High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is the latest clinically proven technology for face lifting and the reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. HIFU directly delivers heat energy to the skin and subcutaneous tissue which then stimulates and renews the skin’s collagen, improves its texture, and reduces sagging. HIFU penetrates at deeper depths and higher temperatures than Radio Frequency, treating beyond the dermis, where skin structure starts to weaken. Leaving the skin Restored & Rejuvenated.

The length of a HIFU treatment depends heavily on the target area and your treatment plan. If you plan to treat just your chest area, then it will take around 30 minutes. However, if you want to do a face laser treatment and improve your neck’s appearance, then it will take approximately 90 minutes. 

Fortunately, there is no downtime associated with HIFU treatment. You can go back to work or resume your activities right after the procedure without having to worry about additional post-treatment routines. You can even visit the aesthetic clinic for treatment during your lunch break and return to your office right after!

Only trained professionals should apply HIFU treatments. UltraGlo founder, Pooja Chandra, is an expert in the science behind HIFU. She is a highly qualified Sonographer with over 16 years of experience in medical ultrasound and an Undergraduate Certificate in Dermal Interventions. She has a deep understanding of the human body and her expertise in ultrasound technology makes one of the most trusted clinicians delivering HIFU treatments in Brisbane today.

HIFU targets focused ultrasound energy on layers of skin beneath the surface, causing the tissues to heat up quickly. Once the targeted cells reach a specific temperature, they undergo cellular damage, which stimulates the cells to ramp up its production of collagen. With an increase in collagen, the skin will become tighter, smoother, and firmer, erasing wrinkles or any fine lines.

The ultrasound beams contain a high-frequency and focus on a particular tissue site underneath the skin, so you won’t have to worry about any damage on the upper skin layers or any adjacent tissue.

You may enjoy some immediate results after your treatment, but the full effects will manifest over two to three months as your body produces more collagen. Since the procedure relies on your body’s collagen production process, how long it takes for you to see results highly depends on you.

Another incredible benefit of HIFU is that it has very few side effects. You may experience flushed skin after treatment, but the redness should disappear after a few hours. Other clients have reported mild swelling or sensitive skin that feels tender to the touch, but they also subside after a few hours. 

Most people require only one treatment, although it heavily depends on one’s skin laxity and their body’s response to ultrasound energy. It also depends on the efficiency of their body’s collagen production. With these factors in mind, some clients may need additional treatments to enjoy their desired results. However, as everyone’s skin ages over time, a touch-up treatment once in a while will be necessary to maintain a smooth appearance.
