Ultrasound technology uses sound waves to generate images that scan internal body tissues non-invasively, often used for medical studies of unborn babies, abdominal and pelvic organs, heart function, muscles and tendons. Aesthetically speaking, ultrasound has long been recognized as a safe, effective and painless treatment that stimulates deeper muscle layers to tighten facial skin and lift laxity. When treating aesthetic clients using ultrasound therapy, an ultrasound probe transmits sound waves directly into their skin producing images which reveal different layers such as muscle fat bone layers in an image so energy can be precisely directed toward specific parts of their face/body to achieve results for aesthetic use based on these images to produce results as desired by clients ensuring desired results are met.
Microfocused ultrasound is an innovative new therapy for treating facial looseness and skin laxity. The technique works by transmitting high-frequency sound waves to create focused deep tissue heating without disturbing the surface of the skin, leading to remodelling of tissues (fibroblasts and elastin) that tighten up skin layers as well as supporting muscle layers.
MFU treatments use an ultrasound imaging system to locate and target an acoustic target area, then energy is delivered directly into it using one transducer. Furthermore, real-time feedback from tissue monitoring provides vital information to enable practitioners to optimize treatments while minimizing side effects.
This device is safe to use on most skin tones and types, including darker complexions, and can be combined with other treatments for optimal results. After each treatment session, patients may experience mild tenderness or sensitivity for up to 24 hours afterward followed by gradual remodeling and tightening of deeper muscle layers; results become noticeable after approximately three months and continue improving over time.
Microfocused ultrasound can not only lift soft tissues of the neck, chin and brow but can also aid in slimming certain areas by disrupting unwanted fat cells – these ‘disrupted fat cells are gradually broken down by your body and eliminated through natural processes.
Recent clinical research demonstrated that MFU therapy significantly tightened facial and neck skin when compared with its control group, showing significant improvement both rater-blinded evaluations as well as three-dimensional volumetric assessments, along with reduction of jowls.
MFU device can create thermal injury zones at precise depths within the skin’s dermal layer and SMAS while sparing epidermis, prompting body’s natural healing processes and leading to collagen/elastin formation, thus tightening skin over time.
The MFU-V device combines high-resolution ultrasound imaging technology with an ultrasonic probe for direct energy delivery to targeted areas on the face and neck. This combination allows greater accuracy for treating more difficult regions like submental regions.
