How does HIFU facial Treatment work?

Yes but somehow it is relatively safe for most skin types that is why it has been widely used today. The procedure has received approval from the Food & Drugs Administration for skin lifting and tightening through the process of EMR technology with few incidents of risks or side effects. However, it has to be mentioned that the treatment should be done by a specialist in this craft.

The effects of HIFU treatment might take from 6 months to 1 year if the skin and the general condition of the patient is well maintained and does not affect the side of the skin where treatment was administered. These are suggested if results have to be drawn out for the longest periods possible.

Some of the possible side effects of the treatment are erythema, oedema, tingling, or skin sensitivity at the site of application. These effects are normally short term and the side effects disappear after several hours to several days. Sometimes, there might be bleeding at the site or feeling of numbness in some of the patients.

Most people will require one session to see their face change, the number of sessions required greatly depends on the skin condition and the expected improvement. For the better or longer-lasting results, more sessions could be done 6-12 months later.

Overall, it has been established that HIFU falls in the category of well-tolerated procedures; however, there are some patients who may experience such discomforts as tingling during the treatment due to the focussed ultrasound energy that is directed on deeper skin tissues. Local anaesthesia is then used in the form of creams that inhibit the feeling of pain

HIFU treatment cost in Vietnam is also different from clinic and the area that needs to be treated. Thus the cost of the facial HIFU ranges on average between 500 and 2500 dollars. The body treatments may cost more than the facial treatments because more area of the body is covered.

 HIFU can be applied to the face and more specifically to the area of the brow, chin, neck and cheek. It is also ideal for profiling especially the abdomen area, thighs and arms to do away with fat deposits and for skin tightening too.

HIFU treatment is suitable for patients with mild to moderately loose skin typically in the age bracket of 30 to 60 years. It is also good for people who would want to avoid surgery in their facial or body lifting procedures.

Most of the deterring effects occur soon after treatment, but the best results are achieved in 2-3 months as the skin begins to produce its collagen. The skin will go on improving in the subsequent months that follow the beginning of this treatment.

HIFU treatment is not meant for weight loss but for addressing body shaping and cellulite, localised fat reduction and skin tightening. It works well to tone areas such as the stomach, thighs and upper arms and is not a method of weight loss.
