Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common inquiries below
A HIFU device emits high frequency sound waves, imperceptible to the human ear.
These sound waves are focused on a specific area within the body or skin, without damaging surrounding tissue. This focusing is achieved using a specific lens or transducer.
When sound waves reach the focus point, they produce heat. The heat is generated very precisely, allowing deep tissue to be targeted without affecting the surface of the skin.
Most individuals require only 1-2 full treatments to achieve their desired results. However, those with photo-damaged skin or a significant amount of loose skin may need additional sessions. During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific needs and determine the number of treatments necessary to achieve your goals.
The heat induced by HIFU stimulates the production of collagen, a protein essential for skin firmness and elasticity. The stimulation of collagen promotes the firming of the skin.
Results from HIFU are generally not immediate, as collagen production takes time. Over the weeks and months following treatment, the skin becomes firmer, wrinkles fade and the contours of the face or body gradually improve.
One of the major advantages of HIFU is that it is non-invasive, meaning it does not involve surgery or incisions. Patients can usually return to their normal activities after the treatment session.
The aesthetic results from HIFU treatments typically last between 18-24 months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prolong these effects even further.
