Ultherapy, thermage, and hifu are all the most popular non-invasive lifting technologies today. So which of these 3 technologies should you choose? Find out through this article, ladies!
1. What’s Thermage About?
Skin rejuvenation using Thermage technology has been one of the leading methods when it comes to skin regeneration. It is a method that can help people “return old age”. So what is skin rejuvenation using Thermage technology? To understand better, readers are invited to refer to the following content of Lux.
During its initial launch, skin rejuvenation using Thermage technology was considered a leading non-invasive skin beautification method originating from the beauty powerhouse – America. Its outstanding ability that cannot be ignored is to erase lines and wrinkles, lift, firm and rejuvenate the affected skin area… The special advantage of this beauty method is that it is benign and suitable for all skin types. almost all skin types, providing immediate results after treatment. Those are problems that rarely any technology can satisfy.
Skin rejuvenation with Thermage technology has successfully applied a unique type of transmitter specifically made with high technology, which can emit CRF waves – monopolar capacitive radio frequency. Especially during contact with the skin, it will not cause any damage because liquefied gas technology – cryogen is applied throughout the time the CRF pulse is horizontal.
2. How Does Thermage Improve Aging Skin?
Thermage FLX emits monopolar RF waves, heating the dermis and connective tissue at a temperature of 40-45°C. When heated, the protein structure will strengthen old collagen fibers immediately, making the skin less wrinkled and firmer. Then, the heat from the RF waves will stimulate fibroblasts to increase collagen production over the next 2 – 6 months. During the procedure, the thermal pulse cooling system (Comfort Pulse Technology – CPT) helps cool the epidermis, bringing a comfortable feeling to customers during the procedure.
Unlike other skin-lifting machines that must be performed based on the doctor’s experience, Thermage FLx has an automatic AccuREP™ system that accurately measures the aging level of each skin area and adjusts the energy level and depth. suitable impact
* Some common side effects
- Red skin
- Slight swelling
- Slight stinging
- Temporary numbness
3. What’s Ultherapy About?
As a painless, non-invasive, no-downtime lifting and rejuvenation technology with just one treatment, Ultherapy is honored to be certified for its effectiveness in rejuvenation treatment, jaw slimming, face lifting, and skin tightening. ,… of the US FDA. This is a superior method of lifting and regenerating skin through the application of micro-focused ultrasound waves to the dermis.
Ultherapy with micro-focused S waves penetrates the surface of the skin, injecting energy to a depth of 4.5 mm (equivalent to the depth of skin tightening surgery), creating stable heat (60 -70°C), this is a heat range that has been proven to be sufficient in regenerating collagen components, thereby stimulating the creation of collagen and elastin under the skin.
Ultherapy achieves maximum precision by both displaying the structure of the skin and also displaying the path of the impact energy. With the superiority of temperature and the ability to reach ideal depth, this technology strongly impacts the natural mechanism of elastin and collagen production, thereby quickly erasing wrinkles and overcoming the problem of loose skin. Smoothes the skin, lifts the face,… This effect can be maintained for up to >2 years.

4. How Does Ultherapy Improve Aging Skin?
Unlike lasers and electromagnetic waves, which affect the skin from the outside in, Ultherapy technology has the ability to act from the inside out, helping to lift muscles, remove wrinkles and tighten the skin, without the need for surgery. Ultherapy penetrates straight through the surface of the skin, delivering energy to an ideal depth of 4.5 mm – equivalent to the depth of skin lift surgery.
Wave energy strongly stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration. Immediately after treatment, you can see clear results. After 2-3 months, the facial contours are most clearly improved. Thanks to the ability to increase new collagen, the effect can last up to years, depending on post-treatment skin care, age and aging status of each individual.
* Some common side effects
- Skin redness
- Swelling
- Pain or discomfort
- Mild bruising
5. What’s HIFU About?
What is HIFU? HIFU is the abbreviation for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. This is a new beauty technology that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves to penetrate deep into the internal tissues and muscles. From there, it brings about the effect of lifting and tightening the skin, helping to rejuvenate the skin, limit wrinkles and prevent sagging of the skin.
HIFU focused ultrasound waves with temperatures from 60 – 70 degrees Celsius help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. These ultrasound waves help restore broken skin bonds, making the skin firmer and bringing elasticity to the skin. HIFU technology is effective in treating many skin areas on the body such as the face, neck, arms, buttocks, thighs, and abdomen.
6. How Does HIFU Improve Aging Skin?
HIFU lifting is effective for both the face and neck areas. This new generation beauty technology will help plump and firm the skin as well as reduce wrinkles and pores. In addition, HIFU technology also helps shape the eye shape such as shaping V-line, reducing double chin, lowering cheekbones, helping to improve skin color, making the skin smooth and shiny from the outside.
What is the effectiveness of HIFU lifting treatment? Thanks to the powerful mechanism of high-intensity focused ultrasound waves, HIFU lifting technology has the following effects to rejuvenate facial skin. Hifu skin rejuvenation technology has effects such as:
- Rejuvenate skin deep from within
- Makes skin smooth
- Lift and slim the face
- Erases signs of aging and effectively restores skin damage
*Some common side effects
- Red and burning skin
- Slightly swollen
- Peeling and dry skin
