The ultrasound energy is delivered deep into the dermal and subdermal layers, where it generates controlled thermal coagulation points to trigger a natural healing response in the skin, stimulating the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Collagen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">production<\/span><\/a> of new collagen and elastin fibers for <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.vaestheticsclinic.com.sg\/hifu-beginners-guide\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">skin tightening<\/span><\/a>, lifting, and improved texture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Areas Can HIFU Treats?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIFU is a versatile treatment that includes the face, neck, jawline, forehead, under the eyes, and d\u00e9colletage areas to reduce fine lines &amp; wrinkles, sagging skin and double chin.

A mild warming sensation may occur during the treatment, but it should not be painful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular activities can resume immediately after HIFU treatment.
