Hailing from South Korea, who is known for their highly advanced, state of the art skincare technology and treatment, Hironic Doublo Gold HIFU aims to provide patients with safe, comfortable and efficient treatments.
In 2011, Doublo was the pioneer model for HIFU, where clinical cases soar to the millions. Since developing the Doublo Gold, which is the upgraded version of Doublo, its popularity amongst patients and medical professionals has rapidly increased, cementing itself as the ideal skin rejuvenation treatment.
Doublo adds that elusive kick to your skin rejuvenation routine using Gold HIFU’s remarkable and consistent dot quality. Through a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment, 300 shots are delivered every 8 minutes at 2 rows per shot. The Doublo Gold uses ultrasonic energy to help elevate skin laxity in the face and neck. This guarantees patient satisfaction with minimal to no pain while producing high quality results for a more rejuvenated you!
Being the third generation of South Korea’s famed medical-grade HIFU technology, the time needed for a full treatment session is halved, which other treatments cannot compete with. The best part of this treatment is perhaps the minimal to no pain, as compared to Ultherapy, which is also longer in treatment time and typically more expensive.
Lastly, Doublo Gold HIFU is cost-effective, which is sure to make your wallets smile! With the technology being arranged at 2 rows per shot, patients would be receiving maximum effect, in half the time, at a minimal cost.
Unlike most technologies, HIFU’s elusive quality is its ability to penetrate deeply into the skin layers. While RF technology is only able to reach just above the subcutaneous layer, HIFU is able to reach the deeper Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer under the fat.
The heat from the HIFU is required to reach the SMAS layer of our skin which is in between the layer of subcutaneous fat and muscle layer. By using focused ultrasonic heat energy, the collagen is remodelled easily. HIFU energy is the best technology for this treatment as it is able to penetrate into the subcutaneous musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer without any difficulties, unlike many products and technologies in the market.
List of skin layers which HIFU can reach during treatment:
