Everything you wanted to ask about HIFU

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a safe, non-surgical ultrasound treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. The treatment uses the body’s own regenerative response to manipulate collagen to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, under the chin and on the neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.

We use the HIPRO V, which is TGA approved and one of the best machines on the market. e-skin is a fully compliant clinic using only medical grade TGA approved HIFU equipment, and all of it is listed on the TGA with an ARTG number.

Most clients only need a few treatments, spread out 2 to 3 months apart. It depends on the degree of skin laxity, how your body responds to ultrasound energy and your own collagen-building process. Because skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments help you keep pace with it. Your therapist will map out a realistic plan at your consultation.

Clients come to us for a more defined and lifted face, smoother skin texture, a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, enhanced jawline definition, and non-surgical facelift benefits. It works with your own collagen, involves no incisions, injectables or downtime, and you can return to normal activity immediately.

Bio Microneedling is a revolutionary patented skincare treatment. This procedure utilises nano particles from sponges that penetrate deeply to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin texture. It targets active acne, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, sun damaged skin and stretch marks. There is no needling device involved, and it produces a shedding phase of roughly 3 to 5 days rather than the redness a needling pen leaves.

HIFU Therapy is a safe, non-surgical ultrasound treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. The treatment uses the body’s own regenerative response to manipulate collagen to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, under the chin and on the neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.

HIFU Therapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery. It is considered a great alternative to surgery, especially for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.

The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment on its own takes approximately 30 minutes.

With a single HIFU Therapy treatment there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately, without having to follow any special post-treatment measures. We have even had clients come up to the clinic on their lunchbreak to have the treatment, no creams required and your general skin care plan and make-up can be applied as normal.

Most clients only need a few treatments, spread out 2-3 months apart. However this may be based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual’s collagen-building process, some clients may benefit from additional treatments. Because skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help clients keep pace with the body’s natural aging process.

A good HIFU candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to feel and look less firm. Examples include a lowered eyebrow line, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest. Of course, the best way to find out if you’re a suitable candidate is to consult with a practitioner.

The HIFU procedure has been used safely in over 250,000 treatments worldwide. Ultrasound energy itself has been used safely in the medical field for more than 50 years.

The skin might appear flushed at first, this can be during treatment but sometimes lasting longer, the redness should however disappear within a few hours. Some clients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are temporary in nature. Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any cosmetic procedure, there is the possibility of other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you.

After your HIFU Treatment, you may see some initial effect, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months, as your body naturally regenerates collagen. Since the procedure stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on you. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside.

Most people tolerate HIFU well and the procedure is designed to be relatively comfortable. Some people may describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable and some may find it not bothersome at all. The HIFU itself is able to be adjusted to ensure the clients comfort. Many clients even fall asleep during HIFU treatments.
