Shifu Plus

Overview

Shifu Plus SHIFU PLUS is a machine made by ITS GROUP in Italy. It is a new technology used for face and body firming. It uses high intensity focused ultrasound with a multi-line system for fast and efficient treatment. SHIFU PLUS is the only technology that can treat the layer which is called SMAS: Superficial Muscle Aponeurotic System. The deep elastin fibres contract and become a real support to the superficial tissues, thus ensuring a lasting and evident lifting effect.

NB: SMAS is a layer of tissue deep within the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is one of the most important support structures for the face. The manipulation of this anatomic structure changes the appearance of the face.

Biological Effects:
Ultrasonic waves which are concentrated in defined areas of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue – create distinct points of thermal coagulation (Thermal Coagulation Points: at different depths). The heat generated by the friction of the molecules in the TCP, reaches 80 Degrees Celsius – starts a subsequent denaturation of collagen in the dermis and in the sub-dermal layers including the SMAS – leading to fragmentation of the collagen cross-linked structure and to the narrowing of the molecule responsible for the immediate lifting that is observed immediately after the treatment.

Indications:
Skin firming and tightening
Face lifting
Pushing up of cheek bones
Re-designing face contours
Barcode and naso-labial wrinkles removal
Crow’s feet removal
Lifting of neck and décolleté
Buttocks lifting
Abdomen firming
Arms firming
Thighs firming

Treatment Benefits

Non-Surgical SMAS Lifting

Shifu Plus has a remarkable ability to reach the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS)—the same layer addressed during surgical facelifts.4 As a result of the concentrated energy being delivered to this deep tissue, a "foundational lift" is created from the inside out, so the skin gets tight without any cuts.5

Precision Facial Contouring and "Push-Up"

The system with multiple lines facilitates redirection of facial characteristics with high precision.6 It is capable to perform the procedures of lifting sagging cheekbones, correcting a round jawline, and even lifting the jowls all at once.7 The outcome is a more pronounced, youthful appearance especially in the form of the "V-shape" contour which is natural and balanced looking.

High-Intensity Wrinkle Eradication

Ultrasound energy heats the deep tissue to $80°\text{C}$ at the point of contact causing a tremendous contraction of the elastin fibers. This is super effective for difficult areas such as "barcode" lip lines, nasolabial folds, and neck laxity. The treatment is able to smooth out deep furrows that traditional facials cannot reach.

Versatile Body Firming and Sculpting

Shifu Plus, apart from its facial applications, is strong enough to handle the problem of body laxity.8 The procedure focuses on the skin layers under the skin in the abdomen, arms, and thighs and on the buttocks to smoothen and even out the skin and pull up the buttocks. This quality renders the device an excellent "all in one" rejuvenator for skin sagging due to loss of body weight or aging.
