With time, everyone is affected by skin ageing - our skin looses elasticity and firmness. Especially after the age of 40, small wrinkles appear, eyelids start to droop. Also big life events may leave marks on our bodies - birth of a baby may leave stretch marks and saggy skin on stomach, fast weight loss may end in loose skin on thighs, stomach or "bat wings” on upper arms. Despite how much we try, not all can be solved by good nutrition and sports activities, therefore our skin needs something more efficient. Luckily, nowadays there are technologies with innovative solutions and there are wide possibilities to get your youth back - besides, surgery or botox aren't always necessary. Instead, you can try something new - HIFU procedure is available for both face and body and it is very effective, it promotes skin regeneration and collagen production in skin.
HIFU (High intensity focused ultrasound) is one of the most modern technologies for skin elasticity improvement and face lift, which achieves an effect that is similar to cosmetic surgery, making the skin look youthful and toned. Besides, this procedure does not leave visible scars and does not require a rehabilitation period. You can have it in your lunch break and go back to work afterwards. 10-20% of the effect of procedure is visible right after it but the full result develops within 3 months. With each day, the condition of your skin improves and the change is clearly visible and causes joy. During the HIFU procedure, ultrasound waves target our deepest skin tissue, therefore boosting collagen production and resulting in skin regeneration. Skin becomes firmer and more youthful, wrinkles are reduced and face oval - significantly improved.
