Over the years, collagen and elastin production decreases, resulting in wrinkles and a loss of skin firmness and elasticity. The face and neck are among the areas mainly affected by skin flaccidity, which leads to a loss of definition in the facial contours and is a frequent cause for concern in patients over the age of 40.
This article discusses one of the most effective treatment combinations for stimulating collagen production: HIFU with collagen inducers.
What is HIFU?
HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound, is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound that penetrates to different depths to stimulate collagen production, and by acting on the muscle layer, tightens and firms the tissues from the inside, achieving a non-surgical lifting effect.
What are collagen inducers?
These infiltrated treatments, such as polylactic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite, induce the natural production of collagen. Thanks to their long-term biostimulation properties, they produce collagen that remains even after the product has been reabsorbed. This results in smoother, firmer, more luminous skin, as well as improved definition of the facial oval. This makes it an ideal treatment for patients seeking to treat or prevent skin flaccidity, providing natural and long-lasting results.
Why combine HIFU and collagen inducers?
Although HIFU and collagen inducers are effective treatments in their own right, they complement each other very well. Together, they allow remodelling of the skin from deep to superficial layers. HIFU targets the deeper layers and tightens the tissues, while collagen inducers improve the skin’s quality and elasticity.
What does the combined treatment protocol entail?
HIFU and collagen induction therapy is always carried out on a personalised basis, depending on each patient’s needs. The effects become evident from the second month after treatment and reach maximum effect after six to eight months, lasting for at least a year.
This combination of treatments is an excellent option for combatting sagging skin on the face and neck. It addresses both the firmness of the deep tissues and the quality of the skin without the need for invasive surgery or recovery time.
If you are looking for an effective, non-invasive solution to combat the signs of ageing on your face and neck, consult a qualified physician to find out if this treatment is suitable for you.
