Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

At InCorpore Advanced Aesthetics , you’ll find the most modern, effective, and safe treatments for sagging skin, signs of aging, and localized fat: High-Intensity Micro and Macro-Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) .

We work with the new, advanced Sonofocus technology, the most up-to-date on the market. The evolution of Hi-Pro (Hipro) and Ultraformer.

Our microfocused ultrasound has unlimited shots . In many devices, such as the Ultraformer, clinics need to limit the number of shots because the cost of the equipment is per cartridge or per shot. Therefore, treatment often ends up being limited.

Here at InCorpore Estetica, we don’t work with that limitation. We perform the number of shots that the area actually needs, according to the degree of sagging and the treatment objective. This allows for a more complete protocol and more effective results.

Furthermore, our equipment works at different depths of the skin, even reaching the muscle layer, promoting a lifting effect and also helping to reduce localized fat in the treated area, when that is the goal.

We work with the new, advanced Sonofocus technology, the most up-to-date on the market. It’s an evolution of HiPro and Ultraformer.

This is a non-invasive procedure with visible and progressive results, capable of promoting a natural skin lift, intensely stimulating collagen production, and reducing localized fat deposits, redefining facial and body contours in a harmonious and lasting way — without cuts, needles, or recovery time.

What is Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound . This technology works by using highly concentrated ultrasonic waves that penetrate specific depths of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, heating structures such as the dermis, the muscle fascia (SMAS), and even the fat layer.

This controlled thermal action causes micro-lesions that stimulate cell regeneration, promoting collagen neoformation , muscle fiber contraction , and the breakdown of adipocytes , which are responsible for fat accumulation. Therefore, HIFU delivers a dual action: lifting and lipolysis , making it an excellent alternative for those seeking to improve skin firmness and reshape the body.

How does Micro and Macro-focused technology work?

The treatment uses specific transducers that allow it to work at different depths:

• Microfocused Ultrasound : acts on the more superficial layers of the skin (epidermis and dermis), promoting rejuvenation, improved texture, firmness and radiance of the skin .

• High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound : penetrates deeper layers, such as the muscle fascia (SMAS) and adipose tissue , promoting a lifting effect, contour definition, and reduction of localized fat .

The combination of these depths allows for much more effective and lasting results, acting in a personalized way according to the needs of each treated area.

Indications for HIFU

Micro and Macro-focused Ultrasound is indicated for men and women who wish to treat:

Face and Neck

• Facial sagging

• Wrinkles and expression lines

• Eyebrow loss

• Nasolabial folds (marionette lines)

• Puppet lines

• Double chin and jawline contour

• Neck and décolleté with sagging skin

Body

• Sagging skin on arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

• Reduction of localized fat in areas such as:

  • Double chin

  • Abdomen

  • Sides of the waist (flanks)

  • Back

  • Inner thighs

  • Infraumbilical region (below the navel)

Main Benefits of HIFU Ultrasound

• Natural and progressive lifting effect.

• It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

• Improves skin firmness and texture.

• Redefines facial and body contours.

• Helps reduce localized fat.

• No needles, cuts or surgery.

• Safe treatment approved by Anvisa (Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency).

• No recovery time (immediate return to activities)

• Quick, effective sessions with lasting results.

Visible and Lasting Results

The first effects can be noticed as early as the first few weeks after treatment, with continuous improvement over 30 to 90 days, as new collagen is formed and adipocytes are naturally eliminated by the body.

The duration of the results varies depending on lifestyle and skincare, but they can remain visible for up to 12 to 18 months , with annual maintenance treatments possible as assessed.

How many sessions are needed?

In general, one session already provides significant results , especially in cases of mild to moderate or preventative sagging. In more intense cases, up to three sessions may be indicated, with a 30-day interval between sessions . The ideal frequency is determined on a personalized basis by our team after a clinical evaluation.

Who is not a candidate for HIFU?

Although it is a safe treatment, HIFU is contraindicated for:

• Diabetics

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women

• People with uncontrolled autoimmune diseases

• Patients with pacemakers or metal implants in the treated area.

• Presence of active skin infections or lesions.

What is the difference between the micro and macro-focused ultrasound technologies available on the market, using different devices such as Ultraformer, etc.?

Our microfocused ultrasound has unlimited shots . In many devices, such as the Ultraformer, clinics need to limit the number of shots because the cost of the equipment is per cartridge or per shot. Therefore, treatment often ends up being limited.

Here at InCorpore, we don’t work with that limitation. We perform the number of shots that the area actually needs, according to the degree of sagging and the treatment objective. This allows for a more complete protocol and more effective results.

Furthermore, our equipment works at different depths of the skin, even reaching the muscle layer, promoting a lifting effect and also helping to reduce localized fat in the treated area, when that is the goal.

Base Technology: HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

Both Ultraformer and SonoFocus, as well as other devices, utilize the same technological basis: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), such as IASIS, Hipro, Visage, Ultramed, Ulthera, among others . This technology allows reaching different layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and promoting a lifting effect in a non-invasive, safe, and effective way . 

The biggest difference lies in the application method. While Ultraformer uses robotic application technology, making the treatment much more expensive due to its robotic technology, devices like Sonofocus and Hipro, for example, use mechanical applications, meaning they depend on the applicator (professional) to create the coagulation points. In most cases, being a technique-dependent application, it yields much better results than the robotic method, as the application is more personalized. 

And the results? Is there a difference?

There is no difference in results when it comes to technology. Both devices are effective in treating sagging skin, defining contours, and rejuvenating the skin. However, in most cases, when it comes to a technique-dependent application, the robotic method yields much better results because the application is more personalized. What really makes a difference in the results is:

• The quality of the assessment performed by the professional.

• The customized application plan

• The correct application technique

• The appropriate depth level and number of shots.

• The association with good habits and post-treatment care
