Frequently asked questions
How many treatments are recommended?
For most people one treatment will deliver good results, however, some may benefit from more than one treatment depending on their skin laxity and the body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and collagen rebuilding process.
Who is suitable for 3D-HIFU?
A good candidate for this treatment is someone who is aged 30+ who has noticed some laxity to the skin on their face and neck and who wishes to lift and tighten the relevant area.
For patients in their 30s it is typically used to stimulate collagen production and hence help delay the ageing process.
Patients in their 40s and 50s are the most common age group to undergo this treatment but it is also suitable for those aged 60+. It is also suitable for prolonging the effects of surgical facelifts for those who have undergone surgery in the past.
How soon will I see results from the treatment?
You may see some initial effects, but the lifting and firming will take place over approximately three months, as collagen is renewed and replaced with new, stronger collagen. As this collagen building process continues, improvements can continue to be seen for up to six months.
How long do 3D-HIFU results last?
For most people results will last for over one year, although yearly touch-up treatments are recommended to stay ahead of the ageing process.
Can I combine 3D-HIFU with other treatments?
Often 3D HIFU is used alongside other treatments to enhance results. For example 4 months after a HIFU treatment, a radio frequency treatment can be performed to maintain the tightness of the skin.
How does 3D HIFU work?
3D HIFU facelift is performed using a small smooth hand piece that delivers the highly focused ultrasound energy to the treatment area, stimulating new collagen production via targeted input of ultrasound energy into the deep tissue layers of the skin. This heats the tissues, triggering a natural skin response that initiates the body’s healing process stimulating collagen and elastin production.
This technology bypasses the skin’s surface and focuses entirely on the deep, structural layers of the skin where collagen is deposited. This means that the surface of your skin is not affected, and after the treatment, you can go about your usual daily activities.
What kind of results can be achieved with 3D-HIFU?
HIFU addresses skin that is mild to moderately loose or lax, specifically by reconditioning and renewing the skin from within. HIFU will lift the brow, which in turn reduces excess skin on the eyelids, opens up the eyes, and gives a more refreshed look overall. Many have reported firmer, more toned skin in others areas of the face and neck as well.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people do not report pain. There can be slight aching over bony areas or a warm sensation in the skin during treatment.
Is it safe?
Yes, HIFU is clinically proven to be a safe alternative to surgery. The technology is actively endorsed by renowned surgeons as a safe alternative to surgery. Furthermore, ultrasound energy has been used safely in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
Are there any side effects?
There may be a slight redness following the treatment. A small amount of people report swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch. All potential side effects will be discussed with you by the practitioner prior to treatment.
Is there any downtime?
There is normally no downtime after treatment and most people return to normal daily activities immediately.
Can 3D-HIFU be an alternative to a face lift?
3D-HIFU is not a replacement for surgery but it is ideal for those who wish to uplift their face and neck but who don’t feel ready or wish to undergo surgery. This treatment is considered more an ‘uplift’ than a ‘facelift’ and can be combined with other non-surgical lifting treatments to further enhance the results.
Is this treatment safe during pregnancy?
No, we do not recommend treatment during pregnancy.
