HIFU TREATMENT
Get youthful, smooth, tighter-looking skin! The Asthetic Edge HIFU treatment is a cutting-edge, non-invasive procedure that uses highly focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen in the targeted layers of skin to tighten the area.
What is HIFU?
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive treatment utilizing high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to target layers of skin beneath the surface, promoting the production of collagen.
This groundbreaking treatment is beneficial for tightening loose, sagging skin and proves effective in reducing signs of aging, enhancing the overall appearance of the skin.

The Aesthetic Edge HIFU Treatment Process
- Consultation: A detailed consultation with a specialist to assess your skin condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if HIFU is suitable for you.
- Preparation: Cleanse the treatment area thoroughly and avoid applying makeup or skincare products before the session.
- Planning: The specialist will mark the areas to be treated and discuss the expected outcomes and any potential side effects.
- Application of Gel: A special ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area to facilitate the transmission of ultrasound waves.
- Ultrasound Delivery: The HIFU device is moved across the skin, delivering focused ultrasound energy at precise depths. You may feel a slight tingling or warm sensation as the energy is delivered.
- Real-Time Imaging: The specialist uses real-time imaging to ensure accurate targeting of the deeper skin layers, optimizing the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Immediate Effects: Some patients may notice a slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours.
- Post-Treatment Care: No specific post-treatment care is required, but it’s advised to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly.
- Gradual Improvement: The skin’s natural healing response will gradually produce new collagen, with improvements in skin tightness and texture becoming more noticeable over the following weeks and months.
- Follow-Up: A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to monitor progress and determine if additional sessions are needed for optimal results.
