Beauty Pros Speak: 10 Must-Know HIFU Questions Answered!

Here are 10 common questions that beauty therapists are likely to ask about HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) machines when starting or running a beauty salon:

1.What is HIFU, and how does it work?

HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, particularly the SMAS layer, stimulating collagen production for lifting and tightening.

How it works: The energy creates thermal coagulation points, which trigger the skin’s natural healing process and lead to long-lasting results.

2.What are the benefits of using a HIFU machine in a beauty salon?

HIFU provides non-invasive skin tightening and lifting, with noticeable improvements after a single session. Clients enjoy reduced wrinkles and a more youthful appearance.

Recommended product: FotroMed’s Ultralift SD Compact combines HIFU and RF for enhanced safety and efficacy, helping beauty salons deliver exceptional results.

3.Is HIFU safe for all skin types?

HIFU is generally safe for most skin types. However, avoid using it on clients with severe skin conditions, open wounds, or metallic implants in the treatment area. Always conduct a professional assessment beforehand.

4.How long does a typical HIFU treatment session take?

Facial treatments typically last 30-60 minutes, while body treatments may take longer depending on the area.

5.How many sessions of HIFU are needed to see visible results?

Clients often see visible improvements after one session, but multiple sessions spaced several months apart are recommended for optimal and sustained results.
