Biotec CFU Èlife
HIFU technology smas lifting machine
Non-surgical aesthetic procedure with remarkable clinical outcomes.
THE MEDICAL PROCEDURE THAT USES HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND WITH AN INNOVATIVE APPLICATION METHOD
The scientific basis from which the CFU Èlife device originates is the HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) technology that has been applied for years to the treatment of tumours, which uses the thermal energy created at precise focal distance by an ultrasound wave transducer. Through this innovative therapeutic approach, it is possible to stimulate the natural cellular mechanism of tissue repair and regeneration.
Compared to traditional HIFU, CFU Èlife drastically reduces the treatment time by using the new EASYFLOW application method and by modulating the ultrasound emission frequency up to 10Hz.
The practitioner has the possibility of personalising the treatment by choosing the most suitable transducer for the depth to be reached, calibrating the power and mode of ultrasound emission appropriately, according to the patient’s characteristics, the area to be treated and the result to be obtained.
CFU® Non-invasive technological innovation
CENTERLESS: SELECTIVE THERMAL EFFECT
The ultrasonic wave emitted by the centerless transducer flows precisely into the point of focus, where it reaches a temperature above 65°C, necessary to promote the contraction of collagen fibres without damaging the skin on the surface.
CFU EASYZOOM
Easy focalization system that concentrates the ultrasonic energy precisely in the skin layer to be treated, at the desired depth, generating a regenerative thermal energy.
EXCLUSIVE DESIGN
The unique ergonomic design of the cartridge makes work easier, allowing wide visibility and accurate precision on the emission zone. The different application modes simplify operation.
EASYFLOW: RAPIDITY OF EMISSION
The EASYFLOW technology emits a succession of focused energy points at high speed and at different frequencies, allowing to speed up the procedure considerably.
ACE® Active Cooling Emission
DYNAMIC COOLING
ACE allows the active circulation of the cooling fluid on the transducer and guarantees its stability and efficiency, safeguarding operation over time.
ZERO HEAT ON THE SURFACE
ACE Technology eliminates the heat effect on the surface by reducing the heat developed by the transducer, increasing the safety of the procedure.
LONG TRANSDUCER LIFESPAN
ACE Technology increases the life of the transducer inside the handpiece, up to 10,000,000 pulses. In addition, it keeps the emission frequency unchanged, guaranteeing its efficiency.
FREQUENCY STABILITY
The frequency variations of the transducer are limited by ACE technology, which protects it from overheating which, otherwise, could generate thermal energy dispersion phenomena, decreasing its efficiency.
ZERO ATTENUATIONS
ACE Technology eliminates the sound wave attenuation phenomenon typical of transducers emitting in a stagnant fluid chamber. The heterogeneity of emission is guaranteed by the absence of air voids and diffused porosities in the emission chamber.
Medical treatment for hyperhidrosis
The medical procedure with high intensity focused ultrasound has proven to be effective and safe for the treatment of hyperhidrosis and osmidrosis.
Focused ultrasound can treat both the eccrine glands, responsible for excessive sweating, and the apocrine glands, responsible for bad smell. The treatment is carried out quickly and painlessly, without the use of toxins, without side effects, obtaining an immediate improvement with lasting results.

Frequently asked questions
How does CFU-Èlife act on the body?
CFU-Èlife uses focused ultrasound technology that concentrates its action deep into the tissue to remodel body contours. This is a non-surgical treatment with no recovery time required. It can be used on multiple areas of the body including the abdomen, buttocks, knees, arms and legs. During the procedure, the fat cells are damaged and their content is dispersed by the vascular system and lymphatic drainage.
Who is the ideal candidate for the CFU-Èlife treatment?
Both women and men with at least 3 cm of fat fold in a certain body area can benefit from the treatment. Patients should have a normal weight condition with a body mass index (BMI) below 30.
What happens to fat cells after treatment with CFU-Èlife?
The fat cells affected give rise to an inflammatory reaction that triggers a healing process. Cells called macrophages remove damaged fat cells and cell debris. Macrophages transport fat through the lymphatic and venous systems to the liver. This process takes about 2 to 4 weeks. The liver treats the fat removed from macrophages just like the fat in food by metabolizing it normally.

The aesthetic treatment
Focused ultrasound, in the aesthetic treatment of facial skin, can be customized according to the needs of each individual, through the setting of the energy and depth of action of the ultrasound emitted. The ultrasound used for the face area emits at a frequency of 4MHz and a focal depth of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5mm.
The depth of action can reach the facial SMAS, the fan-shaped structure that covers the facial muscles and connects the facial muscles with the overlying dermis.
In the aesthetic treatment of adipose tissue to reduce its volume ultrasound emits at a frequency of 2MHz and at different depths, from 6 to 13mm, allowing an excellent remodeling of adipose tissue.

Frequently asked questions
What is the treatment with CFU-Èlife?
CFU-Èlife is a safe and non-invasive method for the treatment of skin ageing and for the reduction of the depth of wrinkles in the face/neck area, as well as for reshaping the body profile.
Can it replace a facelift?
CFU-Èlife works on the deepest layer of skin but cannot replace the results of a face lift. However, it is a valid alternative, especially for those who are not ready for surgery or for patients who are trying to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.
What causes the autologous collagen production process?
The transducer/cartridge used focuses the ultrasound energy deep into the skin at a sufficient temperature for the collagen regeneration process to begin, a natural process known as neocollagenesis. CFU-Èlife does not require the use of substances, creams, fillers or other infiltration products.
How long does a treatment last?
The duration of the treatment depends on the size of the area to be treated and the characteristics of the patient. A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a décolleté treatment lasts about 30 minutes.
Does the treatment require recovery time?
CFU-Èlife does not require recovery time. Immediately after the procedure it is possible to resume normal activities without having to take special precautions.
What do you feel during the treatment?
The levels of tolerability to treatment vary from person to person, but a sensation of slight pain, similar to a puncture, is perceived only when the ultrasound focuses its beam on the point of coagulation.
