HIFU

Will it melt my face fat?

On the face, HIFU is designed to target the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen without affecting fat tissue. It should not "melt" facial fat. However, when used on the body with higher-intensity settings, HIFU can help reduce fat in specific areas.

When do I see results?

Some immediate tightening effects can be seen right after the HIFU treatment, but the most significant results develop over 2 to 3 months as new collagen is produced. The results may continue to improve for up to 6 months following the procedure.

Perfect for the Face and Body

HIFU can be applied to multiple areas, including:

• Face: Forehead, brow, cheeks, jawline, neck, and décolletage.
• Body: Abdomen, thighs, arms, and other areas for skin tightening or fat reduction.

What Will You Experience During the Procedure?

During a HIFU session, you’ll feel a series of warm pulses as the ultrasound energy penetrates your skin. The sensation is often described as mild prickling or warmth under the skin. Most patients find it comfortable and tolerable without the need for numbing cream. After the treatment, you can resume your daily activities immediately, with no aftercare required for most cases.

What is the best age to start HIFU?

The best age to start HIFU is typically between the mid-30s and 50s when the first signs of aging, such as mild to moderate skin laxity, begin to appear. Younger individuals may also opt for HIFU as a preventative measure to maintain skin firmness and delay the onset of aging.

What does the research say?

Research supports the effectiveness of HIFU as a non-surgical option for skin tightening and lifting. Clinical studies have shown that HIFU can safely and effectively stimulate collagen production, leading to noticeable improvements in skin laxity. The results are less dramatic than surgical options, making HIFU suitable for those seeking a non-invasive treatment.

Body HIFU?

Body HIFU is an extension of the facial HIFU treatment, designed to target and reduce fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms while also tightening the skin. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to contour specific areas of their body without surgery.

What areas does it work on?

HIFU can be applied to both the face and body. On the face, it is used on areas such as the brow, cheeks, jawline, neck, and décolletage. On the body, it targets areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms for fat reduction and skin tightening.

Ideal Candidate?

The ideal candidate for HIFU is someone in their 30s to 50s with mild to moderate skin laxity who wants to achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery. Candidates should have good skin elasticity and realistic expectations about the outcomes. Those with severe skin sagging may need alternative or additional treatments for the desired results.

How does it work?

HIFU works by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, specifically targeting the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, which is the same layer that is tightened during surgical facelifts. The ultrasound energy causes controlled thermal injury to the tissues, which triggers the body’s natural healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin production. This process leads to the gradual tightening and lifting of the skin.

How it is done

The HIFU procedure typically begins with cleansing the skin and applying an ultrasound gel to the treatment area. A handheld HIFU device is then placed on the skin, and ultrasound energy is delivered in short pulses. The practitioner moves the device across the treatment area, ensuring even coverage. The entire process can take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the area being treated. There is no need for incisions, and the treatment is performed on an outpatient basis.

The benefits of HIFU include:

• Non-invasive and no downtime.
• Natural-looking results with gradual improvement.
• Tightens and lifts sagging skin.
• Stimulates collagen production.
• Safe and effective for most skin types.
• Can target both the face and body.
• Long-lasting results with proper maintenance.

After Care

After HIFU treatment, you may experience some redness or mild swelling, which should subside within a few hours. It is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly to protect the treated areas. Hydrating the skin and using gentle skincare products can also help with the recovery process. Avoiding heat-based treatments, such as saunas and hot baths, for a few days after the procedure is advisable.

How Many Sessions

Most patients require only one HIFU session to achieve noticeable results. However, depending on the severity of skin laxity and the desired outcome, some may benefit from additional sessions. Follow-up treatments can be scheduled 6 to 12 months after the initial session if needed.

Recovery Time

HIFU has minimal to no downtime. Patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure. Some may experience slight redness, swelling, or tingling in the treated areas, but these effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.

Preparation Tips

Before undergoing HIFU, it is recommended to:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least a week before the procedure.
• Discontinue the use of harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, a few days prior to treatment.
• Stay hydrated and ensure your skin is well-moisturized.
• Discuss any medications or supplements with your practitioner, as some may need to be paused before the treatment.

Maintenance

To maintain the results of HIFU, it is important to follow a good skincare regimen, including regular use of sunscreen, moisturizers, and anti-aging products. Annual or bi-annual follow-up HIFU sessions can help prolong the effects. Leading a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can also contribute to maintaining your skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Expected Results

The expected results from HIFU include firmer, tighter skin with a more lifted appearance. Initial improvements may be visible immediately after the procedure, with full results developing over the next 2 to 3 months as new collagen is produced. The effects can last for 1 to 2 years, depending on individual skin condition and aging process. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain the results over a longer period.

How Does HIFU Work?
