FAQs

Q1. What is HIFU and how does it work?

A: HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive facelift procedure that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in skin tightening, lifting, and wrinkle reduction — all without surgery or downtime.

Q2. Is HIFU treatment painful?

A: Most patients experience mild discomfort such as a tingling or warm sensation during the procedure. It’s generally well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia.

Q3. How long does a HIFU session take?

A: A single HIFU session typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated (face, neck, jawline, etc.).

Q4. How many sessions of HIFU will I need?

A: Most clients see visible improvement after just one session. However, depending on age, skin laxity, and goals, a touch-up may be recommended every 12–18 months.

Q5. When will I start seeing results from HIFU?

A: Some immediate tightening may be visible after treatment, but full results develop gradually over 2–3 months as new collagen is formed.

Q6. Is there any downtime after HIFU?

A: No. HIFU is a lunch-time procedure with zero downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.

Q7. Is HIFU better than Botox or Fillers?

A: HIFU is ideal for lifting and tightening skin naturally. Botox relaxes dynamic wrinkles, while fillers restore volume. For best results, your dermatologist may combine treatments depending on your skin needs.
