High Intensity Focal Ultasound (HIFU) treatments:

---

• HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin on the face and neck.
   
• It works by delivering focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin layers, stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration.
   
• The result is a firmer, more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.

• Precision & Depth Control:
   
• The 3D technology allows targeting multiple skin layers simultaneously, including the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which is the layer surgeons manipulate during a facelift.
   
• Non-invasive:
   
• No incisions or injections, reducing risk and recovery time.
   
• Collagen Boost:
   
• Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time.
   
• Natural-Looking Results:
   
• Gradual improvement over 2-3 months, with results lasting up to a year or more.
   
• Minimal Downtime:
   
• Most patients resume normal activities immediately.

• Jawline tightening and contouring
   
• Lifting of cheeks and mid-face
   
• Reduction of nasolabial folds
   
• Tightening under the chin and neck
   
• Brow lifting

• The treatment usually takes about 30-60 minutes.
   
• You may feel mild discomfort or warmth during the ultrasound delivery.
   
• Some slight redness or swelling can occur but typically resolves within a few hours.
   
• No anesthesia needed.

• People with mild to moderate skin laxity.
   
• Those looking for a non-surgical alternative to facelifts.
   
• Not suitable for individuals with severe sagging or those with certain medical conditions (consultation required).

Most side effects from HIFU facial treatments are mild and temporary:

• Redness:
  Skin may appear red or flushed immediately after treatment but usually fades within a few hours.
   
• Swelling:
  Mild swelling can occur, typically resolving within 1-3 days.
   
• Tenderness or soreness:
  The treated areas might feel tender, similar to a mild sunburn or muscle soreness for a few days.
   
• Tingling or numbness:
  Some patients report a tingling sensation or slight numbness, which generally resolves within a few days to weeks.
   
• Bruising:
  Rare but possible, especially if small blood vessels near the skin’s surface are affected.
•  Skin type and sensitivity:
  More sensitive skin might react more with redness or swelling. 

 Less Common / Rare Side Effects 

• Temporary nerve irritation:
  This can cause slight numbness or muscle weakness but usually resolves within a few weeks.
   
• Burns or blisters:
  Very rare, but can occur if the ultrasound energy is not properly controlled or administered.
   
• Scarring:
  Extremely rare, typically related to burns or improper treatment technique.
   
• Paradoxical effect:
  In very rare cases, there might be temporary worsening of skin laxity or unevenness before improvement is seen.

• Avoid heavy makeup and harsh skincare products for 24 hours.
   
• Use gentle moisturizers and sunscreen.
   
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and heat (like saunas) for a few days.
   
• Follow your practitioner’s specific aftercare instructions.
