High-intensity focused ultrasound is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that uses non-ionizing ultrasonic waves to heat tissue. HIFU can be used to increase the flow of blood or lymph, or to destroy tissue, such as tumors, through a number of mechanisms.

WHAT IS HIFU?
High-intensity focused ultrasound is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that uses non-ionizing ultrasonic waves to heat tissue. HIFU can be used to increase the flow of blood or lymph, or to destroy tissue, such as tumors, through a number of mechanisms.
IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
You may feel some discomfort, warmth or heat sensation or even a slight pain that lasts less than a few seconds during the pulsation cycle, when ultrasound energy is being applied. The discomfort is very brief and is a good sign that the collagen production process has begun.
HOW MANY SESSIONS OF HIFU WILL I NEED?
The majority of people only need one treatment. Touch-up treatments could be performed in 1 year intervals, depending in the degree of lifting and tightening required.
