HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

Is HIFU non-surgical skin tightening and facelift safe for me?

HIFU works to tighten the muscles that can lift jowls. HIFU is designed for more mature skin however can also be suitable for younger skin types. We recommend a visit to see us for a consultation with our trained specialist to determine if this treatment is proper for you. 

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments required depends on your age, skin quality, and health. HIFU is a fantastic new technology that can deliver results in as little as one session. 

What results will I expect to see after my treatment?

Immediately after your treatment, you may notice that your skin is firmer, and its texture is lifted. It can take up to 4-6 weeks and even three months for the full effect of the treatment to kick in, and you will see a dramatic improvement in your facial contouring and a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

We found a good video on YouTube that explains how many HIFU treatments you need to see a result, how long it takes to see the results, and how long the effects last: https://youtu.be/49a-4IaqvFQ. 

How long do I wait before I can have another HIFU treatment?

It would be best if you waited 4 to 12 weeks between treatments to allow the HIFU facial rejuvenation and lift to effect fully.

Can I combine HIFU with injectables (Botox and fillers)?

Yes, you can, but we recommend you speak with our specialist before booking additional treatments with HIFU to follow the correct protocol and waiting periods between treatments.

HIFU Regulations

HIFU or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound has been used for decades to treat severe medical issues like prostate cancer. More recently, however, it has been approved by the FDA for brow lifts & minimizing lines and wrinkles around the neck and décolletage. The use of HIFU to perform overall facial tightening, lifting & body contouring has not yet been approved by the FDA. There are no HIFU-specific regulations for technicians performing in the US as it is very new to the cosmetic industry. And, as always, regulations take a bit of time to catch up with technology. 

Prices for HIFU treatments will depend on the area we’re targeting as well as the skin’s current condition. If you’d like more specific information, feel free to book a consultation.

• No damage to the upper layers of the skin
• Non-invasive treatment; no incision, needles, or scarring.
• No downtime. You can return to your daily life right after your treatment which is a massive appeal to many.
• Right after your treatment, you will see some results. But for the maximum results, it usually takes up to 3 months. 
• Some of our clients choose HIFU because the treatment results improve. Plus, the added advantage of not having to explain they’ve had any procedures done. 
• HIFU facial treatment is significantly cheaper than any surgical facelift.
• It contours your face and promotes your skin to fight aging. It also renews the skin texture: the skin blemishes, large pores, acne, and pimples.
• As Hifu facial treatment mainly activates your skin’s natural process, it provides an overall renewal and anti-aging.
• It naturally wakes up your skin/body to work and produces collagen, acting like it was 20 years younger. 

• Hifu promotes skin regeneration rather than filling under the surface for a more plump look or getting rid of the extra skin with surgery. As it is a way to promote the skin’s natural process, the results depend on your skin’s nature and ability to regenerate by itself. Hence results may vary from person to person. *Surgery results are more specific. 
• Some people may experience slight swelling and redness right after treatment, which usually disappears quickly. The treatment area may also feel slightly sensitive for a week.
• HIFU is most suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity. 
• HIFU facial treatment effects usually continue for around 12 months. After this period, you may require repeated treatments to maintain the best results. 
• Contraindications for HIFU: metal implants, blood disorders, silicone injections
