Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Facial.

Most clients see gradual improvement over two to three months as new collagen forms. Results commonly last 12 to 18 months, varying by age and lifestyle. Annual or biannual maintenance treatments extend and enhance long-term outcomes.

Most clients feel brief warmth or mild tingling during the procedure; some experience transient discomfort in bony or sensitive areas. We use topical numbing and adjustable energy settings to maximize comfort while ensuring effective treatment.

Ideal candidates are adults with mild to moderate skin laxity seeking non-surgical lifting. Not suitable for open wounds, severe acne, or certain medical conditions. A consultation and skin assessment determine candidacy and a personalized treatment plan.

Many clients achieve noticeable improvement after a single session, but optimal results often require one to two sessions spaced three to six months apart. Treatment plan depends on skin condition, goals, and practitioner recommendation.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and mild bruising, which resolve within days to weeks. Rarely, prolonged numbness or focal firmness occurs. We'll review risks during consultation and provide post-care instructions to minimize reactions.

Treatment begins with cleansing and consultation, followed by topical numbing if desired. The practitioner delivers focused ultrasound pulses across targeted areas for 30 to 90 minutes depending on treatment zones. Mild warmth and tapping sensations are common; no bandages are needed afterwards.
