HIPRO V HIFU
HIPRO V HIFU is Korean technology that is a non-invasive, TGA-approved treatment that uses Multi-functional micro & macro-focused, delivering High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) precise ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin.
HIPRO V HIFU
ANTI-AGEING, NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a cosmetic treatment for skin tightening and is a great non-invasive and cost-effective replacement for Face Lifts. HIFU uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen which results in firmer and younger-looking skin.
What makes 5D HIFU Better than other HIFU Treatments?
With only one handpiece instead of the additional cartridges used in machines of the past, 5D HIFU delivers High Frequency Ultrasound energy to the Epidermis, Dermis and Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) at 0.5 mm increments, enabling a precise depth selection previously unavailable. Research has shown that the depths of the epidermis, dermis and SMAS differ throughout the face, so 5D is the only system that can target the exact depths required for your treatment. Traditional cartridge based HIFU systems only work at 1.5mm increments jumping from 1.5mm to 3.0mm and then to 4.5mm and as such often can miss the specific depths that achieve the best results for your non-surgical face lift, as such 5D HIFU is the only system that can target the exact depths required for your treatment.
Unlike traditional HIFU devices that use line by line and one-pass action, the 5D machine uses active scan motion. What this means is that our transducer is moved like a traditional ultrasound, resulting in better heat generation. Heat response is vital to getting optimal results.
The customer experience is more comfortable using the 5D machine compared to older style cartridge systems and the machine settings have a higher degree of flexibility without compromising the effectiveness of your treatment.
The treatment time with 5D HIFU is reduced by at least 30% as there is no time wasted on changing cartridges.
5D HIFU is approved for use in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) under ARTG entry number 327939. A high percentage of traditional cartridge systems emanate directly from China and have no TGA approval. Instead, they claim overseas approvals, such as CE, which are either fake or not recognised in Australia. These machines also cost a fraction of the value of a genuine machine, and as such, they carry an element of additional risk if you are treated on one of them, which includes excessive discomfort.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
HIFU is a safe, nonsurgical ultrasound treatment that counteract the effects of time and gravity on your skin. The treatment uses the body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually lift the skin on the eyebrow, under the chin, onto the neck and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
-
HIFU treats the deep foundation layer addressed in cosmetic surgery, but won’t duplicate the results of the facelift. However, it is a great alternative, especially for those not ready for surgery, or clients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
-
HIFU uses sound energy, which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. HIFU stimulates collagen production in the skins foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over the following 2 to 3 months. Lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers as an optimal temperature, so laser treatments typically only treat superficial skin. Since the two technologies often treat different types of skin issues, they are very compatible.
-
During the treatment, the transducer head delivers and deposits focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the optimal temperature for collagen regeneration. The treatment jump starts a natural process, known as ‘neocollagenesis’, to produce fresh, new collagen. The treatment itself doesn’t involve any creams, fillers or toxins, it just relies on your body’s own collagen building process for natural, noticeable results.
-
The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. The face and neck procedure typically takes between 60 to 120 minutes, while a chest treatment on its own may take approximately up to 60 minutes.
-
With a single HIFU treatment there is no down time. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately, without having to follow any special post treatment measures. We even have clients come in during their lunch break to have the treatment. No cream is required and a general skin care plan and make up can be applied as normal. all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
-
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to the precise depths, indicating that the collagen building process has been initiated. Comfort levels vary from person-to-person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
-
Most clients only need one treatment. However, as this may be based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and an individual’s collagen building process, some clients may benefit from an additional treatment. Because the skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help clients keep pace with the body’s natural ageing process.
-
A good HIFU candidate will have mild moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to look less firm. Examples include a lowered eyebrow line, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin and lines or winkles on the chest area. Of course, the best way to find out if you are suitable candidate is to consult with our practitioner.
-
The HIFU procedure has been used safely in over 450,000 treatments worldwide. Ultrasound energy itself has been used safely in the medical field for the 50 years.
-
The skin may appear flushed at first. This could be during a treatment but sometimes lasting longer. The redness should however disappear within a few hours. Some clients experiencing slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are temporary in nature. Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness in small areas of skin. As with any cosmetic procedure, there is a possibility of other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you.

TIGHTEN, CONTOUR + LIFT SAGGING SKIN ON A MUSCULAR LEVEL
Unlike other skin lifting treatments such as thread lifts, dermal fillers, and anti-wrinkle injections, HIFU does not involve injections – it bypasses superficial skin by delivering precisely focused beams of ultrasound energy at three different depths in the skin’s layers. This technology is micro and macro focused ultrasound that precisely targets the SMAS layer in the skin – the layer that surgeons pull back when doing a facelift—causing new collagen stimulation, providing long-term tightening of the skin. The body’s natural wound healing response results in the formation of new collagen which leads to a long term tightening of the skin.
Immediately after your HIFU Face treatment you may see an initial effect but the ultimate results will take place over the next 2-3 months and continue getting better for the next 6 months. During this time your body is naturally regenerating collagen and muscles are firming. As it is your own collagen that is being generated, the length of time the results last really depends on your own body’s healing response. The treatment produces new collagen and muscle firmness beneath the skin but your own natural aging process will then dictate how long that translates into visible results on the surface.
Age, Diet, Genetics, History of Skin Care, UV exposure and Smoking Habits are just some other factors that will determine your results and how long they last for. One face treatment can last up to 2 years. Some customers elect to get booster treatments after six months. These are half the shots at half the price to optimise their results.
Aftercare guidelines – HIFU Neck & Facelift
After Care Instructions Post Treatment
You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post treatment restrictions.
Avoid exposing your skin to extreme temperatures of heat or cold, and protect your skin with a good quality moisturiser and SPF.
Important you up your water intake and stay hydrated after your treatment
Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 48 hours afterwards, even longer if possible for optimal results.
We recommend no sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment
No strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours to reduce any swelling that may have occurred during your treatment.
Your normal regime can be followed immediately, but avoid using skin products that may cause irritation for 24 to 48 hours afterwards.
Please do not have any other form of treatment or therapy until instructed to do so and ensure clothing is of a loose fit over the areas that have been treated to minimise any discomfort that may be present.
Your skin may appear flushed at first, but the redness, if any should disappear within a few hours on the day of the treatment. Some clients may experience swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature over the next few days to a week. Other, less common post procedural effects, may include temporary bruising, or numbness on small areas of skin.
The Skins Appearance Post Treatment
It is normal for the area to be swollen and feel stiff immediately after the procedure.
The treated area maybe flushed, reddened and tingly.
Temporarily numbness in the treated area can also occur.
Side-effects are temporary and could cause mild bruising and tenderness.
