Does HIFU Remove Facial Fat?

A perfectly sculpted model face is almost everyone’s desire. There are many advanced treatment options nowadays due to the growing cosmetic trend in Pakistan, especially in Islamabad. Despite having a wide variety of options, the most common and effective treatment people of Islamabad choose for their face slimming and contour is high-intensity focused ultrasound or HIFU treatment.

It is an advanced non-invasive facial slimming, skin tightening, and lifting procedure. Many people with excessive stubborn fat question: Does HIFU remove facial fat?

The answer is yes. To know how, read this blog below.

What Is HIFU Treatment?

HIFU is a non-invasive anti-aging treatment that lifts the sagging skin and contours the facial structure so you can look the same age as your heart. 

A HIFU machine using high-intensity ultrasound energy heats up the deep skin layers, which results in activating the collagen production system in the body or face. 

This helps in removing the wrinkles and fine lines, lifting the droopy and saggy skin, and giving you a youthful appearance that too without any surgery.

How Does It Work For Facial Contour?

This treatment involves the use of high-intensity ultrasound energy, which heavy ups the deep into the skin layers without damaging the upper or surrounding skin. 

The heat targets the skin and fat cells, stimulating collagen production and melting away the excessive fat pockets. 

This results in tight and lifted skin and a sculpted facial structure, which gives you a natural contour and an anti-aging effect.

Does HIFU Destroy Facial Fat? 

Yes, it does. Though many people think of it as a skin-tightening treatment, it is widely used to target fat pockets. Unlike lipoplasty, this has no surgery involved, and so there’s no long recovery period or downtime. Thermal waves enter the deep skin layers, destroy and disturb the fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body through its lymphatic system.

This, when done on a face, results in a sculpted and counter appearance, but only a practitioner should carry out the process, as excessive fat loss can result in sunken cheeks.

How Much Fat Reduction to Expect:

HIFU is a fat reduction and anti-aging treatment, and it is not a weight loss procedure, so do not expect that you will have that weight loss effect. It only targets the fat and sculpts the facial structure by removing almost 20 to 40 % of the facial fat in targeted areas like the jawline, cheeks, or double chin.

Face Areas Most Prone to Fat Reduction With HIFU:

• Jawline. 
• Double chin.
• Lower cheeks (jowls).

Who Should Have HIFU?

• Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face or neck.
• Early jowls or sagging jawline.
• Loose skin under the chin.
• Fine lines and early wrinkles.
• Drooping eyebrows or eyelids.
• Post-weight loss skin looseness.
• Patients aged 30 to 60 with good skin elasticity.
• Those seeking non-surgical face lifting.
  Patients unwilling to undergo surgery or downtime.

Who Should Avoid HIFU?

• Very thin faces with low facial fat.
• Severe skin sagging needing a surgical lift.
• Active skin infections or open wounds.
• Cystic acne or severe rosacea in the treatment area.
• Metal implants or pacemakers near the face.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
• History of poor wound healing.
• Unrealistic expectations about results.

Does HIFU Remove Facial Fat Permanently?

Yes, the fat melted and removed from the body through HIFU treatment is permanent, but it does not guarantee that it stops the expansion of existing fat cells. It is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to achieve long-term results.
