HIFU: Recently there has been increasing concern about skin sagging and loss of elasticity due to aging. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment is a US FDA approved non-invasive “high-tech” way that improves skin laxity and sagging. HIFU generates ultrasound waves of high intensity which penetrate up to certain depth of the skin and stimulate new collagen formation along with shrinkage of existing once in order to tighten the skin. It is an office procedure without any down-time. Usually two sessions are done 3 months apart. It is excellent for jowls, sagging skin under the chin, sagging skin over the neck and overall facial sagging. There is bearable discomfort during treatment. There are no side effects.

Endymed is committed to providing an outstanding treatment experience, quick, comfortable procedure that needs no downtime, but delivers amazing immediate results that continue to improve for months after the completion of treatment.
Endymed is a US FDA approved device that uses radiofrequency energy which is gently applied through specially designed facial probes. It causes collagen shrinkage leading to immediate skin tightening to some extent but the maximum result is visible after 3 months because it takes 3 months for new collagen formation.
