What is HIFU and how does it work? 

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into our skin, beyond the outer layers to heat up our body’s superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which is a layer of muscles and connective tissue that is rich in collagen to stimulates collagen production and thus, firming up loose, saggy skin. 

What are the benefits of HIFU? 

HIFU skin firming and tightening is a treatment that comes with many benefits, and the fact that is has minimal to no downtime is a huge bonus for us since most of us are busy adults. 

 HIFU can be used to:  

• Lift and tighten skin for face and neck 
• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines 
• Enhance jawline definition 
• Tighten the décolletage 

What can I treat with HIFU? 

HIFU can help us tackle sagging skin, fine lines, or wrinkles. It’s a go-to for those seeking a natural lift and firmness without going under the knife. Plus, HIFU isn’t just limited to the face – it can also target areas like: 

• Face 
• Neck 
• Décolletage 
• Arms 
• Abdomen 
• Outer and inner thighs 
• Hips 

What is Exilis Ultra 360 Eye Rejuvenation? 

Exilis Ultra 360, a non-invasive, US FDA-approved treatment, combines radio frequency and ultrasound to lift and tighten skin, including the undereye area. The Exilis Ultra 360 Eye Rejuvenation stimulates collagen growth, reduces dark eye circles and fine lines by addressing volume loss under the eyes. 

Where can I treat with Exilis Ultra 360? 

Besides the eye area, other areas that can be treated include the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. 

Exilis Ultra 360 also has a larger handpiece that can also be used on your body to firm loose saggy skin that is a result of weight loss, ageing, or post-body contouring. 

What are the benefits of Exilis Ultra 360? 

Exilis Ultra 360 provides a comprehensive solution for patients seeking non-invasive skin rejuvenation and tightening.  

• Safe And Effective: Combines two medically-proven technologies and is approved by the US FDA. 
• No Downtime: Lifts and tightens skin with non-invasive technique and hence no need for surgery. 
• Natural-Looking Results: Stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration to smooth fine lines and make your skin supple again. 

What are the benefits of pairing Exilis Ultra 360 Eye Rejuvenation with HIFU? 

Exilis Ultra 360 Eye Rejuvenation is a great pairing treatment with HIFU Face Rejuvenation. This is because Exilis Ultra 360 comes with a smaller handpiece with a rounded tip that fits the curves around our eye area. This targets the small yet delicate area around our eyes to lift and tighten the skin that cannot be reached by HIFU. 

By pairing these two treatments, they offer benefits such as: 

• Improved Dark Circles: Exilis Ultra 360 helps to reduce dark circles by addressing hollowness under our eyes. The thinning of our skin makes our blood vessels under our eyes more obvious. All these contribute to the appearance of dark shadows under our eye. Skin tightening with Exilis Ultra 360 combined with HIFU addresses loss of collagen and tightens loose skin which improves the appearance of dark eye circles. 
• Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Combining the treatments maximises the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, with Exilis Ultra 360 smoothing the skin surface near the eye area and HIFU providing deeper skin tightening around the face. 
• Longer Lasting Results: The synergistic effect of both treatments can prolong and enhance the longevity of results, ensuring that the both the face and undereye area remains firm, smooth, and youthful looking for a longer period. 

However, at least three sessions of HIFU are recommended for optimal result. 

Other FAQs about HIFU 

Is HIFU treatment safe? 

HIFU is a safe and effective non-invasive procedure. There may be some redness or mild swelling after the treatment, but these typically subside quickly. It is important to choose a reputable and qualified provider in Singapore for your HIFU treatment to ensure optimal results and safety. 

How long is a HIFU treatment session? 

It typically takes about 1 hour a session, depending on the area being treated. 

How many HIFU sessions are usually needed to see results? 

Typically, individuals may start witnessing the first signs of improvement after just one session, but the effects unfold gradually over time. To achieve that youthful glow and maximise the collagen-boosting effects, a series of sessions is often recommended. 

Results can vary depending on the individual and the specific treatment goals. However, it is recommended to do three monthly sessions for optimal results. 

Are there any side effects with HIFU? 

HIFU is a safe treatment and has minimal side effects. Patients may see temporary redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness in the treated areas but they tend to subside quickly, so there is no need to worry too much about it. 

What to expect during a HIFU treatment? 

During a HIFU treatment session, patients may feel a prickling sensation under the skin as the ultrasound energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. However, most patients find the treatment quite manageable. Patients may also feel a mild warm sensation on the treated area or a mild ache over the bony areas, such as the jawline, during treatment.
