HIFU Body Contouring (per area)

Service Description

WHAT IT IS HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin of the body to tighten loose tissue and stimulate new collagen. Priced per area: abdomen, arms, legs or buttocks. It is a skin-tightening and contouring treatment, not a weight-loss procedure. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT Loose skin after weight loss, pregnancy or simply time does not respond to exercise — you cannot train skin. HIFU addresses the laxity itself, which is why it succeeds where the gym has plateaued. WHAT WE AIM FOR Firmer, smoother skin over the treated area and a tighter overall contour, achieved gradually over three months. WHO IT SUITS · Loose skin on the abdomen after pregnancy or weight loss · Crepey or soft skin on the upper arms · Laxity above the knees or on the thighs · Wanting contour improvement without surgery TREATMENT DETAILS Appointment 45–60 minutes per area Discomfort Mild to moderate warmth Downtime None First results Gradual from 6 weeks; final at ~3 months Duration 12–18 months Sessions 1–3 depending on the area and degree of laxity FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Will it help me lose weight? No, and it should not be chosen for that. HIFU tightens skin and can improve contour; it is not a substitute for weight loss and works best when your weight is already stable. How many areas can be treated in one visit? Usually one to two, depending on size. Larger areas such as the full abdomen take a session of their own. Is it suitable for cellulite? It can improve the skin quality and firmness that make cellulite more visible, but it does not remove cellulite. An ultrasound assessment first will tell us what is realistic in your case. Is it painful? Most patients describe brief waves of heat or a deep prickling sensation as the energy is delivered. It is manageable without anaesthetic, and it stops the moment the applicator lifts. Bony areas such as the jawline and forehead are the most sensitive. How soon will I see a result? There is often a mild immediate tightening from the initial tissue response, but the real change is gradual. Collagen remodelling builds over 8 to 12 weeks, with the final result at around three months. How long does it last? Typically 12 to 18 months, depending on your age, skin quality and lifestyle. HIFU does not stop ageing — it resets the clock, and an annual session maintains the result. Is there any downtime? None in practical terms. Some patients have mild redness or a slightly tender, bruised feeling under the skin for a few days. You can wear make-up and return to work the same day. Who will treat me? All treatments at Dr Selvi Clinic are carried out by a doctor, following a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of your suitability.
