Pros and Cons of HIFU Skinmed Treatment
HIFU treatments can have a dramatic impact on your skin, but as with any cosmetic treatment it’s important to consider both the pros and cons. Could this be the right treatment for you?
What is HIFU Skinmed Treatment?
HIFU Skinmed treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses a special kind of soundwave to lift, tighten and hydrate your skin. HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, which means that the soundwaves we use are above the human range of hearing. The Skinmed treatment also uses radiofrequency (RF) soundwaves, which have lower frequencies and a less focused effect than HIFU.
Both kinds of soundwaves can safely penetrate into your skin. Together, they can boost collagen production in different layers of your skin. The lifting and tightening effects will develop gradually as your skin responds to the stimulation.
Advantages of HIFU Skinmed Treatment
HIFU Skinmed treatment can be a great choice when you want to lift and tighten your skin without surgery. The benefits of HIFU are:
· Completely safe and non-invasive treatment, with no need for surgery or injectables
· Works by stimulating natural processes in your skin, so the results will be very natural-looking
· The treatment won’t take long and there is no need to take any time off to recover
· HIFU treatment works well for many people
Disadvantages of HIFU Skinmed Treatment
However, there some disadvantages to HIFU treatment that you need to consider before deciding if it’s right for you. You should be aware that:
· It can take a couple of weeks to start seeing results as it takes time for your body to make new collagen
· The full effects might not be visible for 2–3 months
· Requires repeated treatments to achieve and maintain the best results
· Some people experience slight redness, swelling or bruising after HIFU treatment, although it should disappear quickly
· In rare cases, there can be a sensation of numbness or tingling that can last for up to a couple of weeks
· The effects can vary, so HIFU might not work as well for you as it does for other people
Should You Get HIFU Skinmed Treatment?
If you want to lift and tighten your skin without surgery, then HIFU Skinmed may be the right treatment for you. However, it’s important to discuss the options with an experienced cosmetic specialist so that you can find the perfect match. You might also want to consider other options such as Botox, dermal fillers and PRP therapy, which can all achieve similar results.
You should be aware that HIFU treatment isn’t suitable for everybody. The doctor will ask about your medical history to ensure that it is appropriate for you. If you have had certain conditions, such as a blood disorder, a skin condition or you have any implants, then you shouldn’t have HIFU.
If HIFU treatment is suitable for you then the doctor will ensure that you understand the pros and cons. You’ll also get personalised advice on what the treatment can achieve for your skin.
