It depends on people’s pain threshold. People with normal pain threshold will only feel warmth under their skin but not on the surface. Some people feel a slight discomfort or tingling sensation on the jawline if they have metal in their mouth.

There are many HIFU devices on the market and lots of copy cat devices! At best these lower-end devices are ineffective and at worst dangerous, this is because the cartridges don’t treat the depths they claim to. However, if a medical CE marked device is used, such as Perfecte Me System, by a trained professional then HIFU is a very safe and effective alternative to surgery.

Results can be seen from 4 weeks to 6 weeks after treatment and will improve over time. As the healing process will take up to 6 months, the treatment continues to work for a year therefore last longer and are more durable.

Face

• The 3mm cartridge delivers HIFU energy to the dermal tissue. The result of this delivery process will be immediate trauma to the treatment zone which then promotes healing, immediate contraction and collagen stimulation through fibroblast activity.
• The 4.5mm Cartridge will target the SMAS layer which is manipulated during facial cosmetic surgery. ​It causes initial trauma to the layer resulting in a slight contraction, leading then to repair.

Body

• HIFU creates a focal point of energy exposing adipocytes at 13mm or 7mm to temperatures of 60-65ºC. Exposing the fat cell to these high temperatures for just one-second causes rapid cell death by coagulative necrosis. The fat cells are unable to reproduce themselves and are naturally passed out through the body.
