HIFU is a non-invasive facial and body treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. The ultrasound waves target deeper layers of the skin, promoting tightening and lifting without the need for surgery. It’s ideal for improving skin texture and firmness.

Most patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure as the ultrasound energy works beneath the skin. The sensation is often described as a warm, tingling feeling, but it’s generally well-tolerated. The discomfort varies depending on your skin sensitivity, but it’s brief and usually fades quickly after treatment.

A typical HIFU session lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. For example, facial treatments are usually shorter, while larger areas like the abdomen may take longer. You can expect minimal downtime, and many clients return to their daily activities immediately afterward.

HIFU is generally considered safe with minimal risks. Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or slight tenderness in the treated area, but these side effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. As with any treatment, it’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure it’s suitable for your skin type.
