On the journey of pursuing youth, the power of science and technology is always amazing. In recent years, Hifu technology has received wide attention. It is a high-intensity focussed ultrasound device that can accurately penetrate the skin and achieve deep lifting without damaging the epidermis. In the face of the dazzling equipment and technical parameters on the market, many people will wonder: what is the difference between different probe depths? What kind of experience innovations has the latest technology brought?
1. Know the HIFU: The Art of Precise Thermal Solidification
Before exploring the penetration depth of the probe, we must first understand the working principle of Hifu. The device emits ultrasound from outside the body, accurately focussing on a specific level in the skin, and generating a high temperature of about 65℃-70℃ at the focal point, forming a tiny thermal condensation point.
These dotted thermal solidification areas will activate the trauma repair mechanism of the body, stimulate the immediate contraction and degeneration of collagen, and promote the regeneration of new collagen, so as to achieve immediate tightening and lifting effect and long-term anti-ageing rejuvenation.
2.Core Decryption: Which Layer Do Different Cartridge (1.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.5mm) Target?
Our facial skin has many layers, and the ageing problem of each layer needs to be solved with corresponding tools. Hifu can accurately act on the target level by replacing the treatment head with different focal lengths. The common treatment depths in clinical practice are mainly 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm.
2.1 4.5mm Cartridge: Lifting Master
This is the most core and representative depth of the ultrasonic knife. It directly acts on the SMAS fascial layer, a key structure deep in the skin. The fascia layer is like a net that supports the facial tissue. With age, this net will relax and decrease in elasticity, resulting in facial sagging. Among non-surgical treatments, only the ultrasonic knife can accurately heat to this layer. Through the 4.5mm probe to make an accurate solidification point in the fascia layer, it can produce a contraction effect similar to surgical lifting, lift from the root, and improve the problems of blurred facial contours, apple muscle sliding, and unclear mandibular margin.
2.2 3.0mm Cartridge: Tightening Expert
This depth mainly acts on the subcutaneous fat layer and the deep layer of the dermis. It can accurately heat the subcutaneous fat diaphragm, compact the bloated fat due to relaxation, and promote the contraction and regeneration of collagen in the dermis. The 3.0mm probe is mainly used to solve the problems of facial sagging, large pores and skin elasticity, and plays the role of tightening the skin and modifying the contour.
2.3 1.5mm Cartridge: Shallow Skin Rejuvenation
The shallowest 1.5mm cartridge focusses on the dermis. The dermis is rich in collagen and elastic fibres, which is the key to determining the texture of the skin. With ageing and photoageing, collagen loss in the dermis leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The 1.5mm probe can accurately heat this layer, stimulate the new collagen, effectively improve the small wrinkles around the eyes, around the mouth and other parts, and improve the delicacy and gloss of the skin.
3.Technological Innovation: Proven Performance of the New Generation HIFU
With the iteration of technology, the traditional HIFU has evolved into a more intelligent, comfortable and efficient device. The following are the core advantages of a new generation Hifu combined with the latest MPT technology and other characteristics, which are redefining the anti-ageing experience.
3.1 The Latest MPT Technology: High Efficiency and Comfort
The gap between the energy dots of the traditional Hifu is large, which is easy to cause the treatment area to be not dense enough, and the pain is obvious when the energy is too high. The latest MPT technology realises denseer thermal coagulation dots. This means that under the same energy output, the thermal aggregation dots are more dense and evenly distributed, which can maximise the treatment effect while reducing the discomfort caused by excessive concentration of energy, and truly achieve the coexistence of high efficiency and comfort.
3.2 S-shaped Output: Increase the Speed by 2.5 Times
Traditional equipment usually adopts a straight line or a single dot, which requires the doctor to constantly adjust the angle and position, which takes a long time. The new generation of equipment adopts the unique S-shaped output technology. This is more in line with the facial physiological curve and anatomical structure. The treatment head can be output smoothly and smoothly without repeated pauses and countering like traditional equipment. This not only greatly shortens the treatment time and improves the efficiency to 2.5 times that of the traditional HIFU, but also reduces the tension of beauty seekers during the treatment process.
3.3 Precision Configuration: Ensure Safety and Stability
Multiple handpiece options: With 4 handpieces and 10 treatment heads, it can fully cover various refined needs from sensitive parts around the eyes to body shaping, and truly realise the zoning treatment of the face, neck and body.
High-precision drive chip: Equipped with high-precision drive chip, the accuracy of energy control is improved to 0.01mm, ensuring that every launch accurately falls at the target level. At the same time, the lifespan is more than 8,000 hours, ensuring the long-term stability of the equipment.
Imported ceramic: The core parts are made of imported ceramic, which is extremely stable in performance, wear-resistant and high-temperature, so that the life of the equipment can easily exceed 10,000 hours, providing a solid guarantee for the operation of the institution.
Aviation-grade power supply system: It can monitor and dynamically adjust energy output in real time. This is equivalent to installing an intelligent brain in the equipment. Even in the tissue areas with different impedances, it can ensure constant energy, effectively prevent accidental damage caused by excessive energy or unstable output, and raise safety to aviation level.
FAQ
Q: Does hifu treatment hurt? Do I need anaesthesia?
With the upgrading of technology, the pain has been greatly reduced. In traditional hifu treatment, we may feel great pain. However, the new generation of equipment using the latest MPT technology and precision drive chips has achieved more accurate energy control, avoiding the instantaneous peak of energy. Epidermal anaesthesia is usually carried out before treatment.
Q: How long will it take to see the effect after hifu treatment? How long can it last?
After treatment, you can see the immediate effect, which mainly comes from the immediate contraction of collagen after heating, accounting for about 20%-30%, manifested as a slight firmness of the skin. The real peak effect occurs 3-6 months after treatment, which is the result of the continuous regeneration of new collagen, and the lifting and tightening effect will become more and more obvious. As for the maintenance time, depending on the individual’s age, lifestyle and skin ageing, it can usually be maintained for about 1.5 to 3 years. Because the thermal condensation point generated by the new generation of equipment is more accurate and the damage repair mechanism is more effective, the stability and duration of its effect are also relatively more guaranteed.
