HIFU Treatment

• Firstly, you may book for a consultation session. Your concerns and goals will be discussed and your questions about the treatment will be answered. Your session will be scheduled and a Pre- & Post-Care Information Sheet will be provided.
• On the treatment day, we will double check if your medical conditions have changed and confirm whether the treatment can go ahead.
• Before the treatment starts, the treatment area will be cleaned and dried up. Some lines will be drawn on your skin to map the treatment zones for safe delivery and consistent efficacy.
• Ultrasound gel will then be applied on the skin and a handpiece with an appropriate transducer will be placed over the treatment area. After getting the right settings for you, the handpiece will be slowly moved along different zones. The transducer delivers short bursts of ultrasound waves into the targeted layers under the skin. You will feel little pulses. Sometimes it may get slightly hot and uncomfortable – this is completely normal.
• Depending on the treatment area, several transducers are used to target different focal depths. Multiples passes on the skin are made until the whole treatment area is covered.
• When the session finishes, the treatment area will be wiped clean. On the face, serum will be applied. The session will then be complete.

Depending on the areas to be treated, the duration of each treatment ranges from 15 to 60 minutes, plus 20-30 minutes pre-treatment preparation and post treatment care.

HIFU treatments target the deeper layers under the skin. Usually, the best results come between 2-6 months after the initial treatment. Results are permanent.

For a face treatment, enhanced skin radiance and tone can be seen immediately after the session. The effect of a HIFU treatment will continue up to six months when the collagen fibres regenerate and restructure themselves. HIFU face treatment results generally last 12-18 months, sometimes up to 3 years depending on your lifestyle and the aging process.

For a body treatment, the fat cells are burnt instantly during the session but the metabolic wastes will take 2-4 months to be fully flushed out from the body through our natural lymphatic drainage system.

A balanced and healthy lifestyle with appropriate after care regime are important to bring faster, longer-lasting results. Please refer to more details from our HIFU treatment Pre- & Post Care Information Sheet HERE.

HIFU treatments deliver permanent results with just one session. Whiles most clients need only one session, some may benefit from repeated treatments depending on their starting point and end goals, degree of skin laxity, individual biological response to HIFU treatment and lifestyle, etc. Maintenance treatment every 1-2 years can also help keeping pace with our body’s natural ageing process.

A full HIFU face or body treatment can be repeated within 3-6 months. For an express face toning or mini treatment, it can be repeated every 2-4 weeks.

At the initial consultation, we will assess your conditions and make recommendations for a treatment plan for you. We will also review your results 8-12 weeks post treatment and discuss if a repeated session is required.

To keep the results longer, remember to exercise regularly, eat nutritious food, sleep well, drink plenty of water and use suitable skin / body care products.

HIFU is a very safe technology. The ultrasound energy bypasses the upper skin layers, causing no damage to the skin. No downtime is required. You can resume your normal activities.

Possible side effects after a HIFU treatment include redness on skin, swelling, tenderness, numbness or tingling sensations. These symptoms are usually mild and temporary and will disappear in a few hours to just a few days.

Read our DualHI+™ HIFU Treatment Pre- & Post Care Information Sheet HERE for managing any discomfort and enhancing the results from the treatment.

During the treatment, you may experience some discomfort. When the ultrasound energy is emitted, you may feel heat and tingling. Some people describe it as tiny pulses or a light prickly sensation. This indicates that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Everyone’s comfort levels vary. The discomfort sensation only lasts a second or two while the energy is being delivered. It will then be a faint memory. Immediately after the treatment, your skin may feel warm and flushed – like a mild sunburn which will gradually subside over the next few hours.

Our HIFU program can be easily adjusted to your tolerance threshold. Its unique design of dual transducers makes the emission of ultrasound energy more evenly distributed. This also means the treatment will be completed in a shorter time, thus minimizing the discomfort sensation. No anaesthetic is required for a HIFU treatment. Most clients can undergo a HIFU session without any issues.

Something to takeaway: HIFU treatment may not be a comfortable and relaxing treatment, but it gives you superior results without needing to go under the knife.
