Every patient’s comfort threshold is different, and you may experience slight discomfort while the ultrasound energy is delivered. This is temporary, and the feelings you encounter are a positive sign that the process is working.

The procedure we offer has been proven safe in several clinical studies, and there have been tens of thousands of successful treatments performed already around the world. Additionally, ultrasound energy has had an excellent track record across many disciplines of medicine for over 50 years.

Due to the non-invasive nature of HIFU treatments, there is no downtime from the procedure. You’ll be able to return to your normal activities straight away, and there are no special recovery measures needed.

Some clients do enjoy immediate initial effects; however, the ultimate lifting and toning results will take place over the following 2 to 3 months. During this time, tired collagen is replaced with new collagen that has a higher level of elasticity. As the collagen-building process continues, you may see further improvements up to 6 months after the procedure.

You may experience slight redness for up to an hour following the treatment, and a small percentage of our clients do experience minor swelling, tingling or tenderness. These symptoms are mild and temporary.

The answer varies depending on what the treatment is targeting. A full face treatment typically takes 60-75 minutes, and a partial face or brow treatment will take approximately 30-45 minutes.

Following the HIFU treatment, clients will still have fresh, young collagen for over a year. This can continue for another year, depending on the condition of the skin. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the ageing process, and this varies by individual.

The majority of clients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment. This depends on how much laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and collagen-building process.
