Ultrasound skin tightening treatment in Lahore is performed at our clinic through a HIFU ( high intensity focused ultrasound) machine under the supervision of Dr. Ahmad Chaudhry, a foreign trained & qualified doctor. It is a medical procedure of tightening and rejuvenating the skin. It tends to generate heat in layers of skin, named as dermis and subcutaneous layer which results in synthesis of new collagen layers which are responsible for skin tightening. Collagen and elastin are two proteins which play vital roles in tightening the skin. When collagen is exposed to excessive heat, 60-65ͦC it leads to denaturation. In the presence of hyaluronic acid, expression of these proteins tends to increase. This new technique can be used to lift eyebrows, reverse signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles and lift the tissue in the area of chin and neck. In micro focused skin tightening, ultrasound waves are used for rejuvenating the skin tissues. Higher ultrasound waves give good superfacial results while lower ultrasound waves are good for penetrating in deeper layers of the skin. When these waves are made to fall on skin, they penetrate into the collagen fibers. The sound energy is converted into heat energy due to molecular vibrations. As a result of this heat, the collagen protein is denatured and neocollagenesis, which is the process of synthesis of new collagen protein, starts. The ultrasound waves are absorbed by the intended tissues without causing damage to the surrounding tissues.
Ultrasound skin tightening Lahore – the best clinic
The treatment of high intensity focused ultrasound tightening is known as the HIFU. It had been approved by FDA in 2009 for lifting eyebrow area, however it has now been used on a daily basis to lift the area near the chin and neck, the submental area. The depth of target tissue is set by changing the settings of device.3.0mm is used for deeper penetrations of dermis whereas 4.5mm is used for superficial muscular layer known as superficial muscular aponeurotic system, SMAS. The instrumentation of microfocused ultrasound system for skin tightening consists of a hand piece and monitor. Handpiece is used to transfer energy to the target whereas, monitor is used to visualize the degree of penetration so that damage to bone can be avoided. Skin histology showed the formation of reproducible and consistent injury zones mediated by thermal energy. Average time duration spent to complete this process range from 30 to 90 minute depending upon the experience of the doctor, adherence with the protocols and patient compliance. Before initiating the procedure, the dermatologist applies topical analgesics such as lidocaine to reduce the sensation of pain.

Majority of the patients usually get the desired result by a single procedure though multiple procedures can be performed in order to get the desired laxity and patients’ own response to the ultrasound waves and the normal collagen synthesizing process.
Complications & Side effects
As some degree of risks are always being associated with the medical procedures, HIFU skin tightening also comes up with certain degrees of side effects. These side effects include transient erythema, transient edema, mild bruising, pain and tenderness. People experience redness and a flushed face after the procedure. It usually disappears in a day. Mild to moderate tenderness is also faced by some patients which usually diminishes in a month. Swelling of the skin after treatment is not a common practice, as well as the degree of swelling also differs in different patients. This can be treated with cold compresses, bleeding under the skin can also take place and this issue is resolved in a couple of weeks. Corticosteroids might be used if grooves or scratch like marks are formed on the skin. More serious complications of microfocused ultrasound skin tightening include palpable nodules formed underneath if the procedure is not performed well, areas of the skin rich in nerve impulses can be paralyzed by ultrasound waves which can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications. These complications and risks can be avoided by choosing a well experienced doctor with proper qualification and skills. The cost of this process ranges from 50,000 to 75000 Rs in Lahore Pakistan.
