It uses focused ultrasound wave to encourage the production of collagen, which results in a firmer skin. It is a very safe and noninvasive procedure for tightening the facial skin with KFDA & ThaiFDA Approved. The ultrasound probe is designed to deliver ultrasound wave to an accurate skin depth, deep down to SMAS layer (same layer as doing plastic surgery face lift). It tightened the skin immediately without damaging the surface of the skin. This gentle form of lifting can be used on the entire face to counteract sagging skin. The following areas are ideal for treatment: the neck region, chin, cheeks and eyebrow area. During a session, an individual area can be treated or all areas can be treated at once.

5. Comparison between Ulthera vs LINNA HIFU vs Very Cheap HIFU

Ulthera is a branded HIFU machine from America but uses the same ultrasound wave length as LINNA HIFU 8D, going deep into SMAS layer. But normally it is quite painful so, it is essential to apply numb cream for 30-40 mins before the procedure. Therefore, takes around 1 hour for the whole procedure. itit will hurt a lot. And it takes a long time. But the advantage of Ulthera is that there will be a screen to indicate the depth of the HIFU shot that penetrate into your skin to in order for the doctor to see and to shoot energy into the SMAS layer more accurately. But in practice, doctors using the Ulthera machine must keep their eyes on the screen for every shot and must adjust the depth by pressing the hand shot by shot, this will take approximately 5-6 seconds per shot to achieve theoretical results. In reality, very few doctors are willing to waste time looking at the screen for every shot as they have to do 600-1000 shots, which takes 60-90 minutes and is painful for the eyes. Therefore, if the doctor is experienced there is no need to look at the screen while doing the procedure. If the doctor performs Ulthera without looking at the screen, it is hardly any different from doing LINNA HIFU 8D, which if comparing the value for money and time, LINNA HIFU will be worth the price, worth the time.

The HIFU 8D machine at LINNA Clinic uses the latest Korean innovation of a less pain HIFU. It uses MMFU (Micro & Macro Focused Ultrasound), that means the doctor can adjust the energy values for both small focus points and a large focus point so that the energy waves can be sent to the skin layers that need to be treated deeply, precisely and more efficiently and more tailor made to personalized the treatment for each patients. In addition, with the latest technology, TDT Technology (Thermal Diffusion Technology) helps deliver energy deeply and precisely into the deep layers of the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue of the skin and making it less pain. Another uniqueness is that it let out the ultrasound wave in Single Dot which other HIFU the wave comes out in Line Dot, making it easier for the doctor to design the lifting effect more accurately and customized lifting procedure according to each individual problem. Also the head of the HIFU is smaller, allowing it to enter the small areas of your face like under eyes and groove cheeks very well.

Talking about other very Cheap HIFU in the market, you have to check the standard of the machine because it the machine does not have FDA Approved it is very likely that the ultrasound wave length may not be stable and it might not go deep to your SMAS layer for lifting effect. This means the result may be hard to see or you may be in more pain that normal or even some bruises on your face.

I have to say first that LINNA HIFU 8D is the latest innovation from Korea. designed to reduce pain It is a MMFU technology and releases single dot energy.And with the latest technology TDT (Thermal Diffusion Technology) helps heat better. and greatly reduced the pain Single Dot shooting allows doctors to design a more accurate treatment, less pain, and takes a short time. Do not apply anesthetic Therefore, the number of shots is completely different from the Macro Focused HIFU group and cannot be compared.

LINNA HIFU 8D is a premium grade machine with Thai and Korean FDA, it is the only machine that has been certified by the Korean Association of Dermatologists. The machine will not meet the standard depending on whether it hurts or doesn’t hurt. But what kind of machine is used, what brand, is it with the FDA? Because many people say that other clinics are also small heads. But why is the price cheaper? Having said that, we should also ask to see the FDA of the machine. Because sometimes the equipment used may not be up to the standard without the FDA. The disadvantages will be on our own faces. So are we willing to trade it for a small amount of savings?

To do HIFU, the doctor will consider case by case how facial problems must be solved. like some of you might Cheek grooves are very deep. From the collapse of the body with increasing age, doing HIFU may not have a clear result. Filler must be injected together with the results to be more obvious.

Disadvantages of non-standard machines

  • Energy points won’t focus, some are hot in the center. Some spots are not hot no consistency result in less results
  • Energy is unstable, some shots are strong, some are light, so doctors don’t use high energy because of the shots. Too strong can burn your skin, swollen your face, and can injure nerves and cause your face to distort. The low power of the medic makes it less painful to shoot. may see some results, but it won’t last long
  • Low-power cycles take longer to fire. But the result is the same or almost no results

Energy adjustment is at the doctor’s discretion. The lifting technique of the doctor is also important. The technique of Dr. Linna Clinic is special. It is called the 8D technique because the HIFU head is a Single Shot type, it will be designed for more accurate treatment. Because we have a lot of cases Doctors know best which type of shot will be most effective with this device. Linna Clinic doctors will design the shot. In the faces of each person are different. because of different problems

Pre-treatment evaluation from a doctor is very important. because some faces have a lot of fat or a very large jaw. HIFU alone may not result as expected. The doctor will recommend doing other procedures together in order to see clear results.
