Abstract
High intensity microfocussed ultrasound (HIFU) is currently used for skin tightening and recently also for fat reduction. The HIFU uses bundled ultrasound waves that are focussed by a type of concave mirror to bundle thermal energy. The indications for HIFU include, in particular, sagging skin that does not need a plastic surgical operation for tightening. In most cases only one or two treatment sessions are needed. More expensive HIFU treatment can be further optimized by maintenance therapy with radiofrequency (RF). The greatest disadvantage of HIFU is that the treatment is very painful.
