HighPro Protocol: The Favorite Ultrasound to Eliminate Sagging and Localized Fat

 

The HighPro Protocol refers to an advanced and combined application of HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology, using both Microfocus and Macrofocus modes in a single session. This non-invasive treatment has become one of the favorites in aesthetic medicine in Spain due to its ability to simultaneously and with high precision attack the main concerns of body and facial aging: sagging (deep dermal tension) and localized fat (volume reduction).

 

1. What is the HIFU Ultrasound and the Action Mechanism?

 

HIFU uses high frequency and high energy ultrasound waves to generate heat at specific points (thermal coagulation points), without damaging the surface of the skin.

 

       Basic Mechanism:  

 

    Focusing: Ultrasound energy is concentrated at a precise focal point (similar to a magnifying glass that concentrates sunlight).

    Thermocoagulation: At this focal point, a temperature of 65°C to 70°C is reached. This controlled heat causes tissue thermocoagulation, which generates a biological repair response.

    Results: Controlled thermal injury results in neocolagegenesis (production of new collagen) and, in fatty tissue, necrosis (destruction) of the adipocyte.

 

2. The HighPro Protocol: Micro and Macro Focused

 

The key to the HighPro Protocol is the ability to change the depth of ultrasound action to treat different layers of fabric depending on the objective. 

 

  Ultrasound Mode Depth of Action (in mm) Therapeutic Objective Main Aesthetic Result

 

    Microfocus (High Frequency) 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm (Dermis and SMAS) Deep Tension and Collagenogenesis. It focuses on the dermal layers and the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurrotic System), the muscular layer that the surgeon uses in surgical lifting. Facial Lifting Effect (facial ovale, eyes) and improves skin quality.  

    Macrofocused (Baja Frequency) 6.0 mm, 9.0 mm and 13.0 mm (Adipose Tissue) Focused Lipolysis. It selectively focuses on the subcutaneous fat layer, destroying adipocytes. Localized fat reduction and body volume (Contour).  

 

       The Synergy of the HighPro Protocol:  

 

The treatment combines both effects:

 

1. Macrofocus mode is used on the abdomen, flanks or jowls to destroy fat. .
2. Immediately afterwards, the Microfocus mode at 4.5 mm and 3.0 mm is used to tighten the skin over the treated area. This prevents post-fat reduction sagging and ensures dermal contraction.

 

3. Detailed Benefits and Application Zones

 

  Benefit Typical Treatment Zones Duration and Recovery

 

    Complete Facial Firming Mandibular arch, jowls, hips, cheekbones (cheek lift). Non-invasive. There may be redness and slight swelling for a few hours.  

    Body Reduction Abdomen (postpartum), flanks, inner part of muscles, arms. The grease eliminated is permanent (effect similar to Criolipolisis).  

    Improves Texture Saggy skin and aging skin and skin recovers density thanks to stimulated collagen. Tensile results are progressive, visible from the 2nd month and maximum after 6 months.  

 

4. Considerations and Security

 

    Pain: The procedure is tolerable, but may cause a sensation of sharpness or deep pinching in focal points. The intensity is adjusted by the doctor.

    Protocol: Unlike many treatments, HIFU may require few sessions (usually only 1 or 2 Macro/Micro sessions per year) to obtain significant lifting and reduction results.

    Medical Supervision: The HighPro Protocol must be carried out by a qualified aesthetic doctor or dermatologist, as the depth of focus and energy control are critical to avoid damage to nerves or vessels.
