FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

  • How does a HIFU facial treatment work?

    This non-surgical face lift works on the SMAS layer deep below the skin, which is the area surgeons tighten for face and neck lifts. Rather than surgery, the Focus Dual harnesses ultrasound technology to radiate energy to the SMAS layer to tighten, lift and plump the skin.


  • What does the treatment feel like?

    You may experience some mild heating or a slight tingling sensation during treatment. Patients describe this as moderate and acceptable.


  • How many sessions will I need?

    Results can be seen after just one session. However, a minimum of 2 and up to 6 treatments, at 4-week intervals, deliver the best results, depending on the skin concern.


  • How long will it take for me to see results?

    Results can usually be seen immediately, but the results get better and better up to 12 weeks post treatment as your collagen is renewed.


    We expect results to last 1-2 years, but this can be dependent on lifestyle and maintenance.


  • Is there any downtime with a HIFU treatment?

    Due to the non-invasive nature of HIFU treatments, there is virtually no downtime. You may experience slight redness following the treatment, and a small percentage of our clients do experience minor swelling, tingling or tenderness. These symptoms are mild and temporary.


    You will be able to return to your normal activities straight away, and there are no special recovery measures needed. This is why HIFU has earned the name “lunchtime face lift”.
