What is Skin Tightening (HIFU / RF)?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound):

• Uses focused ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin

• Stimulates collagen and elastin production

• Lifts and tightens sagging skin naturally

RF (Radio Frequency) Skin Tightening:

• Uses radiofrequency energy to heat dermal layers

• Promotes collagen remodeling and tissue contraction

• Improves skin firmness and smoothness

Combined Benefits:

• Non-invasive, non-surgical facelift effect

• Stimulates natural collagen production

• Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity

Post-Treatment Care Tips

• Apply moisturizer and sunscreen daily

• Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after treatment

• Drink plenty of water to support skin hydration and collagen formation

• Avoid aggressive exfoliation for a few days
