Are you in the market looking forward a non-invasive treatment for reducing your fat and improve your body contour? High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Fat Removal is an alternative use for a non-invasive tumor’s therapy on various organs. So far, it has been successfully used for more than 50 years. More recently, it has been assessed as as approach for selected elimination of adipose cells in targeted areas.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) works by melting subcutaneous adipose tissue. It creates vibrations on a molecular level, which in turn raises the local tissue’s temperature and quickly causes the death of the cells. The multiple studies that have endorsed HIFU’s efficacy and safety have repeatedly shown reduction in flanks and abdomen circumference. After a single treatment session, these studies showed more than 2 cm in abdominal circumference reduction. Bruising, edema, and tenderness are some of transient adverse events. Hence, HIFU is being used more and more for fat reduction over time.
The sound waves focused high-intensity ultrasound is currently being thoroughly studied for fat reduction by causing fat cells destruction and leakage. Just like other non-invasive fat reduction treatments, the ultrasound is targeted to penetrate through the sub-cutaneous layer skin without damaging surrounding tissues or skin. And since it will not use extreme temperatures, the ultrasound works by mechanically destroying the fat cells gradually.
This ultrasound technique is one of the future options for those people interested in non-invasive body contouring, even if it is not yet FDA approved for fat removal.
Fat cells can be permanently eradicated by using the precision of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) that uses thermal heat. This effective kind of thermal power reaches the most problematic areas of fat tissue’s subcutaneous skin level.
HIFU for Fat Reduction
In this non-invasive and speedy therapy, you can feel a prickly sensation, when the beam of high-intensity ultrasound energy is aimed at the fat’s region.
Protecting the skin surface from traumas or burns, the ultrasound power is focused from 7 mm to 13 mm below the external level of the skin, avoiding unwanted skin damages. Thereafter, the body’s natural healing ability kicks in. First, macrophages will surround the damaged fat cells and move it to the liver which will break it down and dispose naturally……forever. Areas where fat can be removed includes inner and back of thighs, hips, arms and abdomen.
HIFU for Body Firming
HIFU can also be used to treat sagging skin, as well as to tighten loose skin, while using it to effectively get rid of local fat cells and also contouring and shaping your body.
This ultrasound energy penetrates through the epidermis and dermis stratum. The HIFU focuses to heat up the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS), which is the connective tissue and muscles layer’s full of collagen. There is an increased production of collagen when the SMAS’s soft tissue is heated up. This is the process through which the saggy and loose skin will firm up. In order to activate collagen production, this therapy targets precise skin depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm.
This is a non-surgical and speedy treatment that does not alter nor disturb the external layer of the skin. You can also use HIFU to treat face and neck areas that are affected by sagging skin, as well as arms, hips, back of thighs, inner thighs or abdomen.
and neck areas that are affected by sagging skin, as well as arms, hips, back of thighs, inner thighs or abdomen.
The High Intensity Focused Ultrasound body liposis destroys permanently fat cells without affecting your skin’s surface. This is a unique procedure because it combines it with a skin tightening therapy.
This treatment is suitable for women and for men as well. The High Intensity Focused Ultrasound target and heat fat cells work through the skin and permanently destroy these cells beneath the surface.
Fat Removal Process using HIFU
HIFU is one the many non-invasive fat removal procedures. The HIFU energy passes through the skin like the energy passes through a magnifying glass. Then, the High Intensity Ultrasound energy destroys the target fat beneath the surface of the skin, for once and for all.
In a period of a few weeks or even just some months, your body will naturally expel the destroyed fat. The fat from the burst cells will be drained through your liver via your circulatory and lymphatic system. As a result, you will get a more elegant waistline, more contoured and thinner profile, with a tighter skin where you choose to treat.
How Long It Takes to Recover from HIFU Fat Removal
One of the best things about High Intensity Focused Ultrasound therapy is that you can return to your daily routine immediately after this treatment.
You will start seeing the results from 4 to 12 weeks. This is the time required for your body to naturally eliminate and expel the fat in the area or areas you have chosen to treat.
It is also good to know that, similarly to the HIFU face treatment, you will notice the full effects from a single therapy in up to 9 months.
Simple, 100% safe, non-surgical, non-invasive!
The High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is the only FDA approved, non-invasive, non-surgical therapy that has clinical studies proving it is safe with more than 450.000 treatments worldwide. The tissue and the skin areas around the treatment areas are not damaged by this ultrasound therapy that destroys the targeted abdominal fat. Some pricking, pain, warmth, discomfort, tingling or cold can be felt by some patients during the HIFU treatment.
After the HIFU therapy, temporary redness, discomfort or swelling can be experimented by some clients, but these are temporary effects that certainly will disappear after a while.
Finally, it is generally safe to employ HIFU to remove body fat as it uses the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This does not involve any foreign material or invasive method that will make you uncomfortable. So if you are not too hardcore, then it is good to start with HIFU.
