HIFU: body tightening or facial rejuvenation without surgery
- Treatment with HIFU is often considered a non-invasive alternative to the traditional surgical facelift or body elevator. During treatment, ultrasound targets the deep dermal layer to stimulate collagen production.
- Collagen is essential for skin firmness and elasticity. As you age, collagen production decreases, resulting in sagging skin. If you are striving for tighter skin, a HIFU treatment is an appropriate choice.
- It is important to realize that the results of a HIFU treatment will not exactly equal those of a full surgical facelift or body elevator. Especially with severe skin sagging, it is realistic to have moderate expectations.
How is HIFU treatment performed?
Why is it that the treatment stimulates collagen production? We explain that to you here.
HIFU treatment uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which involves the application of ultrasonic waves. These waves penetrate deep into the skin and safely treat the subcutaneous tissue. During the HIFU treatment, you don't have to worry as the skin, nerves, blood vessels and muscles are not damaged.
HIFU treatment step by step
- We take a pre-photo to closely monitor the results.
- We cleanse the skin to remove dirt or makeup residue.
- The specialist draws out the specific area to be treated.
- We apply conductive gel to allow good conduction of ultrasonic waves.
- We apply the HIFU equipment with the appropriate head, which works at various depths to deliver ultrasonic energy.
- After treatment, there is usually no recovery time, and you will receive specific aftercare instructions from the specialist.
- Your skin tightening is visible after just one month, and the full effect of skin tightening develops over 3 months.
- After 3 months you come back for a short (no-obligation) appointment to follow up on the results with the specialist.
HIFU treatment benefits
HIFU treatment brings many benefits. No incisions are made or fluids injected during the procedure, leaving the top layer of skin intact. Beyond that, however, the treatment has many benefits!
- Hardly any side effects: no slight swelling or redness after treatment
- As early as 15 min. after the treatment, you can apply mineral makeup to your face
- HIFU treatment is ideal for a quick treatment during a lunch break: it takes about 45 minutes.
- Through the treatment, your skin tightens immediately. After one month, 40% of the final result is already visible. Three to six months after the treatment, you will see the optimal result.
- This non-surgical facelift offers long-term results: with just one treatment, you'll enjoy the benefits for about two to three years.
- The HIFU treatment is virtually painless and may feel uncomfortable at best.
- It is a non-invasive treatment, meaning that you will have hardly any recovery time to count.
Pre- and aftercare HIFU
For the HIFU treatment/HIFU facelift
- Very important to know is that at least one month before the HIFU treatment you should take a collagen booster must take. This is not a a must, but it is highly recommended if you want to see significant results after the treatment.
After the HIFU treatment
- After treatment, it is mandatory to for six months a collagen supplement to take. You don't have to go scouring stores for that: we offer high-quality collagen supplements at our clinic.
- Furthermore, it is important that you do not cool your face for the first four hours after the treatment do not cool down. For one day after the treatment it is also forbidden to rinse your face with warm water.
The following prescriptions apply after treatment with HIFU:
- No sauna and massage of the treated area for two weeks.
- Do not apply makeup to the treated area for one week, with the exception of mineral makeup.
- For at least one week, use a moisturizing mask. You can purchase these from us, for example.
- Do not eat spicy foods for one month.
Possible side effects of treatment with HIFU:
- The skin may turn a little red and there may be slight swelling. However, such side effects are completely normal and disappear within one to two days of HIFU treatment.
- The treated area may flake a little on the second day after HIFU treatment. This is because the skin warms up and shrinks. Again, this is completely normal and disappears quickly.
