HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) treatments can produce noticeable results for eye rejuvenation, including:

Many notice an immediate lifting effect around the eyes. After one month the effects of skin tightening are already visible, and after 3 months you can observe the full effect.

Yes, combining HIFU and Tixel can be highly effective for eye rejuvenation, as they complement each other well.

How They Work Together for Eye Rejuvenation

• HIFU: Targets deeper layers of the skin around the eyes, helping to lift and tighten the skin. This is useful for addressing sagging or drooping in areas like the upper or lower eyelid and brow area.
• Tixel: Works on the superficial layers of the skin, improving skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles around the eyes. It’s gentle enough for use in delicate areas and helps smooth out crow’s feet, soften under-eye crepiness, and enhance skin quality.

Benefits of Combining HIFU and Tixel

• Comprehensive Rejuvenation: By addressing both deeper and surface-level skin concerns, this combination can result in more noticeable and longer-lasting eye rejuvenation.
• Dual Action on Collagen and Elasticity: HIFU boosts collagen deeper down, while Tixel focuses on the surface, improving elasticity and texture.
• Minimal Downtime with Enhanced Results: Tixel has minimal downtime, and HIFU is non-invasive. Together, they provide a potent combination without significant recovery time.

Treatment Planning: For best results, it’s generally recommended to space treatments a few weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and benefit from each modality. HIFU can be performed first to lift, followed by Tixel after a few weeks to refine texture and tone. Always ensure a customized approach based on skin type, individual needs, and tolerances, as some patients may respond di

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and Tixel are both non-invasive skin treatments but use different technologies and have different effects on the skin.

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

• Technology: Uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the skin layers without damaging the surface. This energy stimulates collagen production by heating tissue in targeted areas.
• Depth: Reaches deeper layers of the skin, targeting the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), which is also addressed in surgical facelifts.
• Primary Use: Effective for skin tightening, lifting, and contouring, particularly on the face, neck, and décolletage.
• Results: Gradual improvement in skin firmness and tightness, typically seen over 2-3 months as new collagen forms.

Tixel

• Technology: Uses thermal energy through a heated metal plate with tiny pyramids that briefly contact the skin, creating micro-channels. It is similar to fractional lasers but without light or radiation.
• Depth: More customizable as it works on more superficial skin layers and can vary in depth, making it suitable for sensitive areas like around the eyes.
• Primary Use: Effective for skin resurfacing, improving skin texture, treating fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation issues. It’s also used for drug delivery by allowing serums or other treatments to penetrate more deeply.
• Results: Visible improvements in skin texture and tone can often be seen more quickly, with minimal downtime.

Summary

• HIFU: Best for deep lifting and firming.
• Tixel: Best for superficial skin resurfacing, eye rejuvenation, texture improvement, and fine lines.

Each can be chosen depending on the patient’s needs—HIFU for tightening and lifting, and Tixel for texture and tone enhancement. They may also be complementary when combined in a treatment plan. The combination of Tixel and HIFU for an eye lift procedure offers a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.

• The degree of heat required for optimal results will probably cause some discomfort as the ultrasound energy is delivered. Your practitioner will advise a plan to optimize your comfort during the procedure. This may include medication to reduce the discomfort.
• Ultraformer treatment is highly efficient. For example, a treatment for the full face and neck will last approximately 45 minutes.
• Because Ultraformer is a non-invasive treatment, you can expect to be able to return to your normal routine right away.

• Your skin may appear red for a few hours after Ultraformer treatment.
• You may experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness for a few days after treatment. Rarely, some patients may experience temporary bruising, welts or numbness.
• There is a slight risk of a burn to the skin, which may or may not lead to scarring. Both a burn and any scarring will respond to medical treatment.
• Temporary nerve inflammation will resolve in a few days or weeks.
• If a motor nerve has become inflamed, you might experience some temporary local muscle weakness. There could be some temporary numbness if a sensory nerve has become inflamed.
However, due to Ultraformer’s precision engineering, it is highly unlikely that either of these complications will occur.
