HIFU
Face and Body Skin Tightening
HIFU is a great way to reduce stubborn fatty areas on the face and body without going under the knife.
And the best part is there is no downtime. Get tighter, younger-looking skin with long term results.
What is HIFU?
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatments are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that rejuvenates ageing skin. It lifts sagging skin on the face and body, specifically on the lower face, around the eyes, and the neck.
The treatment uses ultrasound energy to reach underneath the skin surface. It heats up the skin tissue this causes stimulation to the targeted area. As the area heals, the skin produces more collagen, resulting in tighter and younger-looking skin. HIFU is a non-surgical face and neck lift and body contouring procedure.
How many HIFU sessions will I need?
Usually, clients see results in a single session. Some clients may need more sessions depending on how their body builds collagen and the current condition of their skin.
Mojo Beauty recommends a maintenance program 6 - 12 months apart. The program includes Mini HIFU which can be done 2 - 3 months after HIFU skin tightening. It will help the memory of the muscle and skin texture.
How long does it take to see results?
After your HIFU treatment, you will see some slight plumping, but the best results will come after 2 - 3 months. Your body will continue to regenerate collagen for the next 6 months after the initial treatment.
We continue to age every day, so we recommend pairing the treatment with a maintenance program. Adding skin treatments in-between like dermal needling to help the skin texture and reduce fine lines can also generate better results.
How long will HIFU last?
Results from HIFU treatments can last for a year or more. We cannot give a more definite time frame since results vary depending on an individual’s collagen production process and other lifestyle factors that could affect ageing.
How does it work?
HIFU treatments use high-frequency ultrasound energy to target tissues under the skin surface. Each probe has a different depth. For the face, the therapist delivers 2 passes, one with a focal depth of 4.5mm and one with 3.0mm. One HIFU session for each client is about 400 to 600 shots, depending on the treated area and size. The radar hand-piece is smaller to target areas around the eyes and mouth.
Once the treatment targets specific areas on the face and the body, the body’s natural wound healing response results in the formation of new collagen. This results in long-term tightening and strengthening of the skin.
The treatment can take up to an hour and a half. Nik will also take before and after photos, so you can witness your progress.
Is there downtime?
Unlike cosmetic surgery, HIFU treatments do not require any downtime. After the treatment, you will see some slight redness or swelling but normally your skin will have a healthy glow. You need to take certain precautions like avoiding temperatures that are too hot or too cold, but you will be able to resume most of your daily activities.
Who qualifies for HIFU?
HIFU is for everyone that is concerned about ageing, tired skin or if you need a pep up. This gives you a natural healthy glow without surgery. You may schedule a consultation with Mojo Beauty to determine how this treatment can benefit you. Areas that can be treated are around the eyes, cheeks, jowls, neck and mouth, and we recommend the full face and neck treatment for best results.
Can you do HIFU on the body?
HIFU is a great way to reduce stubborn fatty areas on the body without going under the knife. The treatment uses ultrasound energy to target fat cells under the skin surface. The body will then dissolve the fat through natural channels.
Not only does HIFU reduce fat, but it also helps with cellulite and tightening the skin, making the target area slimmer and firmer. We recommend HIFU treatment for areas like the stomach, arms, back fat, and love handles, anywhere you see pockets of fat on the body.
HIFU isn’t specifically made for weight loss. It’s more suited to targeting stubborn fat deposits that can be difficult to get rid of.
Is HIFU painful?
HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that doesn’t use needles. Patients may experience a slight tingling sensation during the procedure which can be uncomfortable. You may also experience some slight swelling and redness a few hours after the procedure.
Is body HIFU permanent?
Yes, HIFU treatments on the body are permanent. However, the clients lifestyle post-treatment will affect results. We highly recommend pairing the treatment with regular exercise and a healthy diet for best results.
Body HIFU will need to be repeated 6 to 8 weeks apart after the initial treatment. The target area and size of the unwanted fat pockets will help determine how many treatments you will need. To make sure, you can visit us at Mojo Beauty in Fendalton for a consultation.
HIFU Aftercare
Avoid exposure to temperatures that are too hot or too cold, including activities that involve sun exposure, sunless tanning and more.
Avoid applying all products that contain skin irritants on the treated area. These irritants include glycolic/ salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol products and Vitamin C for one week pre and post-treatment
Advise staff when taking antibiotics.
Avoid alcohol. The liver will be mainly responsible for disposing of the fat deposits destroyed during the treatment. Drink 8 glasses of water for 4 weeks and follow a healthy diet and light exercise plan.
HIFU Maintenance
To get long-lasting results, we recommend two HIFU treatments in the first year spaced six months apart. You can then get one treatment a year afterwards to maintain the results of the treatment. For trickier areas, you may need a few extra treatments 3 months after the first treatment.
If you’d like to get an instant glow, you can try our Glow HIFU. It is a mini HIFU treatment which penetrates 1.5 mm in the epidermis layer. It can be done more often than regular HIFU face and neck lifts and can help boost collagen growth.
We consider it our “party” treatment, because it’s perfect when you’re attending events and want to look your best. It takes 45 minutes with no discomfort or damage to the skin surface.
