💡 What to Know Before Your HIFU Treatment

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment that targets the deep structural layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It’s ideal for improving sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin firmness without surgery or downtime. To maximise results and ensure comfort, please follow the pre-treatment steps below.

📅 1 Week Before Your Appointment

🧿Discontinue Active Skincare: Stop using retinol, prescription creams, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, and exfoliating or irritating products on the face, neck, and décolletage.

🧿Pause Harsh Treatments: Avoid chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or other intensive skin treatments in the week leading up to your appointment.

🧿Avoid Injectables: Do not schedule anti-wrinkle or dermal filler treatments within 2 weeks of your HIFU appointment.

💧 3–5 Days Before Treatment

🧿Hydrate Your Skin: Drink plenty of water and apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser daily. Well-hydrated skin responds better to HIFU and recovers more efficiently.

🧿No Active Breakouts or Open Wounds: Reschedule your treatment if the skin becomes inflamed, broken, or compromised.

📌 On the Day of Your Treatment

🧿Clean Skin Only: Please arrive with clean, product-free skin (no makeup, moisturiser, SPF, or serums).

🧿No Caffeine or Alcohol: Avoid both on the day of your treatment, as they may increase sensitivity or swelling.

🧿Comfortable Clothing: If we are treating your neck or décolletage, wear a loose-fitting top to avoid irritation post-treatment.

🧿Let Us Know of Any Changes: Inform us of new medications, recent illnesses, or skin flare-ups before beginning your treatment.

⚠️ Important Notes

🧿Medical Conditions: If you have metal implants, pacemakers, or active skin disease in the treatment area, HIFU may not be suitable. A consultation will determine eligibility.

🧿Sun Exposure: Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning in the week leading up to your appointment. Sunburned skin cannot be treated.

🧿Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy; consult before booking while breastfeeding.

🧿Sensitivity: Some clients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tingling after treatment, which usually subsides within 24–48 hours.

🌟 HIFU Aftercare Guide

Soothe, protect, and enhance your results with Pro-Age Skincare.

👋 What to Expect After Your HIFU Treatment

Following your HIFU treatment, it’s normal to experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas. Some clients may notice slight tingling or tightness as collagen production is activated. These effects usually subside within a few hours to days.

Results improve gradually, with optimal lifting and firming visible from 6–12 weeks as collagen and elastin rebuild naturally.

🌸 First 24–48 Hours: Soothe & Support

🧿Cleanse Gently: Use Calm+ Cleanser – a non-stripping, pH-balanced gel to protect the skin barrier.

🧿Hydrate & Cool: Mist with Calm+ Mist – enriched with niacinamide, rosewater, and aloe to calm and refresh.

🧿Repair with Recovery+: Apply Recovery+ Serum (exosomes, stem cells & ceramides) to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing.

🧿Moisturise for Comfort: Use Harmony+ Day Cream (AM) or Barrier+ Night Cream (PM) to keep skin nourished and soothed.

🌞 Sun Protection Is Essential

🧿Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.

🧿Apply SPF50+ daily and reapply every 2 hours outdoors.

🧿Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing.

❌ Avoid These for 3–5 Days

🧿Makeup for 24 hours (mineral only if required)
🧿Rubbing, scratching, or massaging the treated area
🧿Retinoids (e.g. Renewal+)
🧿Exfoliants & resurfacing actives (Glow+, Tone+, Refine+)
🧿Brightening actives (Inhibit+, Correct+)
🧿Intense exercise, saunas, or hot showers

👩‍🔬 Optional Recovery Boosters

Use 1–2x in the first week post-treatment for enhanced comfort:

🧿Collagen+ Dream Mask — ultra-nourishing cream mask with marine collagen & jojoba oil
🧿Relief+ Oatmeal Mask — calming, soothing mask for redness or sensitivity
🧿HydraFirm+ Sheet Mask — peptides & hyaluronic acid for instant hydration and plumping

HIFU lifts, tightens, and firms the skin by stimulating natural collagen and elastin. It reduces fine lines, improves skin elasticity, and contours areas such as the jawline, neck, and décolletage — all without surgery or downtime.

Most clients describe the sensation as a warm prickling or light tingling as the ultrasound energy penetrates deep layers of the skin. Discomfort is minimal, and no numbing is usually required.

No. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a few hours to days, but you can return to normal activities immediately.

Depending on the treatment area, sessions take between 30–90 minutes.

Most clients see noticeable improvement after one session, with results continuing to build over 6–12 weeks. For optimal results, some may benefit from a second session within 6 months.

HIFU is ideal for clients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, sagging, or fine lines who want a non-surgical lift and rejuvenation. It’s best for those seeking natural results without downtime.
