What is Hyphen ?

HIFU is an acronym for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.

HIFU uses ultrasonic heat energy to lift the skin, improve wrinkles and sagging, and tighten parts of the body in a short time.
It is a procedure that can be expected to have a lifting effect in a short time. It is attracting attention as a “lift-up that does not require an incision.

　
The specific mechanism of the procedure is that ultrasonic energy is targeted and irradiated to the desired layer of the skin,
The ultrasonic energy is targeted to the target skin layer and irradiated without damaging the surface of the skin or the surrounding tissues, and only strong heat energy is given to the targeted skin layer.

The skin tissue that receives the heat promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which are cosmetic ingredients.
This leads to tighter and more elastic skin at the same time.

At MY Beauty Clinic, we use the new Ultrasonic Hyf machine Ultraformer MPT, which is a new type of medical Hyf machine.

How Hyphen Works

HIFU concentrates ultrasound waves on the subcutaneous tissue and SMAS fascia at a single point.
The SMAS fascia is located deep within the skin, and in the past could only be approached surgically,
With HIF, the SMAS fascia can be irradiated, so a tightening effect can be expected.

The SMAS fascia (the deep part of the skin formed by collagen) is the primary foundation that supports the skin,
The subcutaneous tissue, dermis, and epidermis overlap on top of it.
By tightening and lifting the SMAS fascia, which is the foundation of the skin, this treatment is a fundamental treatment for sagging skin.

In addition to lifting the entire face, it is also effective in treating pores that have opened due to sagging, commonly known as “sagging pores.
We also offer body hyphae.

Improvement Effects of
Hyphen

  • 01

    Lines, marionette lines

    One of the most common problems that are easily seen with aging are laugh lines and marionette lines.
    There are a variety of causes for these lines to become more prominent, but they are often caused by the SMAS fascia becoming loose and unable to support the skin,
    In many cases, this is caused by the sagging of the skin around the cheeks and mouth.

    By tightening the SMAS fascia with HIF, the sagging of the cheeks is improved and the lines of the laugh lines and marionette lines are reduced.
    If the dermal layer is also irradiated in conjunction with the HIF, firmness and elasticity are restored due to the effect of stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in a more youthful appearance,
    This results in a more youthful appearance.

  • 02

    double chin

    Many people may have a complex because of the loss of profile lines and other features caused by meat under the chin.
    The cause is fat buildup on the face line and under the chin due to overeating, swelling, aging, etc.

    HIF can be expected to improve the appearance of a double chin by applying heat energy to destroy dead cells.

  • 03

    flabbiness

    As we age, sagging of the entire face and face line becomes more noticeable.
    By applying heat energy to areas such as the face line, the entire face line is tightened,
    The result is a clean and sharp impression.

Frequency of Receiving
Hyphen

The time it takes for the effect to appear varies from person to person.

The lifting effect of HIF is gradual over time.
Although some patients feel the effect immediately after the treatment, most of them feel the effect around one month after the treatment.
Furthermore, the skin is slowly lifted during this period as cosmetic ingredients are produced inside the skin in approximately 3 months immediately after the treatment.

There is no limit to the duration of the effect of HIF.
Once tightened by HIF, the fascia basically remains tight.
However, the face will gradually sag over time as it ages.
Therefore, there is a possibility that you may feel "sagging again" approximately 3-6 months after the HIF procedure.
HIF treatment process

Differences from other treatment devices

There are a variety of machines available for lifting, tightening, and body contouring treatment equipment,
Each type of machine has different downtime, side effects, and effectiveness.
The major advantage of HIF is that it does not damage the epidermis and there is very little downtime.

Who is recommended to use HIF?

This is the age group that is most likely to experience skin changes.
Data show that 32-35 year olds in particular feel that their skin's elasticity begins to decline.
The time from when they begin to feel that their skin may be sagging to the time when they feel it is serious is only two years.
For this kind of skin deterioration that is difficult to hide with makeup, we recommend medical hyphae, which works directly on the deeper layers of the skin.

How to make it easier to obtain the effect of HIF

Take good care of your skin after the procedure

Immediately after HYFU treatment, the skin's moisture content is temporarily reduced due to the effects of heat energy.

This makes the skin prone to dryness and damage from ultraviolet rays and friction.

Make sure to moisturize with lotion and milky lotion, and don't forget to use sunscreen.

Our clinic also sells cosmetics that can provide moisturizing care, so please feel free to ask our staff.
2. Select the appropriate number of shots
The effect of hyphen treatment also depends on the number of shots.
If the number of shots is too few, the effect will not be sufficient, and conversely, if the number of shots is too many, the damage to the skin will be too great.
The number of shots to be administered will vary depending on which model is used and the condition of the skin of the person receiving the treatment.
Be sure to choose the appropriate number of shots after consulting with the doctor in charge of the treatment.

Also, it is not always good to apply the shots symmetrically.
Since there are very few people with symmetrical faces, we consult with our clinic on the number of shots to apply while looking at the balance of the face.
We will treat the patient based on the objective balance of the face and the areas of concern that the patient is concerned about.

3. Receive treatment at a reliable clinic
The important thing is to receive treatment at a reliable clinic.
The effect of hyphen treatment varies greatly depending on the equipment and irradiation method used.
HYFU is strictly a "medical procedure" and requires the medical knowledge and skills of a doctor, so make sure to receive treatment at a reliable clinic based on a doctor's diagnosis.
Esthetic HYFU in particular has recently been regulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
It is a highly effective treatment, but there is a risk of burns if the practitioner does not have sufficient knowledge and experience.
For this reason, it is important to choose a clinic for treatment, and among clinics, to choose a clinic that you can trust.

How to choose a clinic

When selecting a clinic, we recommend that you check the following items.
Counseling is thorough.
The clinic explains the risks in advance.
Has a large number of case histories of HIF procedures.
Highly rated in reviews and word of mouth by those who have actually undergone the procedure.

Hyphenated pain

Hypothermia is a treatment in which heat is applied to the skin to cause a mild burn.
Medical advances have greatly reduced pain, but it is not completely painless.
Pain tends to be particularly intense when irradiating near the bone.

Some people describe the feeling of pain as a "bone-rattling pain" or "skin-piercing pain.
There are ways to reduce pain by changing "the place and method of application (angle and power intensity) of irradiation" and by using anesthesia.

We use a machine called the Ultraformer MPT.
This is the latest machine, so it is considerably less painful.

Features of Hyphen

  • POINT
    1

    Lifting effect

    Heat is transmitted from the subcutaneous tissue of the skin to the fascia, further enhancing the face lifting effect.
    It is effective in improving facial lines such as sagging under the chin and double chin. One of the causes of a sagging face is the loosening of the “SMAS layer” between the subcutaneous tissue and the facial muscles.
    The SMAS layer, which is responsible for supporting the skin, deteriorates and loosens with age.
    This gradually leads to an inability to support the facial skin, leading to sagging and wrinkles.
    HIF tightens the SMAS layer and improves sagging skin from the inside.
    The improved sagging of the face line will improve the silhouette and give the appearance of a smaller face.

  • POINT
    2

    Beauty Skin Effect

    When the thermal energy of the HIF is applied, collagen fibers contract, which results in a skin tightening effect.
    In addition, tissue exposed to thermal energy attempts to repair damage, and the wound healing process promotes the production of beautiful skin components such as collagen and elastin.
    This effect lasts for several months, so it is expected to improve sagging pores and firmness by increasing the elasticity of the skin, leading to a more even skin tone and texture.

  • POINT
    3

    Improvement of sagging lines, eye area, and eyelids

    It is expected to improve the lines and sagging around the eyes. The main cause of lines is facial sagging.
    HIF energy irradiation contracts the tissue from the dermis to the fascia layer to improve facial sagging and lines.

  • POINT
    4

    Short treatment time

    Irradiation of the entire face takes an average of 40-50 minutes.
    Therefore, it is possible to have a HIF treatment in your daily spare time without any difficulty.

  • POINT
    5

    Leaves no scars

    Because HIF can directly approach the SMAS fascia without using a scalpel or needle, it does not leave even a small scar on the skin surface. At our clinic, the power output and number of shots can be adjusted, making it possible to reduce the burden on the skin and pain.
    Some people will be happy to know that there are few side effects such as redness and swelling, and that it is difficult for people around them to detect that you have undergone the procedure.

  • POINT
    6

    Four different cartridges can be used depending on the problem.

    We use four cartridges for facial hyphae.
    We will change the cartridges and areas to be used while listening to your concerns about your face.
    Many patients have differences between the left and right sides of their faces.
    We will perform a custom-made treatment while looking at the balance between the left and right sides of the face and listening to the patient’s concerns.
