Leanne
Are there any side to a HIFU ? Well hehe.
Leanne
Well yeah.
Leanne
Look, I think again compared to surgery, but again, we have to remember that this is one of the most treatments that there is next to to surgery, you know what I mean? Yeah, it is quite an treatment. So side effects you’re probably looking at is there will be a bit of around the areas that you’ve worked with, for a couple of days after, and just because it’s your body’s protective function, and it will send water to that area to help it after there’s been like a bit of an injury.
Lytsa
Yeah, and you can also have what we call the ‘cat scratches’. So basically, in that, if you’re sensitive, if you’re really fair, and in some areas, you may have some red lines afterwards, but they will minimise in about two days to three days. And you can get a little bit sore as well.
Leanne
Oh yeah, and it feels like it’s kind of feels like you’ve been a little bit sort of someone’s kind of you a little bit in the bone like it’s kind of like a bit of an ache into the bone. So but that can actually last for a couple of weeks. It’s just this to get the amazing that it does, it really a lot deeper than any other medical sort of clinic treatment. So that’s why it brings about the sort of side effects that it does. Yeah, so you can definitely have a little bit of pain in the area and we probably definitely wouldn’t sort of going out in the Pigmentation & Sun Damage after the treatment because we’ve put a lot of heat into the skin and you’re going to feel a little bit .
Lytsa
Yeah wait at least 24 hours like go two days and if you do make sure you’re sunscreen
always always regardless of anything but yeah and also you know you can get a bit of a headache it’s just the itself like we’ve said is it’s quite an intense treatment. So sometimes the body sort of is to get a bit of a of it’s like a stress in the skin so a little bit of a headache, but too too major. I mean it kind of feels like there might be a bit of but there is no physical bruising on the skin. It’s so you don’t see any marks or anything like that. It’s just it can feel a little bit and a little bit sort of like a deep ache in the bones.
Lytsa
And one of the things you can do to help to apart from everything that we say it’s actually use an ice pack on top of the area you can this too when it’s sore and also apart from the sunscreen what else we can do is minimise..
can also take sort of like medication or maybe like your and
Lytsa
Yeah, you can even use medication prior if you need like a painkiller if you’re too sensitive.
wouldn’t take anything too strong though because, so should be fine or paracetamol should be fine, but nothing too strong because we need to know whether how much you’re feeling it and if that’s the sort of dulled the pain a little bit it could be a little bit too intense.
Lytsa
So moving on to the next question since we’re about side effects I think it’s worth to say is HIFU treatment painful? That’s I think the most requested.
Leanne
Yeah haha, we get that a lot. You know what, I never want to sort of like I don’t want to people so I don’t want to scare anyone either. But I have to be honest in terms of the HIFU is not pleasant. It is pretty painful. It feels like someone is you.
me it’s more like a hot needle going into your skin very quick though because we work with shots like we’re going to press the button and you’re going to feel like a sharp you’re going to feel like a sharp sensation like a hot shot go into your skin
Leanne
Yeah i think that’s when we when it’s actually on and then afterwards you feel like this deep ache in the skin so I mean results and honestly it’s way better than . It’s worth it’s worth it. It’s waiting for the surgery and going in then you’ve got now but I have the bruising yeah you wouldn’t be in a lot of pain from surgery as well as rest.
Lytsa
You need to rest at least two to three weeks.
all the rest of it, it’s definitely worth it but yes to be honest..
Lytsa
and also pain is very it’s very like it on the person.
Leanne
Yeah, absolutely. Some people find it, I mean to be honest with you when I had it done my neck I was fine on my jaw line because again it’s a bone. Yeah, so on my jaw line was a little bit .
on the cartilages as well some cliets say they feel more when we use the deeper ones and some clients feel more when we use this superficial one because they feel it like the hottest onto the skin. So actually it really . And I’ve had my say that I swear I had where they said they felt nothing. It was like okay for them, lifted results.
Leanne
It’s all on people’s sort of pain threshold and pain as well. But you know, in the majority of people will tell you that it is a little bit painful, but not the most comfortable, not the most comfortable treatment, but honestly, so worth it, .
