UltraSculpt

frequently asked questions

1. How can the treatment help me?

   You could enjoy an immediate tightening effect that improves over time. The treatment can target almost anywhere on the body, including:

   • Face: jaw line, forehead, brow, neck
   • Upper body: décolletage, arms, axilla (armpit area)
   • Lower body: lovehandles, knees, thighs
   • Tummy
   • Legs inner thights
2. What happens during an appointment?

   First the targeted area is marked with a pencil, then ultrasound gel is applied to help the HIFU ultrasound sweep over skin. Short bursts of ultrasound waves then target the dermis cells to create a smoother, slimmer appearance while rejuvenating collagen under the skin. At a subsequent session fat freezing is performed to dissolve pockets of fat below.

3. How long do results take?

   Treatment takes around 45 minutes. A course of treatments is recommended for best results, with each ideally around 4 weeks apart.

4. How long do the results last?

   With a annual maintenance treatment, and ensuring a healthy diet and lifestyle, results can be ongoing.

5. Does it remove fat from the face?

   The treatment can be targeted to remove fat from the submental region; the double chin outside this the treatment is used very superficially to stimulate the dermis and increase collagen without affecting fat stores.

6. Are there any risks related to treatment?

   Some bruising, swelling may be experienced to begin with, but this should settle over time.

7. What is the recovery time?

   Minimal-to-no downtime is needed. You should be able to return to your day-to-day activities afterwards, and exercise is encouraged.

8. What will my results look like?

   Smoother and firmer skin, in addition to a slimmer appearance, are typical results from UltraSculpt treatment. However, results vary between patients.

9. How do I care for my skin afterwards?

   As with many aesthetics treatments, alcohol should be avoided for at least 24 hours, and smoking is not recommended during healing.
