HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive facelift treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. Here’s how it works:

Targeted Ultrasound Energy: The treatment delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin layers, targeting the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, which is the same layer that is tightened during a surgical facelift.

Collagen Stimulation: The ultrasound energy stimulates the production of new collagen, which gradually lifts and tightens the skin over the following weeks and months.

Natural-Looking Results: The treatment is precise and targets specific areas, resulting in a natural-looking lift without the need for surgery or downtime.

HIFU is effective for tightening sagging skin, reducing wrinkles, and improving the overall contour of the face, providing a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.

Consultation: Have a detailed consultation to discuss your skin concerns and ensure that HIFU is the right treatment for you.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least a week before the procedure to reduce the risk of skin irritation.

No Anti-Inflammatories: Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or aspirin 3-5 days before your appointment, as they can interfere with the natural inflammatory response needed for healing.

Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated, but avoid using new or potentially irritating skincare products in the days leading up to your treatment.

No Makeup or Creams: Arrive with a clean face, free from makeup, creams, or lotions on the day of your treatment.

Hydrate: Continue to moisturize your skin to support the healing process and enhance results.

Sun Protection: Protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as your skin will be more sensitive after the treatment.

Avoid Heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for at least 48 hours post-treatment to avoid irritation and excessive redness.

No Anti-Inflammatories: Avoid anti-inflammatory medications for a few days post-treatment to allow the natural healing process to take place.

Gentle Care: Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh treatments or exfoliants for at least a week after the procedure.

Be Patient: Results from HIFU develop gradually over 2-3 months as new collagen forms, so patience is key for seeing the full benefits.
