How does the treatment proceed?

  • An aesthetic HIFU treatment begins with a thorough consultation with an esthetician or nurse practitioner to determine if the treatment is right for your skin and needs. 
  • During the treatment, the skin is cleaned and a controughive gel is applied to smooth the skin and improve ultra sound transmission. 
  • The HIFU device is then moved across the skin to deliver targeted high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to the deep dermal layer within the skin.
  • Both collagen and elastin are produced in this layer.

What do you feel during the treatment?

  • During the treatment, you will notice a warm feeling in the face. Moreover, you may also feel a slight tingling or tingling sensation. At most you will experience some discomfort during the HIFU treatment. 
  • The treatment does not take much time either. Usually the job is done within thirty to sixty minutes done, depending on the area treated and the goals of the treatment.

Care before and after treatment

  • Before you undergo the HIFU treatment, it is important that you take some precautions. For example, as we mentioned earlier, you should take paracetamol 45 minutes before the treatment. Also, you should take collagen powder fourteen to thirty days before the treatment. 
  • Despite requiring virtually no recovery time after treatment, it is important to a healthy lifestyle maintain a healthy lifestyle. People who do not take good care of their skin and maintain an unhealthy lifestyle will not maintain results as long. So it is important to live a healthy lifestyle, do not smoke and to take good care of your skin properly in order to get the best results maintained. In addition, it is also important to take collagen powder after your treatment for optimal results.
  • In addition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is also important to maintain the quality of your skin by using good, medical skin and sun care products. You can do that, for example, with our Saraskin creams packed with skin-enhancing ingredients.
