Patients who have already tried the HIFU treatment are eager to return for more. Still, not everyone knows what it is and how often it is worth repeating the treatment for best results.
What is the HIFU treatment?
The principle of HIFU is explained by its English name: high-intensity focused ultrasound, or a focused beam of long-range sound waves. Most people know that lasers can be used for body treatments. Few people realize, however, that sound waves are also used.
Sound waves at a concert can make you feel the bass inside your body. Ultrasound is not audible to humans. They can be weapons, but dolphins or whales also communicate on these frequencies. A concentrated, powerful beam of wavescan strongly heat the skin locally at great depth. The micro-burns produced immediately begin to heal.Thus, the skin is forced to regenerate more intensively than usual: collagen production, improved tension and rapid renewal. In this way, areas such as:
- shoulders,
- face,
- Eye area,
- Knee area,
- thighs,
- abdomen,
- chin
For HIFU Beauty Skin treatment in Warsaw, as well as in our Radom branch, we use SonoQueen equipment, as well as Ultraskin II Absolute.
How often can HIFU be done?
A question that is asked quite regularly in our Beauty Skin offices in Warsaw is: how often can you do HIFU on the buttocks or face? For most problems, the HIFU treatment needs to be repeated 2-3 times to achieve the ideal result. The ideal intervals are 1-3 months. At the same time, it is worth realizing that the effects of the treatment cannot be seen immediately. The skin will be slightly tighter after the session. However, it will take up to several months for it to be truly rebuilt.
That’s why it’s a treatment for people who like a lasting and clear effect rather than an immediate improvement in appearance. HIFU will be the perfect part of a life revolution planned over a longer period of time to have lasting effects. At Beauty Skin, we always discuss the frequency of HIFU treatments individually with the patient. In some cases, just one treatment will have the desired effect, but this depends on a number of factors, such as age, predisposition and the speed of skin healing in a particular patient.
HIFU – when to start, how long does the effect last?
Most people opt for HIFU treatment when they want to improve their appearance in a spectacular way. It often has to do with major life changes, such as post-pregnancy or drastic weight loss. The best results appear in people of average body build and middle age – in people who are too young and very thin, the effects are less. Therefore, it is assumed that the lower limit for this treatment is age approx. 35 years. Want to know more about HIFU facial treatment?
