Before & After

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions, cant find an answer? Get in touch and we will be happy to help!

Will HIFU with 3D-Hifu hurt?

Most people experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, often described as a warm tingling sensation. The technician can adjust the energy levels for added comfort, and some clinics offer topical anesthetic cream. Remember, everyone's pain tolerance varies, so be sure to communicate your comfort level with your doctor.

How long do the results of HIFU with 3D-Hifu last?

The results can last for 1-2 years, but they gradually fade over time as your body's natural aging process continues. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, using sunscreen regularly, and considering occasional maintenance treatments can help you enjoy the lifted and rejuvenated appearance for longer.

How long does it take to see results from HIFU with 3D-Hifu?

You might see subtle improvements in skin tightness within a few weeks as collagen starts to build. However, the full results, with significant lifting and wrinkle reduction, typically take 2-3 months as collagen production increases. Be patient and remember, individual results may vary depending on your skin and treatment goals.
