Nonsurgical skin lifting has become one of the most sought after treatments in recent years and although there are many similar treatments that can effectively target the upper layers of the skin, HIFU works even more effectively.
The reason for its increased effectivity is that HIFU has the unique ability to target points at multiple layers beneath the skin’s surface. HIFU (or high intensity focused ultrasound) has become known as the “lunchtime facelift” or ultrasound facelift. A single session can produce results, with a noticeable improvement in wrinkles becoming visible in three to six months, lasting up to three years.
Within the medical industry, HIFU has a long history of effective treatment and this amazing technology is now applied in advanced face and body sculpting treatments. If you’re considering this method, read on to find out whether HIFU really works.
HIFU Treatments In Sydney and the Gold Coast
At SABA Medispa in Sydney and on the Gold Coast, we can absolutely recommend HIFU as a number one choice in non-invasive alternatives. Although it is a relatively new cosmetic treatment, we have experience with thousands of procedures, and the results have spoken for themselves.
HIFU makes use of ultrasonic energy to penetrate deep below the skin and fat layers of the face to gently but effectively target connective tissue. This connective tissue is a layer that supports the neck and facial contours and will start to sag as a result of ageing. HIFU has a tightening effect on the loose connective tissue, restoring firmness to areas of sagging skin and resulting in a visible lifting effect. The layer of tissue targeted is the same tissue that would be tightened during a surgical facelift.
In most cases, only one treatment of HIFU is required to achieve the desired results with no recovery time whatsoever.
Best Results
The advantage of HIFU is that improvements can be seen reasonably quickly, with maximum results expected after three to six months. The stimulating effect of HIFU promotes the production of new collagen, which does happen over a period of time. This will help your skin regain its natural, youthful elasticity.
Unlike some non-invasive treatments which require a course of treatments over several months, HIFU ideally requires only a single treatment. Results, however, may vary from person to person. Occasionally a follow-up treatment may be necessary depending on your responsiveness to the procedure. At SABA Medispa, we offer a complimentary review, follow up and touch up service three months after your procedure.
The ideal candidate for the treatment would be someone with mild to moderate skin sagging of the face, neck or eye area. Clients who have more compromised skin quality may still benefit from the treatment but could require two to three treatments and less dramatic outcomes may be achieved.
As with any treatment, HIFU is not a one size fits all solution and it would be best to discuss your treatment options with one of our friendly therapists at our Sydney or Gold Coast clinics. If you have mild to moderate signs of aging and sagging or wrinkles, you stand to experience excellent results with a fresh, youthful appearance after treating yourself to the HIFU alternative.
At Saba Medispa, we have highly trained and experienced professionals available in Sydney and the Gold Coast to provide your HIFU treatment in the safest and most effective way. For tightening and firming of the skin, HIFU offers a beautiful alternative that is non-invasive and quick.
What is HIFU?
HIFU technology is not like lasers, radio frequency, surgery and other technologies. It is non-surgical. The HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) beams through the surface of the skin to deliver precise and fractional ultrasound energy at the right depths (i.e., 3.0mm/4.5mm) to the SMAS layer without damage or disrupting the epidermal tissue of the skin. This energy stimulates both muscle firming and new collagen production, with no disruption to the outer skin surface (no scarring). It is especially suitable for treating sagging skin with reasonable thickness as well.
HIFU Facelift
HIFU Treatment (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a breakthrough, non-invasive, non-surgical, no downtime, in-office procedure for lifting and tightening sagging skin of the brows, cheeks, lower face (jowls), jawline and neck. Ultrasound technology is focused below the skin surface to firm and lift droopy tissues.
It works deep below the surface to stimulate the growth of collagen “without harming the outer layer of skin”. This results in long-lasting firming, tightening and lifting of the skin, giving you a more youthful appearance after just one treatment. While HIFU is not a replacement for a surgical face lift, there are many people who want some lifting but are not ready for surgery. There are also younger people who are looking to prolong the effects of plastic surgery.
How long do the results of HIFU last?
HIFU results are permanent and will continue improving gradually for up to six months following the treatment. You will not be frozen in time. After six months, as with any age defying treatment, your skin will naturally continue to age but HIFU can give you fresher, younger looking skin for approximately 12 to 24 months after your treatment. Follow up treatments can assist with the ageing process, which varies from person to person, but are recommended every 12 to 24 months to maintain results.
Fractional RF is also very effective at protecting and maintaining your HIFU results. RF treatment can be done one month after the HIFU treatment.
Contra indications
People who have open lesions or wounds, cystic acne, existing keloid scarring, mechanical or dermal implants, skin fillers or other injectables, implanted electrical devices or metal implants in the face or treated area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, angiocardiopathy (heart), hypertension, liver and kidney diseases, skin disease, including AIDS & HIV, highly sensitive skin or allergic skin (including protein allergy) should not proceed with HIFU.
How safe is HIFU?
HIFU uses the safe, time-tested ultrasound, which has been effective in clinical studies and over 350,000 patient treatments worldwide. Ultrasound has been used safely in the medical field for over 50 years. HIFU is one of the few treatments safe for all skin types, as it uses ultrasound and bypasses the upper layers of skin where the pigment cells are located.
Are there any side effects from HIFU?
HIFU may cause a slight redness to the skin, but this usually disappears within a matter of hours after the treatment. Face can feel like it has had a workout for several weeks afterwards. Makeup application after the treatment can be made to mask any mild redness that may have occurred. Some people may also suffer from a slight swelling, tenderness, numbness or tingling sensation. These symptoms are usually mild and only last temporarily.
How painful is HIFU?
HIFU may cause some discomfort. Comfort levels can vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the energy is being delivered.
During the treatment delivery, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.
After Your Treatment
There is no downtime! You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements. Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours.
Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any medical procedure, there is the possibility for other rare effects.
HIFU Facial Uplift Pricing
If you want your whole face treated in the one procedure, come to SABA Medispa. HIFU Mini is included in our HIFU Premium package and is currently priced at $1,530 for the whole lot – HIFU face and neck uplift PLUS a HIFU Mini around your eyes (including eye lids and eye bags) and around your lips (top and bottom).
For any questions on HIFU treatments please contact us to arrange a consultation. Treatments will only be performed after a consultation – this is to ensure we can offer the correct treatment for the best and long lasting results.
36 hour cancellation policy: When booking for your treatment, please make sure that you can attend your appointment at the allocated time. If you cancel your appointment within 36 hours of your treatment, we will need to keep your deposit to cover our costs.
What is HIFU Glow Facial?
HIFU GLOW facial is a new treatment add on to our HIFU technology for face and neck uplift. We can now treat sensitive areas around the mouth and eyes at a depth of 1.5 mm which produces incredible results extremely quickly. Some of our customers get immediate results – radiant, plumped and more youthful skin.
This is also an excellent alternative to plasma cosmetic treatment around the mouth and eyes, but with no down time. For those customers with darker skin that cannot be treated with plasma, this is the best way to go.
HIFU Glow Facial Price List
Face $500
Face & Neck $700
Add on to HIFU $300 (If you are already having your HIFU face and neck treatment, you can purchase this upgrade at the clinic to target specific areas around the eyes and the mouth).
More Information: Regular HIFU is done at two depths: 4.5mm and 3mm. That is for general face lifting and skin tightening. We cannot use these two cartridges too close to the mouth and eyes. That is why we use the 1.5 mm cartridge for sensitive areas around the mouth and eyes. When applied to general face and neck areas (like the 4.5 mm and 3 mm cartridges, HIFU glow produces quicker results by being very effective at dealing with fine lines. All our HIFU machines are 3D HIFU machines. It is a matter of which cartridges are used for the treatment. 3D simply means we apply the procedure at three different depths of the skin.
What is HIFU Mini or Mini HIFU?
You will not find this anywhere else – EXCLUSIVE to SABA Medispa. We are the only clinic with Mini HIFU technology on the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas. HIFU Mini is a completely different device from 3D HIFU. It has a much smaller wand (pen like) which allows us to get into small and tight spaces that cannot be reached with a regular HIFU device with a very large wand/cartridge. It goes at a depth of 1.5mm which allows us to treat the eyelids & eye bags.
Look at the photo results immediately after one treatment – one eye has been treated and the other one hasn’t. Look at the eye bags!!! Quite a noticeable change!!!
Tightens the skin
Smoothes marionette lines/nasolabial folds
Lifts the top eyelid and smoothes lines underneath the eye
Smoothes crows feet and frown lines
Around the mouth (smoker’s lines)
Special price applies to our existing HIFU customers – $500 for Mini HIFU around the eyes and around the mouth, or $250 for one area only (eyes or mouth).
New customers price:
$350 around the eyes
$400 around the mouth
$700 for eyes and mouth in one session.
Treatment can be repeated again if you want to improve your results.
P. S. We have just realised that a number of clinics on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane have copied our advertising and have now included a HIFU Mini on their treatment menu – BUT they haven’t bought a new machine required for the job.???
They are simply using their existing HIFU machine and a 1.5 mm cartridge to sell and perform this procedure. We call this HIFU Glow Facial, but it certainly isn’t HIFU Mini. The standard size HIFU handle and associated cartridges are simply way to large to get into small spaces and treat all the sensitive areas shown on our picture.
After care and advice post HIFU treatme
There is no downtime! You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure.
The skin may be slightly pink or red in areas following the treatment, only use cool water when washing the face.
Expect that the treated area to feel sore to touch for up to 4 weeks.
Slight to mild swelling can occur – this is normal. Ice packs and a steroid cream can be applied to calm if necessary. If minor scabs appear avoid picking, allow the skin to heal.
Makeup (preferably mineral based) may be applied immediately post treatment. Soothing, non-irritating creams or moisturisers may be used.
Avoid sun exposure immediately after the treatment and apply minimum of 30+
Avoid exfoliating or products containing aha/bha’s for at least a week or until all sensitivity has subsided.
Avoid strenuous exercise/straining of the treated area(s) for 3-4 weeks. For the first 2 days post treatment don’t exert treated area however light exercise such as walking is fine.
Increase protein intake to boost the skin healing and collagen regeneration process.
Taking a vitamin C supplement is beneficial for collagen synthesis and is a vital nutrient for skin health.
HIFU Body Sculpting
HIFU body sculpting is a non-invasive treatment for removing stubborn body fat, skin toning and tightening. HIFU Body treatments are the latest in non-invasive technology to target specific areas of fat in the quickest way possible. Only one treatment is required to achieve the results and there is no downtime. HIFU offers a real natural alternative to lipo-suction or surgery.
In a Body Sculpting treatment the HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) penetrates through the surface of the skin to deliver the precise and fractional focused ultrasound energy into the subcutaneous fat layer (@ 6.0 & 8.0mm – underarm / back areas and 13.0 & 16.0 mm for the abdomen, buttocks, thigh areas), and at the right temperature (60~70°C), without damaging or disrupting the epidermal tissue (surface) of the skin.
Body areas treatable with our HIFU technology include the: abdomen, arms, bra fat, flanks, buttocks, decolletage inner thighs and outer thighs. When your weight is stable and you want to remove that stubborn body fat, this could be the ideal treatment for you. HIFU is not used for weight loss and the best results are achieved when your body weight is stable and you have a healthy lifestyle.
What results can I expect to see?
HIFU Body treatment destroys fat cells in the area treated being treated thus reducing the visible size of the targeted area. Some results may be seen in around 1-2 weeks after treatment, however, significant results are usually seen after 8 to 10 weeks as the ablated contents of the fat cells are gradually flushed away via the normal blood circulation and lymphatic systems. Further the process of collagen and elastin synthesis, improving skin elasticity, tone and texture, continues for up to 3 months – on this basis it is recommended that follow up treatments, if required, are performed at least 3 months after the initial treatment. Like HIFU facial uplift, HIFU Body Sculpting is very effective for lifting and tightening the skin.
How long do the results of HIFU last?
HIFU results are permanent and will continue to improve gradually for up to 3 months following the treatment. As with any age defying treatment your skin will naturally continue to age but HIFU can give you fresher, younger looking skin for approximately 12 to 24 months after your treatment.
HIFU YOUR GUNS – One treatment, 2 weeks later!!!
Contra indications
People who have open lesions or wounds, cystic acne, existing keloid scarring, mechanical or dermal implants, skin fillers or other injectables, implanted electrical devices or metal implants in the face or treated area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, angiocardiopathy (heart), hypertension, liver and kidney diseases, skin disease, including AIDS & HIV, highly sensitive skin or allergic skin (including protein allergy) should not proceed with HIFU.

LED Light Therapy
Who would have thought that scientific experiments conducted by NASA on how to grow plants in space would have lead to the most significant break through the beauty industry has ever seen. Like most accidental discoveries NASA were not looking at ways to reduce wrinkles or make women look 10 years younger but were surprised to discover that the LED lights they were experimenting with as a means to grow plants in space helped astronauts recover faster from injuries sustained during weightlessness.
LED activates skin cells with pulses of low level, non thermal light energy. The cell converts light energy into fuel (much like photosynthesis) in turn stimulating the cells to produce proteins and lipids essential for building and repairing the skin. More research confirmed that LED could speed healing, reduce inflammation and stimulate fibroblasts and collagen production, by as much as 200% within just 24 hours of treatment!
Given LED photo-stimulation can provide the skin cells with the energy to heal faster and produce more collagen it makes sense that it would also be able to fix minor damage. Trials were undertaken on sun damaged, pigmented and wrinkled skin. One trial published in the highly respected journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that a 20 minute LED treatment for 12 weeks had a positive smoothing effect in 83% of subjects and improved skin tone for an incredible 91%!
Another study in the US found that it had a positive effect on crow’s feet for 81% of the test volunteers.
What is LED Light Therapy?
LED is non-invasive with no downtime so you walk out looking and feeling great. You will see immediate results – after the first treatment the skin feels tighter, more alive due to the increased circulation, oxygenation and moisture. You will also notice a softening of the lines and folds, an increase of inner skin firmness as a result and healthy glow and skin rejuvenation.LED (light emitting diode) technology, a scientific process that uses wavelengths in the visible light spectrum to send calibrated packets of light into the dermal layer, setting off a frenzy of cellular activity to produce softer, more youthful looking skin.
Promotes collagen and elastin production and oxygenation for up to 180 days after treatment
Increases cellular activity, calming and soothing
Anti-inflammatory, strengthens capillary walls and Rosacea
Energizing and rejuvenating skin
Promotes intercellular communication
Purifying antibacterial, blemished and oily skin n
LED Light Therapy
The body is made up of cells that are generally capable of healing and reproducing on their own using naturally occurring cellular energy known as adenosine triphospate or ATP. When the skin is damaged, ATP stimulates cell regeneration to heal and restore the injured area. Factors such as poor nutrition, a person’s age, and the general condition of the skin determine how slow or how fast cells may heal. Scientific studies also found that light can stimulate the production of ATP for better cell renewal otherwise known as photo rejuvenation. Skin care specialists take advantage of the therapeutic effects of light by using LED (for Light Emitting Diode Technology) to heal skin conditions during a light therapy session. Not just any light ray may be used to stimulate skin cells. There are harmful rays that can burn the skin or cause skin cancer. LED is ideal for light therapy because it emits a low level power that does not irritate or burn the skin.
How LED Light Therapy works
Your Skin is made up of 3 layers: the Epidermis, the Dermis and the Subcutaneous.
The Epidermis is the outer layer made up of non-living cells that form your body’s protective cover. These cells are constantly being shed and replaced by new ones. The new cells are made in the lower part of the Epidermis. These are called Keratinocytes which produce the tough, fibrous protein called Keratin.
The next layer is the Dermis. It is thicker and contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. There are two main proteins in the Dermis or second layer of skin:
Collagen, approximately 3/4 of the Dermis is made up of this protein which is responsible for the strength and plumpness of the skin
Elastin, which is responsible mainly for the elasticity of the skin.
The next layer is the Subcutaneous, it is the layer that contains the fatty tissues and stores energy, provides warmth and a cushion etc.People need certain wavelengths of light similar to the way plants need sunlight to thrive.
LED Light Therapy translates the process of plant photosynthesis into the workings of human skin cells; stimulating the body’s own cells to build new proteins the same way plants use Chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular building blocks.Your skin and other body tissues have the ability to absorb light and use it as a source of energy to stimulate cellular regeneration. The light rays that are emitted from LED are beneficial for your skin, as they contain no UV rays. The problem with getting these same light rays from the sun is that you also get the harmful UV rays. These harmful rays can do more damage to your skin than good. With LED Light Therapy, when the correct wavelengths of light are closely and intensely flowed into the body, some pretty startling things start to occur:
Collagen and Elastin are produced in cells called Fibroblasts. Inside these cells is a smaller cellular structure called Mitochondria.Mitochondria are responsible for converting nutrients into an energy carrier known scientifically as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
This (ATP) fuels the cell’s activities; it basically gives the cells the needed energy to do their job.
This is the reason Mitochondria are frequently referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.
LED sends light rays into the Fibroblast cells, which in turn excite the Mitochondria into producing in some cases up to 10 times more ATP, but usually 2 to 4 times. This fuels the cell’s activities, which causes more of the needed Collagen and Elastin to be produced, as well as other needed materials for the skin. The Collagen plumps up the skin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles while the Elastin helps to firm skin that has began to sag. This whole LED Light Therapy process results in skin that appears more youthful, smoother, healthier and more radiant!

Red light for skin rejuvenation increases collagen production.
Blue light for acne by targeting bacteria that causes acne.
Yellow light energising skin, improves skin immunity and gives radiance and glow.
Green light calming and soothing effect on the skin. It is used to treat dilated capillaries, sagging skin around the eyes, under eye circles, hyperpigmentation and sun spots.
Purple light is the combination of red light and blue light, gives benefits of both lights combined together.
Orange light improves skin’s metabolism and detoxifying for the skin.
Session
You may start a session with a micro-dermabrasion procedure to remove dead skin cells for more effective light penetration. Specific lights are then beamed at areas to be treated for a few minutes. Depending on ones age, skin tone, diet, and lifestyle, results may be observed immediately or after a series of sessions held one week apart. Some may need 6 to 8 sessions to see dramatic results on their skin. In between sessions, the specialist may prescribe topical skin treatments or a skin care regimen to complement and boost the effects of the LED light therapy sessions. Maintenance treatment may also follow at least once or twice a month.
How long has this technology been around?
It has been used in Europe for 30 years.
This technology was developed by NASA to improve wound healing and tissue growth in space. It assisted with tired and fatigued astronauts upon their return. The potential of this technology was uncovered and introduced into the medical markets. It is used in the medical field to treat babies with jaundice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is LED safe?
YES! It has been proven in numerous studies that Far Red to Near- Infrared(670nm) LED photo rejuvenation does not harm the human body. The energy delivered is safe for all skin types.
How long before client can see results?
You should notice a healthy glow after the first treatment on your client’s skin. However, each person responds at different rates. Factors that influence this include various physical conditions, age, diet, alcohol consumption, prescription drug usage, smoking, exercise, etc.
Can LED treatment be used on someone who has been treated recently with injections?
No, Fillers will not be affected negatively with the Fractional Radio Frequency treatment. You can just make sure that you give your face/treated area two weeks before/after the next treatment.
Did you know it is great for bruises, it makes it go away much more quickly than bruises typically do.
The research NASA did showed tremendous benefits for inflammatory and circulatory conditions. You’ll be pleased with the results!
How many treatments?
It may vary anywhere from 8 to 12. For best results, it is recommended that treatments are 2-3 days apart.
Fantastic after peel, micro-dermabrasion, skin needling or Non- surgical facelift
What about maintenance?
Maintenance as with any other skincare treatment is highly recommended to ensure lasting results.
On average maintenance treatment every 4 to 6 weeks.
Does the skin feel different?
The treatments and results begin within the skin, right at the heart of the cell. After the first treatment the skin feels tighter, more alive. Due to the increased circulation, oxygenation and moisture, you will notice a softening of the lines and folds, an increase of inner skin firmness as a result and healthy glow and skin rejuvenation.
How long do the results last?
Results have been known to last for from 6 – 12 months. Top up treatments are required after the initial course for optimum results at 6 to 8 weekly intervals.
Are there any side effects?
If is safe and effective for all skin types, ethnic and age groups. These treatments have no undesirable side effects and no downtime for the client.

Before the HIFU treatment
Additional information – Please read through the following if you are interested in a HIFU treatment (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound).HIFU is based on ultrasound technology that gives the result of a face uplift without invasive surgery. The treatment is unlike injectables as it will not give you a frozen or puffed-out look but rather a natural skin tightening and a lift that will allow you to keep the character in your face and leave you looking 5-10 years younger!
Your friends will notice that your skin has a new texture, looking fresh and amazing but won’t know what you have done as HIFU produces a natural rejuvenation look!
Consultations and Paperwork
We charge a nominal fee of $50 for our consultations. A HIFU consultation will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Your $50 consultation fee will count towards your deposit. If you decide to go ahead with the treatment, we will ask you to pay a deposit before the treatment is booked. Full face and neck HIFU treatment will take approximately 2.5 hours (including photographs). Body sculpting treatments vary in duration from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours.
Payment plan customers will also be asked to fill in a payment plan form before we book you in for your treatment. Completed payment plans must be submitted at least one week prior to your treatment.
You will also be required to fill in a client form prior to the treatment and we will take photos. We will then mark the areas of your face that are being treated. Following this the HIFU machine will then applied to the face, neck or body in the desired areas sending high intensity ultrasound pulses focused deep into the muscle layer. As this energy is delivered collagen starts to build and repair. This process begins immediately and the whole process will continue for up to 6 months. Over this time all levels of the skin down to the muscle layer will continue to heal repair and tighten.
If you are sensitive to pain, you might choose to self-medicate half an hour before the treatment to make the experience more comfortable. You CAN go home straight after the treatment unless you have self-medicated in which case you should make travel arrangements.
36 hour cancellation policy: When booking for your treatment, please make sure that you can attend your appointment at the allocated time. If you cancel your appointment within 36 hours of your treatment, we will need to keep your deposit to cover our costs.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure which gently resurfaces the skin. It exfoliates and remove the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells to improve the texture and quality of your skin.This exfoliation is performed with medical grade mineral crystals or diamond tip which brushes the skin’s surface creating a gentle vacuum. This action removes dead and damaged cells at the skin’s surface. By eliminating these surface cells, the skin is left soft and supple while forcing the regeneration of new skin cells.
Microdermabrasion is a superior skin exfoliation and the client will see rapid visible results* by allowing erosion of the epidermal layers at varying depths in a safe controlled manner for all skin conditions, minimising skin trauma. It mechanically alters the epidermis and invigorates cell renewal to create a healthy, balanced skin surface. It is then possible to improve or eliminate may skin conditions and imperfections.
The benefits include:
Reduction of minor to moderate early aging fine lines, with stimulation of fibroblasts for collagen reproduction
Scar revision
Overall skin rejuvenation
Enhanced topical active ingredient penetration
May be performed during pregnancy
Assists and enhances healing due to increased blood flow
Great immediate results
Smoother, Fresher and Healthier looking skin.

Fractional Radio Frequency – Information & Aftercare.
This technology is ideal for: skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. It improves skin laxity, wrinkle reduction, pore reduction, acne and surgical scar reduction and stretch marks. Unlike the traditional laser therapy, the majority of the fractional RF energy is focused in the dermis whilst only a small percentage of the surface is affected, resulting in deep volumetric dermal heating and ultimate result.
How does Fractional RF(Radio Frequency) work?
Fractional RF delivers accurate Bipolar/Monopolar RF energy to the skin by a tip built of an array of small pins and return electrodes to create microscopic thermal zones (MTZ). Collagen, the main structural component of the dermis, controls the strength, structure, firmness and overall appearance of our skin. As the aging process begins, cellular proteins hook together or change shape preventing the proteins from performing their functions. As a result collagen and thus firmness is lost in the skin.
With this treatment we are trying to reverse this process, reducing wrinkles,improving skin texture and giving skin a second chance! With Fractional RF we only treat small areas in order for the skin to heal much faster.
Undamaged tissue between the electrode pins act as a healing server to accelerate the collagen rebuilding and skin tissues remodeling.
When can I see results & how many treatments will I need:
Improvements can be seen after the first treatment however for optimal results 3-6 treatments are recommended depending on the amount of correction required for maximum results.
What can I expect after my treatment?
You will feel a warmth or burning sensation on the skin immediately after the treatment which can last from 1-4 hours. Depending on the intensity of the treatment you may experience redness and crusting.
What can Fractional RF treat?
Reduction in pores, overall skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, improves scars especially acne scars treatment and the overall skin elasticity. A wonderful anti-ageing treatment for all ages.
How Frequently can I do a Session?
Speak to your therapist.
Can this treatment interfere Fillers?
No, Fillers will not be affected negatively with the Fractional Radio Frequency treatment. You can just make sure that you give your face/treated area two weeks before/after the next treatment.
Can I do peels and any other treatments in between my Fraction Radio Frequency?
