It is an effective treatment to tighten the neck and different parts of the body.
The HIFU uses ultrasound energy focuses deep to the SMAS layer in the face, by increasing the temperature in this level up to 65 degree Celsius it immediately tighten the tissues, also increasing the blood circulation and stimulating cellular generation provides an ongoing and long term result for a tight , firm and lifted skin which is stronger and healthier. The heat delivered by HIFU within the fat tissue will help to reduce the amount of the fat cells without harming the surrounding tissue; the body then naturally processes and permanently removes the destroyed fat tissue.

How does it work?
The HIFU focuses ultrasound energy deep into the SMAS layer in the face. By increasing the temperature in this level to around 65 degree Celsius, it immediately tightens the tissues while also increasing the blood circulation as well as stimulating cellular generation. This results in a tight, firm, and lifted skin which is stronger and healthier. The heat delivered by HIFU within the fat tissue will help to reduce the amount of the fat cells without harming the surrounding tissue. The body then naturally processes and permanently removes the destroyed fat tissue. By dissolving the fat layer, V Max HIFU can also accomplish body reshaping and decrease obesity.
The skin becomes firmer, thus restoring a youthful appearance.
