Is HIFU as effective specifically at age 56 on Asian skin type?? (photos)

Thank you for your question.  Lots of hope were given to those non-invasive technologies but none will truly address the sagging and inferiorly-displaced soft tissues.Composite facelift, high-SMAS, upper lid surgery would be my recommendation.Hope this helps!

Technologies meant to tighten firm the skin using radiofrequency or other electromagnetic energy do nothing of the sort. They do induce some swelling that can make the skin look a little bit firmer but does nothing to remove surplus.

Thank you for your question.The best treatment for you, based on the limited information I could get from the photographs, would be surgical. A Face Lift with Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty would give you the best results. HIFU / Ulthera can be used for Indian Skin but the results are not quite as dramatic as one expects and they are short lived. All The Best !

A good set of photos is needed in order to render the most accurate opinion. However, generally speaking the non-surgical forms of treatment to the  sagging cheeks and neck- are temporary. There is no substitute for the surgical correction of these facial areas. I prefer and recommend that the primary issues be treated surgically first, and then after an appropriate period of time, the non-surgical adjunctive treatments be considered to maintain the surgical corrections.

I don't have any experience with hifu, but I think you would see a reasonable imporvement with ultherea. I agree that a facelift is always the best option, but some patients dont have the time for that recovery. Ulthera is somehting to consider . I would ask the indiviudal physican about their experience and what result you can expect following treatmentall the best
