HIFU
MOST FREQUENCY ASKED QUEST
WHAT IS HIFU?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound to stimulate the formation of new collagen and improve the elasticity of the skin, so lifting and tightening.
HIFU targets the skin and its supporting tissue, but without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin.
HOW IT WORKS
The HIFU treatment heats targeted areas of soft tissue below the surface of the skin causing it to contract and then start to create new collagen.
To achieve the best lifting and tightening effect, the right amount of heat needs to be delivered to the tissue, so you may feel tiny areas of heating below the skin surface of the skin.
This is often described as a tingling or pricking sensation. The ultrasound heat can be intense at times and is a positive signal that the collagen and building process has been initiated.
The degree and nature of any discomfort will vary from person to person and from area to area on the face and or neck, with bony areas such as jawline being more sensitive than others.
There can be some temporarily, small areas of the numbing or sensitivity to touch after the procedure.
THE SKINS APPEARANCE POST TREATMENT
Skin feels tighter with a mild sensitivity to touch; however, this sensitivity will only last up to 48 hours.
After three days, your skin will feel back to normal.
Results visible 6 to 8 weeks and improve further over time.
Collagen induction process continues to work for another six months after the treatment.
RESULTS OF HIFU FACE & NECK LIFT
Some clients will see an initial effect immediately after their treatment, generally a refreshed glowing look, but the real results appear over the following 2 to 3 months as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin on the neck, chin and brow.
Results can be seen up to 9 months following the treatment and depend on the variety of different factors including age, health, lifestyle and diet, and how much pre-existing collagen there is to build on when having a procedure for the first time.
While a HIFU treatment won’t duplicate the results of a facelift, it is a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery, and may even be an option for clients who wish to extend the effects of previous cosmetic surgery, they have already had.
