Types of HIFU (High - Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Machines
2024-11-27
There are several types of HIFU (High - Intensity Focused Ultrasound) machines: 1. Body - Contouring HIFU Machines
These are designed mainly for non - invasive body shaping. They focus ultrasound energy on subcutaneous fat layers. The energy causes cavitation and mechanical effects that break down fat cells. This type of HIFU machine is often used to target areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms to reduce fat deposits and contour the body. The treatment can lead to a reduction in the thickness of the fat layer and an improvement in body curves.
2. Facial - Rejuvenation HIFU Machines
Focused on the face and neck area. They work by delivering ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, such as the dermis and SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System). The energy stimulates collagen production and tightening of the skin. It can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lift sagging skin around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline, and give a more youthful and rejuvenated look to the face.
3. Medical - Grade Diagnostic and Therapeutic HIFU Machines
In a medical setting, there are HIFU machines used for diagnostic purposes as well as treatment. For diagnosis, they can provide detailed images of internal organs and tissues by using the reflection of ultrasound waves. For treatment, they can be used to treat certain types of tumors. The high - intensity focused ultrasound can generate heat in the target tissue (such as a tumor), leading to its destruction or ablation while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissues.
