Attracting attention among people who want to improve sagging skin and a loose face line is a treatment called “HIFU.” Among them, “medical HIFU,” which can be received at medical institutions, is characterized by being able to approach deeper layers at higher output than the HIFU performed at salons. In this section, we first explain the basic mechanism of medical HIFU and then compare it with salon treatment.

Medical HIFU is a treatment that uses a technology called high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver thermal energy to a layer deep in the skin called the SMAS fascia. This SMAS layer is a deep tissue that causes sagging, and has conventionally been considered difficult to lift except by surgical facelift.

In medical HIFU, heat is generated by focusing ultrasound on a single point, and that heat promotes regeneration of collagen and contraction of the fascia. This allows you to aim for a lift-up effect without cutting, achieving natural tightening while keeping downtime to a minimum.

When receiving medical HIFU, not only the treatment content and effect but also ease of access and the character of the area are important factors. Shinsaibashi, Osaka is known as an area where many aesthetic clinics gather, and offers an attractive environment for people interested in aesthetic medicine. In this section, focusing on the convenience unique to the Shinsaibashi area and the abundance of clinic choices, we introduce the concrete benefits of receiving medical HIFU.

When receiving medical HIFU, the choice of clinic greatly affects the result. By finding a reliable facility, safety and satisfaction increase and the effect is more likely to last. Here we explain, from three perspectives, the points to keep in mind when choosing a clinic in Shinsaibashi.

What you should value most in choosing a clinic is the abundance of its medical HIFU treatment record and cases. Clinics with many records have experience handling various skin conditions and age groups, and more accurate treatment can be expected.

At facilities with experienced doctors and staff, counseling beforehand is also carried out carefully, and an appropriate treatment plan suited to your skin condition and wishes is proposed. At clinics that publish cases, you can judge while checking actual treatment results.

For those who want to receive medical HIFU in Shinsaibashi, not only the quality of treatment and ease of visiting but also the performance of the device used and the safety of treatment are important points for judgment. Among the many aesthetic clinics, Cleo Beauty Clinic satisfies these conditions in good balance and has gained support from many people.

At Cleo Beauty Clinic, we have introduced the latest model “ULTRAcel [zíː],” an evolved version of ULTRAcel Q+, as our HIFU device. Compared with the conventional model, this device has been greatly improved in both treatment effect and convenience, achieving higher satisfaction.

A distinctive feature is that it is equipped with an irradiation cartridge developed specifically for the eye area. Because it can precisely address fine lines and sagging in the thin, delicate skin around the eyes, it can handle fine concerns that were difficult in the past. Also, irradiation speed has been greatly improved, and even a full-face 3-pass treatment has been shortened to only about 5 minutes of irradiation time. This is a very reassuring point for those who want to receive treatment efficiently in a busy daily life. We also offer made-to-order HIFU. Four modes — “lifting,” “fat burning,” “brightening,” and “fat increase” — are performed at 400–800 shots tailored to each person. It is recommended for those who want to leave it to the practitioner, and for those who want fat increase because they fear hollow cheeks.

Aesthetic medicine is not only about pursuing visual beauty; ensuring safety is the prerequisite. At Cleo Beauty Clinic, we conduct counseling before treatment carefully and perform treatment after conveying all necessary information. Even for people receiving HIFU for the first time, we resolve anxieties and questions and lead to treatment you are satisfied with.

Also, there are cases where people who have experienced side effects or skin trouble at other clinics come to consult Cleo Beauty Clinic. Given such a background, we hold an even higher awareness of safety, and care is taken in every detail from the devices and treatment procedures used to aftercare. Such efforts have led to the trust of many people as an attitude of sincerely facing aesthetic medicine.

Also, when performing HIFU at our clinic, beyond marking only to avoid irradiating nerves and similar structures, we ask patients at counseling about areas they want to lose volume and, conversely, areas not to irradiate in order to avoid hollow cheeks, and carefully mark according to their wishes.
