Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Is Body Sculpting - Cavitation?Body sculpting using Cavitation machines involves the use of various technologies, including Bipolar Radio Frequency, Cavitation, Vacuum, and Lipo Laser, to achieve desired body sculpting.
-
What is Bipolar Radio Frequency?Bipolar Radio Frequency technology uses electromagnetic energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, which can stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and promote fat cell breakdown.
-
What is Ultrasonic Cavitation?Ultrasonic Cavitation technology uses ultrasound waves to create pressure and vibration in fat cells, causing them to break down and release their contents. It creates the heat that helps fat melt and be eliminated through the urinary system.
-
What is Lipo Laser?Lipo Laser technology is a non-invasive procedure that uses low-level laser energy to target and shrink fat cells. The fat is then released into the bloodstream and processed by the body.
-
What is Vaccum therapy?Vacuum therapy uses suction to improve blood flow and promote lymphatic drainage. It helps break down fat cells, specifically reducing cellulite, and tones and lifts the skin. The treatment also stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer body contour.

Who is a good candidate for HIFU?HIFU is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to tighten and lift their skin without surgery. It’s particularly effective for those who are starting to notice sagging or fine lines and want a more youthful appearance. HIFU can also benefit people looking to maintain skin firmness and elasticity as they age.
-
What are the potential side effects of HIFU?Side effects are rare but can include temporary redness, mild swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Some clients may experience slight bruising or tingling, but these are also temporary and uncommon.
-
Is HIFU safe?Yes, HIFU is a safe and FDA-approved treatment. It has been extensively researched and used in clinical settings with minimal risks. The technology is designed to specifically target the skin's deeper layers without affecting surrounding tissues, making it a safe option for non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
-
Are the results from HIFU permanent?The results of HIFU can last for an extended period, often up to 1-2 years, depending on factors like age, skin condition, and lifestyle. While HIFU stimulates long-term collagen production, the natural aging process will continue. Maintenance treatments can help preserve results over time.
-
How many HIFU sessions are required?For many clients, one session is sufficient to achieve noticeable results. However, some individuals may choose to have a second treatment 6 months after the first to maintain or enhance the effects. The need for additional treatments depends on individual goals and skin condition.
-
How soon will I see results from HIFU?Results develop gradually as collagen production increases in the weeks following the treatment. The most noticeable improvements typically appear within 2 to 3 months, with continued skin tightening for up to 6 months to one year as collagen remodeling continues.
-
Is there any downtime after the procedure?HIFU is a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime. After the procedure, you may experience mild redness or a sensation of tightness in the treated areas, but these effects typically subside within a few hours. Most clients resume normal activities immediately after treatment. You'll be treated with a soothing collagen mask, along with cold compression on your face and RED LED therapy to help reduce inflammation and redness.
-
Is the HIFU treatment painful?The procedure is generally well-tolerated. You may feel a mild sensation or warmth as the ultrasound waves target deeper layers of the skin. Some areas of the face may be more sensitive than others, but discomfort is typically minimal. The treatment is designed to be manageable for most people.
-
How long does a HIFU treatment take?Treatment times can vary depending on the area being treated. A full facial treatment typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes, while smaller areas may take less time. Sessions are relatively quick, allowing for minimal disruption to your schedule.
-
Which areas of the face and body can be treated with HIFU?HIFU is highly effective for treating various areas of the face: Jawline and Jowls: HIFU targets the lower face to tighten and lift the jawline and reduce sagging in the jowls, helping to define the contours of the face. Below the Corners of the Lips: This area, often referred to as the marionette lines, can show signs of sagging over time. HIFU helps tighten the skin here, lifting the corners of the mouth and reducing the appearance of these lines. Around the Eyes: HIFU can be used to treat crow’s feet and sagging skin around the eyes. It tightens the skin and stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, offering a refreshed, more youthful look. Forehead: HIFU can smooth out lines and wrinkles on the forehead, lifting and tightening the skin to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Neck and Décolletage: One of the most popular uses for HIFU is tightening the skin around the neck, helping to reduce the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. It also works on the décolletage area, improving overall skin texture and firmness.
-
HIFU vs. Botox & Fillers - Why Choose HIFU?HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting the skin naturally over time. Unlike Botox and dermal fillers, which provide immediate but temporary results for wrinkles and volume loss, HIFU works deep within the skin to provide long-lasting improvements in skin texture and tightness. The results from HIFU can last 1-2 years, while Botox typically lasts 3-4 months and fillers 6-12 months. HIFU is ideal for those looking for a natural, gradual lift without the need for regular touch-ups or injections, making it a cost-effective and safe choice for long-term skin rejuvenation.

Is HIFU a safer alternative to Botox or Dermal Fillers?HIFU is an ideal choice for those who want to avoid the potential side effects or risks of repeated Botox or dermal filler treatments, such as future facial damage or volume loss. It offers a safe, non-invasive, and natural alternative for lifting and rejuvenating the skin without the need for injections or frequent maintenance.
-
What is High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU, and how does it work?HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin. The focused ultrasound waves stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting the skin over time. This results in a firmer, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery.
