We all want to age gracefully, but sometimes we don’t know how. Luckily, there are many options out there that can help us maintain our youthful appearance and avoid the signs of aging. One such option is Thermage which uses radio frequency energy to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles around the face and neck. HiFU Singapore, on the other hand, does not use heat or RF energy in order to produce collagen stimulation.
What is your favorite way to stay looking young?
What is Thermage?
Thermage is the first radiofrequency (RF) device that helps to smooth skin laxity, tighten and contour it for an overall younger-looking appearance. Thermage works on multiple areas such as periorbital wrinkles near your eyes, facial wrinkles around the mouth or jaw area, and body wrinkles like those in a person’s neckline from years of gravity pulling downward.
How does Thermage work?
Thermage works by heating up the treatment area and separating water molecules from collagen fibers. This results in a more youthful, smoother skin with tighter pores thanks to thermal contraction of the fibrous tissue beneath your skin layers. Thermage also delivers customised radiofrequency pulses that target each individual’s needs while cryogen cooling technology cools down any discomfort during treatments for added comfort
There is no recovery time as this procedure does not use any kind of incision or injected product. Instead, Thermage delivers high intensity focused radio frequency energy which heats the skin to a uniform depth without damage to the epidermis (the outermost layer of your skin). This allows for new collagen growth and remodeling.
How is Thermage Different from Other Lasers?
There are many choices when it comes to anti-aging procedures but most of them also take time and do not necessarily result in lasting results. For example, laser resurfacing can be effective at resurfacing scratches but there’s a recovery period typically ranging from 2 weeks up to even year depending on the procedure used. On top of that, laser resurfacing can leave you with scars as deep as 3 levels into your skin! Furthermore, there is evidence that scarring may limit collagen production and the ability to re-tighten your skin.
What is HIFU?
HIFU stands for high intensity focused ultrasound. It is a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure that emits ultrasound energy into superficial, deep dermis and SMAS layer of the skin for an effective triple layer lifting effect on the targeted areas.
HiFU Singapore uses patented technology with high frequency ultrasound to stimulate collagen production and promote blood circulation around your face or neck area to revitalize it from within, as opposed to Laser therapy which tends to focus only on surface level skin problems. HiFu’s benefits include improved hydration and moisture levels directly beneath the skin’s epidermal layers which can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scars, age spots, and stretch marks.
HIFU Face Treatment in Singapore
HIFU procedures have also been known to improve skin tone and texture for a more youthful looking appearance. HIFU technology is rapidly growing as an anti-aging treatment across the world. It is held as a non-invasive alternative to conventional face lift surgery which can be painful, expensive and result in scarring or long recovery periods.
HiFU also has no downtime after the treatments so you could probably even resume your daily activities right afterwards! Results are often observed within 3–6 months of treatment and it can last for up to 2 years depending on individual conditions, age, lifestyle.
Which One Should You Choose?
Both of them are great choices depending on your own unique skin needs. So, it is best to consult with a certified aesthetician or physician first and think about what you want out of this cosmetic procedure. Do you wish to improve the elasticity of your skin? Do you wish to achieve toning and firming as well as wrinkle removal? Or do you just want to remove acne scarring so that they won’t be visible any longer? You should be able to discuss your concerns with your treatment provider before choosing.
