Collagen plays a pivotal role in the effectiveness of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatments. HIFU technology relies on the ability of focused ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin's surface and target specific tissue layers beneath. Collagen, as the primary structural protein in the skin, provides the framework that supports these treatments. When collagen levels are optimal, the ultrasound energy emitted during HIFU is efficiently absorbed and converted into controlled thermal energy. This heat induces collagen remodeling and production, resulting in skin tightening, firmness, and rejuvenation. Adequate collagen is essential for HIFU to work effectively because it ensures a robust response to the treatment, yielding visible and long-lasting results in skin tightening and overall improvement in skin texture. Therefore, maintaining good collagen levels is crucial to achieving the desired outcomes with HIFU procedures.

We would recommend a combination treatment of radio frequency microneedling (linked to page), and Radiesse biostimulators if you have sun damaged, or aged skin prior to undergoing HIFU for the most optimum results.
