About HIFU
What is HIFU?
By leveraging focused ultrasound energy, HIFU offers a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that effectively stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. This treatment option works wonders in permanently reducing fat and combating skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles, making it an invaluable tool for achieving desired dermal outcomes.
What are the benefits of HIFU?
- Minimally invasive: HIFU treatments avoid the need for surgical incisions, resulting in minimal down time and minimal risk of complications.
- Skin Tightening:The application of focused ultrasound energy has been proven to effectively tighten and lift the skin, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
- Natural Collagen Production: By stimulating the body's natural collagen production, HIFU enhances the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
- Precise Focus: HIFU can precisely concentrate on specific depths within the skin, leading to optimal treatment outcomes.
How many HIFU sessions are recommended?
Depending on individual collagen production, no more than 4 sessions are recommended per treatment area. Which is why we offer single sessions and packages of 4.
What type of HIFU machine does your clinic have?

FAQs
Is HIFU painful?
If used correctly and with high quality, medical grade technology, HIFU is not typically painful. Prior to treatment, we always perform a test patch to assess the sensitivity of the area. Some patients may experience a slight prickling sensation during the procedure. HIFU is specifically designed to deliver maximum ultrasound emission power levels in a comfortable manner, ensuring optimal results from the treatment.
Does HIFU damage the skin?
Should any redness or bruising occur, it generally fades away within two weeks. HIFU is a safe and effective procedure designed to tighten, rejuvenate, repair, and uplift the skin. You can trust that your skin will not experience any damage or negative consequences.
Are there side effects to HIFU?
Although rare, side effects may occur in a small percentage of HIFU treatments. Temporary redness of the skin is a possible side effect of HIFU. Some individuals may also experience slight tenderness in the treated area for a few days up to two weeks after their treatment. These mild side effects are often seen as positive indications of deep skin rejuvenation.
Can HIFU be used with other treatments?
HIFU can be used in conjunction with EMS + EMT Sculpt to tone and define, Fat Cavitation to further reduce fatty pockets and RF Tri-Polar to further tighten the skin.
HIFU is also safe to be used in conjunction with filler. It is recommended to wait at least 6 weeks post filler injections for HIFU.
Is HIFU Safe?
Absolutely. This treatment is non-invasive as we are not penetrating your skin. Therefore you are not risking an infection. The treatment stimulates the body's natural processes.
