Frequently asked questions
What is Hi-Pro V HIFU by NBSkin?
Our exclusive Hi-Pro V HIFU is a revolutionary ultrasound treatment that rejuvenates deep layers of tissue, stimulating cellular turnover and collagen production while creating a natural lifting effect on sagging skin, all without any discomfort.
Is this different from other forms of HIFU?
Absolutely. Hi-Pro V is the only HIFU technology of its kind in WA. Unlike conventional HIFU, it's completely painless and treats areas others can't, including the centre of your neck and complete forehead. With continuous motion technology delivering double the ultrasound shots, you get superior, longer-lasting results.
Can I have HIFU instead of surgery?
While HIFU by NKSkin can have dramatic lifting results, It is not a direct alternative for a facelift. However, it is an incredible option for those who don’t want to undergo surgery.
What type of HIFU is best for me?
At NBSkin we offer two types of HIFU, Glow and Ultimate. The difference between these treatments is the depth at which the ultrasound waves work.
HIFU ULTIMATE
Our HIFU Ultimate treatment works deep into the SMAS layer of the skin, as deep as where a surgical facelift would occur. This treatment works to reshape and lift the skin and tissue. This will have the most dramatic impact on a patient and will last up to 12 months depending on the patient’s chronological age, skin regime and health and lifestyle issues. We recommend this treatment for patients who are experiencing skin laxity issues, deep wrinkles, and a loss of collagen.
HIFU GLOW
Our HIFU Glow treatment, while does not work as deep as our HIFU Ultimate, induces collagen production in the skin, which improves fine lines, and refines skin texture. This treatment can be expected to last 3-4 months, we recommend this for younger patients who don’t yet have significant skin laxity (sagging) issues. Our Glow treatment is also excellent as a boost to clients who have had an ultimate treatment.
What does Hi-Pro V HIFU feel like? Does it hurt?
Here's what makes Hi-Pro V extraordinary: it's completely painless. While conventional HIFU can cause discomfort, our exclusive technology delivers all the lifting and tightening benefits in complete comfort. You'll feel gentle warmth as the ultrasound works its magic, but no pain.
How long does it take?
This depends on the area being treated, however, on average, the treatment will take 50 minutes. We can treat just the face, just the neck or the face, neck, and, decolletage.
What is recovery like?
Often described as a lunchtime facial, there is minimum recovery from this treatment. Patients with sensitive skin may have some redness, however, the majority of people experience no symptoms post-treatment, other than the desired lifting and anti-aging results. Many clients say that they can feel the tightening of the treatment of straight away, which to some way feel a little strange.
