HIFU Pros and Cons

| | From: ADSS

HIFU Pros

  • 1.Allows precise, MRI Fusion guided ultrasound energy delivery to the prostate

  • 2.Due to its ability to induce volume reduction, it is suitable for treating excess fats, saggy skin, jowls, and fatty areas like the double chin or chubby cheeks. Matured patients between 40 to 60 years old who would like to stave off ageing can consider opting for HIFU.

  • Less wrinkles – a major benefit of HIFU treatments are that they assist in noticable wrinkle reduction.

  • 3.Tighter skin – the most noticeable of results is always the tightening of sagging skin. Not only tighter skin, but overall smoother skin (who needs filters with smooth skin). 

  • 4.Unexpected lift – tighter skin and less wrinkles results in an overall lifting of the appearance of the face, such as lifting the cheeks, eyelids or eyebrows. 

  • 5.Enhancing the jawline – if your HIFU treatment was specifically to treat the skin around the jawline and neck, it results in enhancing your natural jawline. 

HIFU Cons

  • 1.After the facial treatment, you can resume your activities immediately because the high-intensity ultrasound has not damaged the skin’s upper layers. Nevertheless, slight swelling and redness may occur, although it will subside quickly. You may also be slightly sensitive to touch or experience a slight tingling feeling, which may persist for one or two weeks. During rare occurrences, temporary local numbness and bruising may also occur.

  • 2.While the said side effects may vary with individuals, they usually do not last long. Contraindications for HIFU facial treatment include mental implants, blood disorders and silicone injections. RT Aesthetics will ensure that everything is explained fully during the consultation and will provide all after care as needed.

  • 3.HIFU continues to gain popularity as one of the best facelift techniques, and it is endorsed not only by cosmetologists but clients alike. It is evident why that may be the case considering the numerous pros which outweigh the cons associated with the treatment.
