Down HIFU (Aladdin Original HIFU)

While conventional HIFU mainly approaches sagging and lifting, DownHIFU works on "subcutaneous fat" itself. It delivers energy directly to the volume that causes flabbiness and simultaneously reduces and tightens fat. In particular, the treatment concentrates on areas that affect facial contours, such as under the chin and the maelstrom (high cheeks). It is highly effective in pinpointing areas where fat tends to accumulate and is difficult to improve with other treatments.

The greatest merit of DownHaif is that it can target and approach the fat layer, and thus "clear changes in contour" can be expected, which cannot be obtained by sagging or skin tightening alone. The presence of fat is a major factor behind such problems as a double chin, lack of definition in the face line, and a rounded face due to the thickness of the cheeks.

The depth, range, and power of the irradiation are adjusted by the doctor according to the skin condition and skeletal structure, so the approach is lean, precise, and safe. There is almost no downtime after the procedure, and you can feel the changes in your facial lines without interfering with your daily life.

DownHaif is designed to concentrate irradiation on the fat layer, so the overall treatment time is short and there is almost no downtime. It is designed to lead you to your ideal facial line in stages while maintaining your daily life, so you can continue with ease.

1. counseling and medical examination

First, the doctor will carefully listen to your concerns about your face and the way you have fat. While confirming the thickness of the fat and the difference between right and left sides, we will plan the irradiation area and output. We will design the irradiation without wasting time in order to achieve the ideal result.

2. face washing/cleansing

Makeup and sebum are thoroughly removed to prepare clean skin. If necessary, mark the irradiated area and prepare for precise irradiation.

3. down-haul irradiation

Ultrasonic waves are focused with pinpoint accuracy on areas of fat concern, such as the submental area and the mailer area. The treatment is painless and relaxing. The treatment time varies depending on the area, but it takes about 30 minutes for the entire face.

Aftercare and explanation

After irradiation, the gel will be wiped off, and cooling and moisturizing care will be provided as needed. After that, we will inform you about the post-treatment precautions and schedule.

DownHIFU is a non-invasive HIFU procedure that can pinpoint the fat layer without damaging the skin. As a result, there is very little downtime, such as being able to make up and go out immediately after the procedure. However, since this procedure uses a medical ultrasound device, the following minor adverse reactions may occur in rare cases.

Main possible side effects

• Redness and burning sensation
  The irradiated area may temporarily become red or feel warm, but this usually settles down spontaneously within a few hours to a day.
• Mild swelling
  The thermal stimulation of ultrasound may cause slight edema, which also resolves within a few days in most cases.
• Muscle discomfort and tenderness (rare)
  Heat reaching deep into the fat layer may cause mild discomfort or tenderness after the procedure, but it is not enough to interfere with daily life and usually improves within a week.

To ensure the safety of your treatment

• Pregnant and nursing mothers and those with extremely thin skin are advised to refrain from the procedure.
• If you have had strong adverse reactions to HIFU in the past, please consult us in advance.
• If you experience any abnormalities, please contact us immediately and our doctors will take appropriate action.

Q1: Does DownHaif work with just one treatment?

A. Yes, many people feel changes such as a "clearer facial line" and "less thickness around the mouth" after just one treatment. However, in order to work firmly on the fat layer, it is recommended to continue the treatment at least three times every two weeks. The feature of DownHaif is that you will be able to feel the contour changes step by step.

Q2: Can I put on makeup or wash my face immediately after the procedure?

A. Yes, there is almost no downtime, and makeup, face washing, bathing, etc. can be done on the day of treatment. However, if redness or burning sensation remains, we recommend avoiding friction and strong irritation as much as possible on the day of the procedure, and moisturizing is the main skincare regimen we recommend.

Q3: Who is DownHaif suitable for?

A. This is especially recommended for those for whom general HIFU was not enough, or for those who are concerned about the leanness caused by "fat thickness. It is suitable for those who tend to have fat on the face line, under the chin, and in the mailer area, and who want to "reduce volume, not lift it up".

Q4. How often should I go to the clinic?

A. DownHaif can be performed every two weeks. Although there are individual differences depending on the thickness of the fat and the desired facial line, we offer a series of three consecutive treatments based on the initial treatment every two weeks, followed by maintenance as needed.
