HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a non-invasive therapeutic technique used by professionals like Dr. Sabeen Munib to tighten and lift the skin. By targeting deep layers beneath the skin, HIFU stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, rejuvenated skin without the need for surgery.

Who Can Perform HIFU Treatments

HIFU treatments should be performed by trained and licensed medical professionals. Dr. Sabeen Munib, with her expertise in dermatology and cosmetic procedures, is qualified to conduct HIFU treatments, ensuring both safety and effectiveness by utilizing her comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and skin physiology.

Which is Better: HIFU vs. Ultherapy

Both HIFU and Ultherapy use high-intensity focused ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, but they differ in branding and specific clinical applications. The choice between HIFU and Ultherapy depends on individual skin conditions, desired outcomes, and a professional evaluation. Dr. Munib assesses each patient’s needs to recommend the most suitable treatment option.

How Does HIFU Treatment Work

HIFU works by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the skin's deeper layers (specifically the SMAS layer, similar to what is tightened during a surgical facelift), without harming the surface of the skin. This energy heats the targeted tissues, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production process. The result is a tightening and lifting effect on the skin, which becomes more pronounced over time as new collagen is formed. Dr. Sabeen Munib utilizes HIFU to achieve significant anti-aging effects, tailoring the treatment to each patient's specific skin type and aging concerns for optimal results.

Revitalize your skin with Vzet/HIFU, a cutting-edge treatment for lifting and tightening, revealing a youthful complexion.

What to Expect

Vzet and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatments at The Pur Health in Laguna Hills are advanced non-surgical procedures designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. Utilizing ultrasound technology, these treatments target deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and provide a natural lifting effect without downtime.

Preparation

To prepare for a Vzet or HIFU treatment, it’s important to maintain good skin health. Avoid excessive sun exposure and do not apply self-tanners or undergo any invasive procedures on the treatment area for at least two weeks prior. Make sure your skin is clean and free of any products on the day of the treatment. Dr. Sabeen Munib may also advise stopping certain medications or supplements that could increase your risk of bruising.

During the Treatment

During your session, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly to ensure it is free from oils and makeup. Dr. Munib or a skilled technician will then apply a special ultrasound gel. The Vzet or HIFU device is placed against the skin, and high-intensity ultrasound waves are delivered to targeted areas. You might feel brief, intermittent sensations of heat and tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered.

The procedure can last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the area being treated. These treatments are generally well-tolerated, but pain management options, such as topical anesthetics, can be discussed during your consultation.

Post-Treatment Care

Post-treatment, there is minimal to no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities immediately. Some redness or swelling may occur but typically subsides within a few hours. It’s crucial to hydrate well and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure.

The full effects of the treatment develop over the course of 2-3 months as new collagen is formed and the skin begins to tighten. The results are long-lasting, with improvements visible for up to a year or more, depending on the individual’s skin condition and aging process.

For best results, Dr. Munib may recommend a series of treatments spaced several months apart, depending on your skin’s condition and your aesthetic goals. Each treatment plan is tailored to individual needs to ensure optimal results.

Consultation is essential for determining the appropriate parameters and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of your treatment. Dr. Munib and her team at The Pur Health MedSpa will provide detailed guidance and support throughout your Vzet or HIFU treatment journey, ensuring that your experience is comfortable and your results are remarkable.
