FAQ:

How Does HIFU Therapy Stimulate Collagen Production?

HIFU treatments can help stimulate tissue rejuvenation and collagen production- leading to the tightening and lifting of saggy skin. Skilled practitioners can produce results like facial sculpting but without surgery. As a rejuvenating skin procedure, HIFU can help lift and tighten the neck, chin, and brow and improve lines and wrinkles on the chest. Collagen production is expected to reach its optimum level in two to three months. At this point, patients can see their facial skin looking younger, healthier, softer, and supple.

How is HIFU Therapy Different to Laser Procedures?

HIFU therapy uses sound waves to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin. This results in a significant lift of the skin over a period of 2-3 months. Lasers, on the other hand, rely on light energy and can only treat superficial skin layers.

Can HIFU Replace a Face Lift Procedure?

HIFU therapy is an effective alternative to cosmetic surgery, especially for patients who are not ready for surgery or who want to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery. HIFU therapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery but will not duplicate the results of a facelift.

How Many HIFU Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments a client needs usually falls between one and three, although this can differ depending on factors such as the looseness of their skin, how their body responds to ultrasound energy, and how quickly they produce collagen. Some people may need more than the average number of treatments in order to see results. Since skin ages over time, periodic touch-up treatments can help a person keep up with the natural aging process.

Is HIFU Safe?

The HIFU procedure is a safe and effective treatment option that has been used in over 250,000 cases worldwide. Ultrasound energy, which is the basis for the HIFU procedure, has been safely used in the medical field for over 50 years.

AFTERCARE:

Bruising, swelling and tenderness are common in the treated area. Bruising may not be evident for several days and often appears greenish when it does become visible. The most common areas for bruising are along the jawline and cheekbone. Even without bruising, the area may be tender to the touch. This usually occurs along the jawline and cheekbone and is most noticeable when touching the face, washing, or applying makeup. However, it should not interfere with eating, talking, or moving facial muscles. You may experience some or all the following symptoms immediately after your HIFU treatment. These symptoms could last up to four weeks, but usually subside over time. Most patients have mild symptoms. The treated area may be slightly pink for a few hours afterwards. There is no downtime after the procedure, and you can return to your normal routine and exercise program immediately.
