How HIFU Body Sculpting Can Help You Achieve A More Youthful Appearance

If you’ve started to notice the signs of ageing making you look more tired — with fine lines and deep wrinkles, a less vibrant appearance or loose and sagging skin — it can make you feel less than your best. Ageing is a natural part of life, and growing older is both a privilege and a sign that you’ve gained wisdom and experience — it’s something to be proud of!

Why do we love a youthful appearance?

The fact is that even if you’re proud of your age, we all want to feel comfortable and confident in our bodies. For many of us, this means achieving a more youthful appearance. Sure, that’s a reflection of wider-held beauty standards, but taking control of your physical appearance can be a powerful tool for your happiness and well-being.
Whether you want to look your best for your personal satisfaction, fight against certain ageism and prejudices in your professional career, or simply like to maintain your appearance for any other reason, you can!
Making the decision to do something about a feature of your physical appearance that bothers you is a way of taking control and exercising bodily autonomy, which can positively impact your mental health and self-image beyond just the physical effects it provides.
Traditionally, surgery was the only route available if you wanted to get a facelift or experience the benefits of skin tightening. This invasive procedure requires considerable downtime for recovery and, as with all surgery, comes with a range of risks. But today, non-surgical facelifts are becoming increasingly popular and can give great results without invasive procedures or lengthy recovery times.
If you’ve ever wondered whether one of these treatments suits you, let us break down how they work, who they’re for and the results you can expect.

What is a non-surgical facelift, and who is it for?

A non-surgical facelift is a new alternative to the traditional surgical method. It was first pioneered in 1916 and used fairly rudimentary methods to lift sagging skin, ‘redrape’ it, and remove the excess skin. This invasive procedure takes significant time to heal and recover from and cannot be performed numerous times as the skin ages and sag.
Non-surgical facelifts at Elite Body Contouring are an alternative that allows you to return to your normal routine immediately. They can stimulate your skin to refresh the cells themselves and target sagging, wrinkles, crow’s feet, fine lines, a loss of the skin’s natural glow and more.

What is HIFU?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, a non-invasive way to create skin tightening on the body and the face. It can tone the skin, target fat on the body, and refresh your face to achieve a more youthful appearance.

How does HIFU work?

As the ultrasound waves penetrate your skin, the energy produced heats skin tissue, damaging the existing skin cells and signalling to the body that it’s time to produce more collagen. Collagen is a type of protein, and it’s the main structural component found in most of our body’s connective tissue and our skin.
Collagen is responsible for making our skin look bouncy, tight, firm and supple. We naturally produce more of it when we are younger, and the production slows as we age. Stimulating collagen production in your body and face is, therefore, a way to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Unlike a traditional facelift that makes incisions and pulls the skin upwards to achieve a ‘lifted’, fresher look, HIFU penetrates the skin to make it look younger from within, all without the need for surgery or incisions. In fact, HIFU may cause some tingling, but it is almost entirely painless.

What are the benefits of getting HIFU treatments?

Aside from giving you a more youthful appearance, a non-surgical facelift can give you a lot of extra benefits, including:

• Rejuvenating the skin’s surface
• Smoothing out lines and providing a skin tightening effect
• Treating oily, dry and combination skin
• Sharpening the jawline
• Targeting specific areas of the face
• Getting long-lasting results with minimal recovery time

No matter what your skin type or the areas of concern you’d like to target, HIFU can provide real, lasting results that address your specific skin concerns.
