HIFU (SMAS LIFTING)
Don't use Botox!
Did you know that Botox is a toxic substance that blocks nerve signals to muscles, thereby "tightening" the face over time? It is not permanent and is even harmful.
Today, there are much better methods that help you regenerate collagen in your skin and give you a youthful appearance that lasts much longer than Botox or other chemicals that are toxic to the body.
What is HIFU?
Hifu is one of the newer trends in the field of facial, neck, décolleté, and body skin rejuvenation.
SMAS-lifting (HIFU) or ultrasound lifting is a method of non-surgical skin tightening of the face, neck and décolleté. It is an effective alternative to plastic surgery and injection cosmetology. Unlike plastic surgery, it does not require surgical intervention and long-term subsequent rehabilitation. Compared to injection techniques, SMAS lifting wins in terms of the duration of results after just one session.
How does HIFU technology work?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target deep into the subcutaneous tissue and heat the tissue to a temperature of 60 C, which intentionally damages the targeted cells. Although this may seem incomprehensible, it has been scientifically proven that damaging cells stimulates their intensive collagen production and subsequent renewal, resulting in firmer, tighter and rejuvenated skin.
The first effect of the therapy is noticed immediately, as skin regeneration begins during the therapy, this is the immediate effect of thickening and shrinking collagen fibers, which smoothes visible surface wrinkles, we notice that the skin is tighter, softer and shinier. The second effect is a delayed effect, where the regeneration process and healing continue in the treated area in the following months, which leads to increased collagen production. These results are permanent, visible even 2 years after the treatment. To maintain the result, it is recommended to repeat the treatment at least once a year. The results of the therapy depend on several factors, primarily on the initial condition of the skin and tissue laxity. Therefore, the amount of treatment will be determined by a professional specialist based on the condition of your skin. The treatment is repeated if necessary after 3 months.

Before treatment:
- If possible, come to the treatment without makeup. Otherwise, we will remove your makeup at our place.
- Stop taking blood-thinning medications
- If medically safe, we recommend that you stop taking blood thinners, such as Aspirin, a few days before the procedure, as Aspirin increases the risk of bruising. Be sure to consult your doctor before stopping Aspirin. Avoid using painkillers
- It is also recommended to avoid other painkillers such as Nalgesin, Naklofen, Ibuprofen..., as they also increase the chance of bruising. Avoid drinking alcohol
- Two days before the therapy, we advise against drinking alcohol, taking dietary supplements with Magnesium, vitamins C and E, and dietary supplements such as Ginseng, as these accelerate blood circulation and thus increase the likelihood of swelling and bruising.
After treatment
• Do not expose yourself to the sun for at least 3 days.
• Avoid extreme temperatures for 3 days
• Avoid extreme temperatures, both cold and hot - such as saunas - for at least 3 days
• On the day of treatment, avoid sports activities before and after treatment.
During the procedure, the patient may feel a slight warmth or discomfort in the deep areas of the skin, but the procedure is generally not painful. There is no recovery time after the therapy, which means that the patient can immediately return to daily activities, as the effect of the therapy occurs deep in the skin. Mild redness may be visible on the surface after the procedure, which disappears after a few hours.
