Like magnifying glasses focus sunlight rays onto specific tissue points, HIFU uses ultrasound energy to non-invasively target specific points on target tissues without harming adjacent areas. High intensity focused US waves target their heat directly at their desired targets without causing collateral damage in intervening tissues.
The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your unique needs and circumstances. Major life events like job changes, relationship challenges or financial concerns could require you to reevaluate how often therapy sessions should occur.
Increases Oxygen to the Skin
HIFU therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment using ultrasound waves to deliver energy directly into the body without damaging nearby tissues and skin. This therapy focuses on targeting specific regions within tissue such as tumors or cysts to cause biological reactions without harming surrounding areas or organs; much like when children used magnifying glasses to focus sunrays into sparking fires as children experimented.
High frequency facial machines feature smooth tempered glass electrodes filled with oxygen-rich gases called inert gases that have excellent oxygenating properties. When placed against the skin, an electrode emits a gentle electrical current to create enriched oxygen molecules which penetrate deep into skin layers to kill acne-causing bacteria and soothe inflammation while simultaneously stimulating collagen and elastin production for noticeable softening effects.
A session is generally painless, though you may notice a tingling sensation as the electrode moves across the face. To maximize results from treatment it is wise to avoid applying any heavy creams or lotions prior to receiving treatment and also remove metal jewelry such as piercings as their energy can heat these areas up quickly.
HIFU can provide an effective alternative to surgical plastic surgery procedures, chemical peels and Collagen/Botox injections. Though results don’t appear immediately, a series of 3-6 treatments is generally required to achieve maximum effectiveness. It can reduce puffy eyes, tighten skin, lift eyebrows and improve skin tone – not to mention inflammation reduction, removal of fibroid cysts from lymphedema cysts as well as shrink enlarged pores and treating scarring/stretch marks while preventing wrinkles!
Reduces Puffy Eyes
Fluid buildup in and around your eyes can create puffiness. By stimulating lymphatic fluid flow and increasing blood flow, high frequency can help decrease edema while firming skin by tightening fine lines and wrinkles for an instant facial lift. The mild warmth created by electrical currents also gives an instant facial lift!
HFES is an attractive treatment option for pain modulation at kilohertz frequencies because it inhibits multiple proinflammatory mediators with specific downstream pathophysiologic effects, such as CGRP, substance P and HMGB1 (De Matteis et al. 2020). Furthermore, studies have demonstrated its efficacy against neuroinflammation caused by peripheral nerve injury in the CCI model of chronic pain with significantly fewer side effects than chronic pharmacological treatments (Lin et al. 2021).
Ultra high frequency therapy offers numerous advantages to anyone looking for non-invasive alternatives to facelift surgery, from facials and non-invasive facelifts, to non-invasive anti-ageing. It’s safe and provides results without downtime or pain associated with surgery – something our Eugene medical spa directly oversees by plastic surgeon Dr. Kiya Movassaghi so you can be assured your experience will be positive!

Reduces Inflammation
As with the classic childhood trick of using magnifying glasses to concentrate sunlight into magnified sunrays and start fires, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy uses ultrasonic waves to precisely target areas of tissue without harming intervening tissues. US waves travel through layers of tissue until reaching their target where they create thermal lesions which can then be destroyed or altered without surgery or needles.
Reflected energy from the target tissue can induce an immune response in nearby tissues that helps destroy cancer cells, reduce inflammation and facilitate healing. HIFU can also deliver anti-inflammatories to ease pain after surgery or injury.
High frequency treatments use energy to stimulate circulation, helping improve skin tone and elasticity while decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. They may also alleviate fluid build-up under the eyes that leads to puffy eyes; finally, these treatments help refine skin texture while tightening pores resulting in an overall more youthful look.
Our lymphatic system is an intricate network of small vessels and nodes that transport fluids and proteins from body tissue back into our circulatory system, returning fluids back into circulation. If this network becomes compromised or blocked, chronic, debilitating swelling in arms, legs, hands, feet, trunk, genitalia and neck can occur resulting in chronic debilitation. Lymphatic Venous Anastomis (LVA) is a surgical process which redirects lymphatic fluid away from impaired or blocked areas and directly into bloodstream. Researchers are investigating HIFU as an adjunct therapy to LVA in order to increase success rate of operation by speeding lymph drainage process faster and decreasing post-surgical swelling/bruising.
Lifts Eyebrows
An unsightly sagging brow or heavy, hooded eyebrows can leave you looking tired and angry, but don’t go under the knife just yet if this describes your appearance. An RF eyebrow lift is a noninvasive solution which delivers powerful results by lifting and smoothing skin around the eyes for a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
RF technology provides a more gentle alternative to surgical brow lifts by harnessing energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. Similar to giving your body a workout, consistent treatments may lead to long-term benefits for permanent lifting and tightening effects.
RF energy’s pulsating oxygenation action also assists with decongesting puffy eyes and diminishing dark under eye circles by increasing circulation to dilute pooled fluid and reduce puffiness. Furthermore, this may boost current under eye products by helping them penetrate skin more easily.
As we age, the muscles beneath our brow and skin tone weaken, leading to its downward sliding and lines appearing across our face. Botox is an effective nonsurgical treatment option to soften forehead lines, soften frown lines and lift eyebrows for a refreshed, natural-looking rejuvenation effect. However, as any noninvasive procedure it should only be administered correctly by licensed aesthetic dermatological clinics such as LaserAway for optimal results.
Selecting a provider who understands the muscles that control brow and facial structure will help ensure you will get natural-looking results from brow lifting surgery. Experienced providers can give subtle yet effective brow lifts that enhance any other facial cosmetic work you are having done and can give an effective brow lift that complements facial features while complementing other cosmetic work performed on you.
Improves Skin Tone
High frequency treatments offer one of the best ways to achieve a glowing and healthier complexion, whether that means brightening, smoothening or just toning skin. Non-invasive, safe and painless procedures increase oxygen to cells while clearing away toxins from the body – not only that, they tighten and tone skin as well as reduce puffy eyes, increase lymph flow, lift eyebrows and improve fine lines and wrinkles!
HIFU (High-intensity focused ultrasound) is an ultrasonic technology that uses ultrasonic waves to deliver energy directly into tissue in order to raise its temperature and activate other biological interactions in an entirely noninvasive manner. It works similarly to how sunlight can be focused onto small areas of land to start fires – the latter method provides for immediate results!
Clinical study participants underwent 3-months of monopolar radiofrequency treatment (6 sessions at 2-week intervals). Punch biopsies (3 mm) were collected from periorbital and nasolabial areas of their faces before, during, and three months post treatment, showing clear improvement of skin tightening, rhytides, as well as histopathological changes in collagen content and synthesis.
Results were evaluated by two doctors and by a volunteer on a scale from zero to five (5 being no change, 1 mild change, 2 moderate changes and 3 good). Both doctor evaluations and volunteer satisfaction ratings improved with treatment, which was statistically significant using KH2 analysis. Hematoxylin-eosine staining of the epidermis showed increased proliferation of cells at both the end of treatment and 3 months posttreatment which indicated monopolar RF’s ability to contract and remodel collagen, thus tightening of skin tightening effects on skin tightening.
