What is HIFU?

 HIFU offers comprehensive treatment in a single session.

During the procedure, HIFU heats the deeper layers of the dermis to temperatures ranging from 60-70 degrees, activating fibroblast cells to regenerate collagen and elastin, thereby promoting skin tightening and lifting. Our clinic utilises the advanced DualHi device, which is TGA Approved and listed as a Class II device. This medical-grade technology features a dual transducer, ensuring thorough and effective treatment with minimal discomfort.

For optimal results, we customise each treatment, utilizing 3 cartridges tailored to address individual concerns. Whether it's targeting fat cells on the body or addressing skin laxity on the face, our goal is to achieve noticeable and long-lasting results.

Unlike traditional methods that may require invasive plastic surgery to tighten the SMAS layer, HIFU offers a non-invasive alternative with impressive outcomes.

HIFU treatment is versatile, allowing us to address various concerns, including double chin reduction, skin tightening on the face and body, cellulite reduction, and more. With proper maintenance and a healthy lifestyle, results can last 18-24 months, providing a significant improvement in skin appearance and texture.

 

How many treatments of HIFU do I need?

The number of recommended treatments varies depending on individual factors such as skin concerns, age, and lifestyle. For facial treatments, 1-2 sessions over a 12-month period are typically recommended, while 2-3 sessions may be necessary for body treatments, especially when targeting fat cells alongside skin tightening and lifting.

​

How Long Will the Treatment Last?

Once desired results are achieved, the effects of HIFU treatment typically last 18-24 months. However, to maintain optimal results, regular in-clinic treatments and a skincare regimen are recommended.
