HIFU - Non Surgical Skin Tightening & Contouring
HIFU is considered a safe, effective, and noninvasive procedure for tightening facial skin. Its advantages over a surgical facelift are hard to deny.
There are no incisions, no scarring, and no required rest or recovery time. HIFU is also far less expensive than a facelift.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider a noninvasive and painless replacement for facelifts. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin.
This method not only enhances the skin's elasticity but also addresses concerns such as fine lines and sagging, making it a popular choice for those seeking a rejuvenated appearance without the risks associated with surgical interventions. As more individuals prioritize noninvasive options, HIFU stands out as an innovative solution for achieving youthful, revitalized skin.
The procedure can firm sagging skin, smooth wrinkles, and improve skin texture. With good aftercare, the benefits of a HIFU facial can last for about 1 year. While the procedure is also used for overall facial rejuvenation, lifting, tightening, and body contouring, HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly. Most people see full results three months after their final treatment.

After care instructions:
Exfoliation or scrub for a week to prevent further irritation to your skin. As you may have guessed, more inflammation will not help your healing process.
2. Do not consume alcohol, smoke, or visit the sauna. Please avoid consuming alcohol, smoking or visiting the sauna to prevent any skin inflammation after the procedure.
3. Do not use ice packs on your skin.
4. Moisturize your skin very well. As your skin may get very dry after the HIFU treatment, we recommend using products with hydrating ingredients. If you are using skincare products made for skin brightening or anti-aging, we advise you to stop using those for the first two weeks post-procedure. Instead, you can replace with gentle and mild products made for skin moisturization, hydration and soothing.
5. Drink plenty of water. Remember to hydrate not only your skin, but also your body! Also, having enough rest helps in the skin recovery process.
6. Avoid sun exposure.
7. Avoid hot bath.
8. Avoid spicy food.
9. Take Vitamin C and collagen supplements. Did you know that Vitamin C helps in skin regeneration? Collagen supplements can also be a great way to take better care of your skin and body.
You can use a gentle and cooling sheet mask at room temperature to calm your skin, specifically one that is good for hydrating, soothing and cooling your skin.
NOTE: You can feel the tenderness on the treated area, it is normal it will go away with in 2 weeks.
Teatment Plan:
HIFU Treatments are designed to enhance skin firmness and elasticity. Typically, two to three treatments are recommended in a year to maintain optimal results. The third treatment, while beneficial, is specifically suggested for individuals experiencing significant sagging. By spacing these treatments throughout the year, clients can effectively combat skin aging and maintain a rejuvenated appearance.
