Doublo: Non-Surgical Facelift Treatment Using HIFU System
by Belle Ong ConsultantDoublo: Non-Surgical Facelift Treatment Using
HIFU System
No one is spared of the aging
process. As we age, we notice that our skin becomes thinner and loose. This is
because the collagen synthesis and number of fibroblast in the skin decrease
over time.
Many years ago before the
introduction of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology for skin
lifting, ablative laser or chemical peel were used but without much success.
How Does HIFU Work?
Using non-surgical method to lift
and tighten sagging skin, HIFU is one of the most effective and popular treatments
for skin lifting in recent years. It does not damage the skin. Instead, it creates
selective thermal coagulative zones by targeting the subcutaneous layer and
Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer to improve skin laxity.
By protecting the skin surface, HIFU
penetrates the deeper SMAS layers to deliver constant temperature of about 60
to 70 degrees Celsius to induce cellular damage in the target area. HIFU works
by generating thermal energy at maximal focal point to target the deep adipose
tissue and muscles.
The treatment kick starts the
process of thermal coagulation to the SMAS, fascia, deep dermis, and subcutaneous
fibrous tissues. The HIFU treatment causes collagen contraction and remodeling
as targeted heat was applied on the skin. Over the next few months after the
treatment, skin tightening occurs gradually and a gradual face lifting effect
can be seen.
Why is Doublo an Effective HIFU System for
Rejuvenation and Lifting the Skin?
Doublo is a 2nd
generation system that is ideal to rejuvenate
the skin and tighten loose skin.
The Doublo machine is a HIFU
skin tightening and skin lifting treatment that uses ultrasonic waves to
lift and tighten the skin non-invasively.
Doublo is unique because it
offers dual layer treatment.
At a depth of 3.0mm,
neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis are activated by inducing thermal effect. It
stimulates collagen remodeling to tighten the skin and treat deep-set wrinkles
and fine lines on the face.
When the treatment at the depth
of 3.0mm is done, the doctor will use another transducer to further reduce the
fat layer and induce contraction of the SMAS layer for a visible lifting and
contouring effect. At 4.5mm, HIFU treatment is able to effectively destroy
subcutaneous fat, which is similar to the liposculpting concept to improve the
outline of the face.
The biggest difference between
HIFU and other laser or light-based therapies is that it is effective for skin
rejuvenation even on dark skin. Patients with dark skin traditionally have
difficulties in undergoing light-based treatments without any side effects. Furthermore,
HIFU has an effect on the muscle, fat, and dermis at the same time, and
well-tolerated by patients.
How Long Does It Take to See Result?
Optimal results are seen about 10
to 13 weeks after the treatment. This because collagen remodeling takes about that
period of time to develop naturally in the body. The dermis will also thicken,
creating a younger-looking, tighter skin by reducing the appearance of deep set
wrinkles on the face.
Only one session is required to
see visible skin lifting and contouring results which can last for up to one
year.
Unlike Sihouette
Soft Thread Lift, HIFU skin lifting treatment does not have immediate,
dramatic results because the treatment stimulates your body to produce collagen
– naturally.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Doublo Skin
Lifting Treatment?
The lifting and tightening result
is more pronounced in older people with moderate skin laxity and fat on the
face.
Doublo skin lifting treatment is
also suitable for people under the age of 40 who wish to take preventive
measures to stimulate collagen production in the skin and strengthen the dermis
to delay the onset of aging.
What Is the Estimated Cost for Doublo HIFU Skin
Lifting Treatment?
The cost of HIFU skin lifting
treatment is about S$2488 for full face.
