While a portion of the people treated with HIFU is able to see the early results instantly, most people have to wait slightly longer before the results appear.

On average, it is normal for most patients to experience the full results of the HIFU treatment at least after 3 to 6 months after the final clinical session.

HIFU Facelift does not result in any kind of pain while the clinical procedure is ongoing or after.

A few people do experience some mild discomfort, however.

This is because of the focused warmth emanating from the HIFU applicator.

Nevertheless, the discomfort never amounts to pain, not even minor pain. For people with extra sensitive skin, the intensity of the HIFU can always be lowered if the discomfort affects them.

Several areas of the face are treated with HIFU at our Nottingham clinic. These areas include:

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

HIFU Facelift is essentially a non-surgical treatment that targets specific parts of the face at a time.

For maximum effect and safety, different areas of the face require different HIFU frequencies.

For the more sensitive parts of the face, like around the eyes and mouth, lower-intensity HIFU settings are used, while the less sensitive areas are subjected to higher-intensity settings.

Most individuals do not need more than a couple of clinical sessions to get the best results.

Nonetheless, as different people are affected differently by the treatment, at times, more than two sessions are needed for suitable results.

The in-clinic HIFU Facelift sessions at our Nottingham site last around 90 minutes each.

HIFU Facelift, when done right with an appropriate number of clinical sessions, can provide long-lasting results.

With a healthy lifestyle, the results can be retained for up to two years.

Even without a well-adjusted lifestyle, the results of the treatment can stay on for around 6 months.

As the natural lifetime of the treatment results varies from individual to individual, VIVO Body Studio cannot promise any particular durability period.

Patients are provided with a comprehensive aftercare routine via the in-clinic consultation session at our Nottingham site.

The most common steps included in the aftercare instructions are

• Protecting the treated areas from direct sunlight
• Not using hot water on the treated area
• Not drinking alcohol for a few days
• Drinking plenty of water

For additional benefits, HD Thermal Cream and C-TOX aftercare supplements can be used. These are available for purchase at our Nottingham clinic.

Directly after a HIFU Facelift session, the areas of treatment will take on a mild redness and become a little tender.

Both effects are very mild and go away quickly.

HIFU Facelift at our Nottingham clinic, as well as other treatment sites, is a perfectly safe procedure.

In addition to being a safe procedure in its own right, there is the additional benefit of not being a surgical treatment. Meaning there are none of the risks typically associated with surgical facelifts.

Furthermore, only trained professionals perform HIFU Facelift at VIVO Body Studio and the equipment used is reviewed regularly.

No time is ever needed for recovering after this highly efficient, non-surgical treatment.

Due to the procedure being fully non-invasive, there is nothing to recover from after an in-clinic session, or several ones for that matter.

Essentially, you will not have to stress about taking any time off because of the treatment.

Other popular non-surgical treatments at our Nottingham clinic that offer the same benefit are Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) and FemiWand Vaginal Tightening.

HIFU Facelift sessions at the Nottingham clinic start with a face-to-face consultation with the clinical practitioner.

The treatment, results, side effects, and other essential information is discussed during the consultation.

Patients can also bring up any questions they have about the procedure. Then there will be a patch test and skin assessment.

Overall, these necessary formalities take around 40 minutes.

Before you undergo HIFU Facelift, you must be aware of a few things, such as :

• The patient must not tan the area of treatment for at least 2 weeks before the HIFU Facelift appointment
• People who are on prescription medicines must keep an interval of at least 2 weeks between the final dose and the clinical appointment
• No irritation-causing skin products must be applied to the treatment areas for at least a week before the in-clinic session.
