Objectives: HIFU is generally associated with intense pain with some patients not ready to go for the procedure. Also the conventional HIFU uses cartridges with a fixed and limited life span. We present this new technology in HIFU which is painless and also has an unlimited life span of the hand piece Introduction: Non-invasive body contouring is a rapidly growing field in cosmetic dermatology Many a time the patients are apprehensive about undergoing surgical procedures for facial and body contouring Although the outcome of non surgical contouring cant match the surgical procedures but the lack of downtime and less side effects makes the former the preferred technique for contouring Ultrasound devices for body contouring have been uniquely designed for skin tightening and mild fat reduction using acoustic energy. They are broadly classified into two categories: High-frequency Low-frequency devices Materials / method: In motion HIFU is a new unique non-surgical anti-aging solution with immediate skin tightening and zero downtime ! The energy is delivered to the SMAS layer directly to regenerate collagen. Conventional HIFU uses the stamping mode where 15 to20 shots are delivered in one go, which can be quite painful In-motion HIFU delivers one shot at a time but repetitively with a gap of 0.1 secs between each shot. This makes it a comfortable pain-free treatment. The system has a single hand piece and does not need to change cartridges while targeting different depths in the skin Results: Fixed Applicator ensures No need of Cartridges – no consumables. Hence a better ROI . Better Penetration depth from 1.5mm – 13 mm ensures treatment of both the face & the body areas Conclusion: Non-invasive body contouring is a rapidly growing field in cosmetic dermatology HIFU is a very effective technique for lifting and tightening of the skin of the face and body The unique feature of this technology is that it has the ability to penetrate deep upto the SMAS layer resulting in an impressive tightening and lifting of the skin
