HiFu

The non invasive, pain free, face lift you’ve been looking for.

About HiFu

HIFU technology is not like lasers, radio frequency, super and other technologies. The HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) steer around the surface of the skin to deliver the precise and fractional of ultrasound energy. The energy stimulates the new collagen to reproduce, which rejuvenates the skin leading to a more youthful and brighter contouring. It is especially suitable for treating sagging skin with reasonable thickness.

HIFU is the facelift you have without surgery – that means no downtime, no needles – and nobody will ever know! Results produce a tighter, brighter, firmer and more lifted face and/or body in just 60-90 minutes. And, better still, the results continue to improve over the next 6 months!

Preparation and Aftercare

Aftercare

After undergoing a HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment, proper aftercare is important to support the healing process and maximize the results. Here are some general guidelines for HIFU aftercare:

Protect your skin from the sun: It is crucial to protect your treated skin from direct sun exposure for at least a week after the procedure. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
Avoid intense heat and saunas: Refrain from exposing your treated skin to excessive heat sources, such as saunas, hot showers, or hot tubs, for at least 48 hours. Heat can potentially cause discomfort or irritation to the treated area.
Gentle cleansing: Cleanse your skin gently using a mild cleanser. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers that may irritate the treated area. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing.
Moisturize regularly: Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a gentle moisturizer. Moisturizing helps maintain the skin’s moisture barrier and promotes healing.
Avoid aggressive skincare products: Avoid using aggressive skincare products, such as those containing strong acids or retinoids, for a few days after the treatment. These products may cause irritation or sensitivity to the treated area.
Follow post-treatment instructions: Your healthcare provider or aesthetician will provide specific post-treatment instructions tailored to your individual needs. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Be patient with results: It’s important to understand that the results of HIFU treatments are not immediate. It may take several weeks or even months for the full effects to become apparent as collagen production is stimulated and the skin undergoes natural rejuvenation. Be patient and allow your skin time to heal and regenerate.

Remember, it’s always best to consult with your skin therapist for personalised aftercare instructions based on your specific treatment and skin condition. They can provide you with the most accurate guidance to ensure a smooth recovery and maximize the benefits of your HIFU treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Who is it for?

We recommend the treatment for anyone experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity.

This treatment is not recommended for people with infections and open skin lesions at the target area, severe or cystic acne, and metallic implants in the treatment area.

How does HiFu work?

HIFU works with an ultrasound penetrating the skin to heat up the muscle tissue, allowing for your body to reproduce collagen and heal the tissue.

Acoustic energy is applied to the area you’d like to improve and tighten, this reaches the subcutaneous layer. As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. There is no downtime after this treatment.

How many sessions do I need?

The number of treatments depends on the degree of skin laxity. We would generally recommend 1-3 treatments depending on the area treated and the results from the last treatment.

How long does it take to see results?

The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan.

A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment on its own takes approximately 30 minutes.

After your HIFU Treatment, you may see some initial effect, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months, as your body naturally regenerates collagen. Since the procedure stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on you. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural ageing process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Amazingly most of the body can be treated. We focus on:
