The time it takes for results to become visible is different for every person.

The average period one usually has to wait before they can see the full results of the facelift ranges between 3 to 6 months after the procedure.

Around 1 out of 5 patients report that they were able to perceive the outcome of the facelift immediately after the first session.

HIFU Facelift is not a painful procedure.

At most, patients have reported that the focussed warmth released from the HIFU applicator caused slight discomfort.

In any case, feelings of such discomfort are easily remedied by lowering the intensity settings of the HIFU applicator.

A number of areas can be treated as part of the HIFU Facelift treatment offered at our Manchester location. These include:

• Traditional Facelift (S-section)
• Eyelift
• Jaw lift
• Neck lift
• Décolletage
• Upper facelift
• Lower facelift
• Full face, neck & décolletage

It is normal for the HIFU Facelift procedure to eradicate looseness and wrinkly lines from facial skin.

Nonetheless, the procedure can also be done on the surrounding region’s skin.

If desired, the treatment can also be done on separate areas of the face, such as the jaw only.

The intensity settings of the HIFU applicator are always suitably adjusted prior to the procedure to meet the needs of the area of the skin being treated.

For example, when the skin around the eyes and mouth is being treated, lower-intensity settings are used as these areas tend to be more sensitive.

The number of sessions required for the best outcomes of the HIFU Facelift procedure depends on the patient and their needs.

Typically, most people need only undergo two HIFU sessions to achieve the very best results.

Nonetheless, many patients benefit from more than two sessions.

Conversely, some patients can achieve fantastic outcomes from just a single HIFU session.

It is important to keep in mind that results begin to become apparent 6 to 8 weeks following a HIFU Facelift procedure. Full results can take around 3 to 6 months to show up.

A single in-clinic HIFU session at our Manchester location typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes.

Our clinical practitioner can provide you with a more accurate approximation of the time your session will require after assessing the areas of the skin to be treated.

HIFU Facelift results normally stay on for 6 months. The longevity can be prolonged by precisely following the aftercare instructions set out by our clinical practitioner.

Please keep in mind that it is normal for the lifetime of HIFU results to vary from person to person.

During the clinical consultation, the clinical practitioner at our Manchester clinic will explain the HIFU aftercare in detail.

The most common steps of HIFU aftercare include:

• Protecting yourself from sunlight
• Not scratching the treated skin areas
• Not taking hot showers and hot baths
• Not drinking alcohol for some time after the treatment
• Hydrating yourself adequately

We always recommend using HD Thermal Cream and C-TOX after the HIFU treatment for the best results.

Mild redness and some tenderness are the only side effects linked to the HIFU Facelift treatment.

These commonly manifest on areas of the skin that underwent treatment.

However, both side effects are very mild and disappear within a few days.

HIFU Facelift is as safe as any non-invasive cosmetic procedure.

There are no risks associated with the treatment, and it is notably comfortable.

Furthermore, with the HIFU Facelift, there is no possibility of ending up with the side effects that result from facelift surgeries.

Patients having undergone a HIFU procedure find that there is nothing to recover from.

Because the treatment is completely non-surgical, there is no downtime.

Essentially, you can schedule a HIFU session in the midst of a regular day and resume your daily routine straight out of our clinic.

Other non-invasive treatments that you can avail of at VIVO Clinic Manchester that similarly do not require any recovery time include Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) and FemiWand Vaginal Tightening.

A typical HIFU session at our Manchester clinic will start off with a consultation with a clinical practitioner.

During this time, the clinician will explain the processes involved with the HIFU treatment in full detail.

Through the consultation, all of your concerns will be addressed, and any questions you may have will be answered.

The clinical practitioner will perform a brief skin analysis and patch test after the consultation.

We cannot go ahead with the treatment without performing a skin analysis and a patch test.

All of these pre-treatment processes normally take up to 40 minutes.

Your clinical practitioner will notify you beforehand of the things you need to do before your scheduled HIFU session.

The more crucial things that need to be done before the procedure can be performed include the following:

• Consciously prevent yourself from getting a tan for at least 2 weeks prior to your HIFU appointment. Whether it is a suntan or a tan from other sources, HIFU procedures cannot be performed on tanned skin.
• If you are taking any prescription medication, schedule your HIFU treatment appointment a minimum of 2 weeks after the prescription has run its course. Certain prescription drugs, like antibiotics, tend to increase the skin’s sensitivity.
• Stop using all skin products that cause irritation, even if slightly, a minimum of 1 week ahead of your HIFU Facelift appointment.

In addition to all of the above, you must not use any makeup, moisturiser, or other skin products on your face on the day of your HIFU Facelift appointment.

It is vital for your face to be clean and dry for the procedure to go ahead.
