Events

The ultrasound examination is moved over the target areas allowing the ultrasound waves to stretch into the underlying connective tissues and produce the skin-tightening effect you desire.

Since the overlying skin layers stay unaffected, lifting can be done without any trace. This process can be done on the whole face to lift sagging skin. HIFU can treat the eyebrow area, neck region, cheeks and chin. You can choose to treat all areas at once or target only one area.

A single treatment lasts depends on the spot to be treated, but it’s usually between half an hour and 2.5 hours.
Great results are usually achieved after only a single session. Additional treatment may be done no earlier than 8 to 12 months after the first. Using special cosmetics is recommended to promote collagen regeneration and growth.

Plastic surgery comes with a lot of risks, such as scarring. With HIFU, you don’t need to worry about scars. Since the upper layers of the skin are untouched, you can resume your usual routine right after treatment. In some cases, swelling or slight redness may occur. However, these side effects will quickly subside after a few hours. 

Patients may also feel a light tingling sensation and sensitivity to touch that can past for a couple of weeks. Temporary local numbness and bruising may also occur, but these cases are extremely rare. If they do occur, they will disappear after a couple of days.

Some contraindications that you need to know include pacemakers, metal implants or silicone injection in the treatment site and blood disorders. For your peace of mind, talk to your doctor about your desire to undergo HIFU treatment.
