Around 30% of the results are seen instantly, but the best thing about HIFU is that as the skin heals and collagen rebuilds over the following weeks, results continue to improve and look better and better.

Results from a single session can last up to 18 months, and results from a treatment package may be long-lasting or even permanent when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and good hydration.
