What is HIFU?
HIFU or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to target layers of skin below the surface, encouraging the production of collagen.
This revolutionary treatment is helpful in tightening loose, sagging skin and it is effective in reducing the signs of ageing and improving the overall appearance of the skin.

Bodycraft's HIFU Process
• Please inform your doctor if you have any dental or metal implants, pacemakers or neurotransmitters.
• Those with oral cavities need to consult a dentist before the procedure.
• Isotretinoin should be avoided for 3 days before the treatment
• Avoid all skin irritants on the target area (including glycolic/salicylic acids, retinol products, vitamin C, etc).
• The target area is cleaned thoroughly.
• All make-up and skin care products are removed.
• A topical anaesthetic cream will be applied.
• Ultrasound gel is applied and the HIFU device is placed against the skin.
• Using an ultrasound viewer, the device is adjusted to the right setting.
• The ultrasound energy is delivered to the target area in short pulses for a specified duration.
• You might feel a bit of heat and tingling while the ultrasound is being applied.
• The device is removed and the area is cleaned.
• It is common to notice swelling and redness in the treated area for 3-7 days.
• It is recommended to apply cold compression on the treatment area after the procedure to minimise local edema.
• Waxing, tweezing and depilatory creams can be resumed three days after the treatment.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms and exercise for at least 3 days post-treatment.
• A non-exfoliant cleanser and a light moisturiser can be used on the day of the treatment.
• All skin irritants (including glycolic/salicylic acids, retinol products, vitamin C, etc) can be resumed three days after the procedure.

What Concerns Does HIFU Target?
Side Effects/Precautions for HIFU
There are no permanent side effects of HIFU. After the treatment, you may notice a little redness or swelling, but it will go away shortly. The tingling sensation may persist for one to two weeks before fading away. In rare cases, there might be minor numbness or a rash that goes away by itself.
People with severe or cystic acne, open skin lesions in the target region, infections, or metallic implants in the treatment area shouldn’t undergo the HIFU treatment.

FAQs for the HIFU Treatment
This procedure may not be appropriate for everyone. It works best on people above the age of 30, who have mild to moderate skin laxity. HIFU won’t work as well for people with more severe cases of sagging skin. People with photo-damaged skin or a high degree of loose skin may need several treatments before seeing results.
To maintain the look you’ve received after the HIFU treatment, you may have to get multiple sessions done. Typically, the results of the HIFU facelift can last up to 6 months.
There’s no recovery or downtime required after the treatment. You can go right back to your daily activities after the treatment.
All body types and skin types are different. So, the number of sessions will vary depending on the kind of results you are looking for. After a thorough consultation with our doctors, you will be advised on the number of sessions you will need.
