HIFU TREATMENT

HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound, is a popular treatment for facial ageing today. HIFU treatment uses ultrasound energy to help stimulate collagen production, leading to tighter, firmer skin. In Singapore, HIFU is often used for face lifting without the need for surgical procedures.

At Zion Aesthetic Clinic, we tailor this treatment based on your skin conditions while addressing all facets of ageing. The best aesthetic clinic uses evidence-based treatments and advanced technology to produce satisfying results.

With the use of focused ultrasound energy, the best HIFU treatment in Singapore reaches different layers of the skin without harming the upper surface. As the energy heats the tissue down below, it causes cell damage prompting the body to repair them by releasing collagen. An improved amount of collagen – a substance that forms the skin’s structure and elasticity – results in younger, glowing skin.

At Zion Aesthetic Clinic, we use HIFU to treat various facial areas, such as:

• Cheeks
• Jowl
• Double chins
• Forehead
• Nose

Safe and effective, HIFU Singapore is a non-invasive alternative for surgical facelifts. It has natural-looking results yet requires zero downtime. Other advantages of HIFU treatment include:

• Skin lifting
• Tightening of saggy skin
• Forming supple skin
• Defining facial structure
• Triggering natural production of collagen
• Reducing facial wrinkles

The number of required HIFU shots varies from patient to patient, depending on his or her condition and the size and area of the skin to be treated. This will be discussed during the consultation by the aesthetic doctor in Singapore.

HIFU treatment is ideal for people who are older than 30 with mild to moderate loose, sagging, uneven, or ageing skin. It’s beneficial for patients with forehead lines, dark eye circles, wrinkles, fat cheeks, double chins, frown lines, necklines, saggy jowls, and other skin laxities.

Skin with excessive photo-ageing and severely saggy skin may not be a good candidate for HIFU.

You should remove all makeup and skincare products from the treatment areas before the procedure.

During a HIFU session, your doctor may do the following:

• Step 1

  – Clean the target area

• Step 2

  – Apply a topical anaesthetic or numbing cream before the treatment

• Step 3

  – Apply an ultrasound gel

• Step 4

  – Then place the HIFU against the skin (there’s an ultrasound viewer that helps the doctor to adjust the settings and view the process)

• Step 5

  – Deliver the ultrasound energy to the target area within short pulses

• Step 6

  – Remove the device when done

You may return home and get back to your normal activities immediately following HIFU treatment.

Often, HIFU sessions take about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. It may take 90 minutes for the face and neck area treatment.

There’s virtually no downtime with HIFU treatment. While you may experience mild and temporary symptoms like slight redness, swelling, or tingling, you’ll be able to go back to your normal activities right away.

In most cases, HIFU Singapore delivers good results after 2 to 3 months that can last for up to 1 year, depending on your skin.

The number of treatments you need depends on the degree of skin laxity and your body’s response to the ultrasound energy. On average, you may need 2 HIFU sessions in your first year with six months apart. Afterward, you can choose to have one treatment per year to maintain the results.

HIFU is a safe and effective anti-ageing and tightening skin treatment. However, the person doing your treatment plays a huge role in the results that you’re getting. Make sure to get the right HIFU provider to achieve long-lasting and desirable results.
