidate?

Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity. Not recommended for those with severe sagging or certain medical conditions (e.g., open wounds).

5. How long do results last?

Collagen production continues for months, with effects lasting 1–3 years. Maintenance sessions can prolong outcomes.

6. Can HIFU replace a surgical facelift?

While HIFU offers significant lifting, it’s best for early signs of aging. Severe laxity may still require surgery.

7. What areas can HIFU treat?

Face, neck, décolletage, abdomen, thighs, and even vaginal tightening.

8. What’s the difference between HIFU and lasers?

Lasers target surface layers, while HIFU penetrates deeper for structural tightening.

Conclusion

HIFU treatment, particularly with the HU700 5D HIFU Machine, represents the pinnacle of non-invasive cosmetic technology. By harnessing high-intensity focused ultrasound, it offers a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for skin tightening, facial rejuvenation, and body contouring. Whether you’re combating wrinkles or seeking a subtle lift, HIFU therapy empowers you to age gracefully—without going under the knife.
