HIFU Vaginal Treatment
The vaginal tightening HIFU system uses non-invasive ultrasonic focusing technique to focus on the mucous membrane and fibrous layer and muscle layer directly. Using high intensity ultrasonic waves as the energy source it penetrates to the required layer of tissue causing micro injury (controlled trauma) and the collagen is reorganized whilst the outer tissue is not damaged. As the tissue heals, it increases the collagen. As the collagen fibers organize and shorten a tightening effect is achieved.
