How does HIFU cellulite reduction work?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) cellulite reduction works by delivering focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin's layers. This energy targets and breaks down fat cells while stimulating collagen production. The result is a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and tighter, smoother skin.
Is HIFU cellulite reduction safe?
Yes, HIFU cellulite reduction is a safe and non-invasive treatment. It has been approved by regulatory agencies for its effectiveness and safety. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal risk of side effects. Any side effects, such as mild redness or swelling, typically resolve quickly.
How many treatment sessions will one patient need?
The number of HIFU cellulite reduction sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the severity of the cellulite. Most patients see significant improvements after 2 to 4 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. During your consultation, our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
What can I expect during and after the treatment?
During the HIFU treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the targeted areas. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. You may experience a mild warming sensation but little to no discomfort. After the treatment, you can immediately resume your normal activities, as there is no downtime required.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
You may start to see initial improvements a few weeks after your first HIFU session, with optimal results becoming more noticeable after completing the recommended series of treatments. The results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the results over time.
