What is HIFU?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It’s a cutting-edge aesthetic treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation. Completely non-invasive and safe, HIFU is ideal for achieving a naturally youthful appearance.

How does it work?

HIFU treatment works by targeting different layers of the skin with focused ultrasound energy, ranging from the superficial dermis to the deep subcutaneous fat layer. The ultrasound energy heats up the targeted tissue, causing controlled thermal damage and stimulating the natural healing process of the body. This leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining the skin's firmness and elasticity. The treatment also helps to break down unwanted fat cells and improve blood circulation, enhancing the skin's appearance and texture.

HIFU is performed by a trained professional who uses a handheld device to deliver the ultrasound energy to the desired area. The procedure usually takes between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. There is no downtime after HIFU, and you can resume your normal activities immediately. However, you may experience some mild side effects, such as redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising, which should subside within a few days.

Which areas can be treated?

HIFU is versatile and effective for a range of areas, including:

• Face: Jawline, cheeks, neck, double chin, brow area, and forehead.

• Body: Abdomen, thighs, arms, and knees. Whether you’re looking to contour your face or sculpt your body, HIFU offers tailored solutions for your individual needs.

What results can I expect?

The treatment is non-invasive, non-surgical, and has no downtime. You will notice tighter skin immediately after your first treatment. Results improve gradually and may take up to six months for full effect and can last up to 18 months with proper care and maintenance. However you may need more then one session of HIFU to achieve your desired outcome, especially if you have more severe skin laxity or damage. 360 degree HIFU treatment is a safe and effective alternative to cosmetic surgery, offering a more youthful and sculpted look without the risks and complications.

Who is not suitable for this treatment?

HIFU is not suitable for everyone, and there are some factors that may affect its safety and effectiveness. For example, HIFU is not recommended for people with infections, open wounds, severe acne, or metallic implants in the treatment area. HIFU is also not advised for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of keloid scarring or skin cancer. Before undergoing HIFU, you should consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess your skin condition and medical history, and advise you on the best course of action for your individual needs and goals.
