Is HIFU painful? My most commonly asked question!

HIFU CAN be painful and these are the reasons why!

01

Old outdated Machine

1o years ago my first treatment was horrible, machines have improved to produce more accurate beams that bypass nerves and have cooling incorporated in the head, much more comfortable  

02

Incorrect settings

If we use the wrong settings on the wrong part of your face you will feel pain. Ensure your operator is thoroughly trained and understands which depths can be used on each part of the face. This is also part of the consultation process as everyone is different with different needs! 

03

Cartridge style not CFU

If we place a machine with 100 shots in a few seconds compared to 10? Its going to hurt more! Plus the head is so large they can't target small areas. They cannot avoid bone and nerves like CFU handpieces. 

04

Paragraph title

If you have metal implants or filllings in the area they pick up the ultrasound more and it can hurt! Jess has devised a few methods to completely elivate this because I dont like hurting clients! Other salons may just avoid it, but usually its the mouth area - exaclty where we want tightening so I will get you thru it with my tricks! 

So All HIFU is not painful! CFU is by far the most comfortable and safe style of HIFU


WHY HUSH IS DIFFERENT!!!!


Our machine has alot of settings we can adapt and change to reduce pain- if you are one of the very rare ones who is struggling! If you have metal fillings or implants I have ways to buffer the pain. Your comfort is my priority, We are not a run in run out salon, I am focussed on you and your treatment ONLY.


Our machine is the latest and most advanced CFU technology with added cooling , its rare people find the treatment uncomfortable!


We do HIFU all day long, we specialise so with more experience we get better and need our clients to be happy. Jess does all the HIFU at our clinci, she has been a beauty therapist for 30 years this year and understands deep structure and contours of the skin as we age. I would love to look after you with this amazing treatment that is safe and basically painless with my experience and Italian machine..

Why I Only Use Human Umbilical Cord Exosomes – The Truth About Skin Regeneration** At HUSH Clinical, I’m committed to delivering real results — not just trends. That’s why when it comes to skin regeneration and post-treatment healing, I exclusively use **Dermapen-certified human exosomes**, derived from ethically sourced **umbilical cords**, screened under the **highest American medical standards**. With exosomes becoming one of the most talked-about tools in skin rejuvenation, there’s a growing list of products on the market — from salmon DNA serums to stem cell extracts. But not all exosomes are created equal, and choosing the wrong source can mean reduced results or even skin irritation. Let me explain why I’ve chosen the best — and what to avoid. What Are Exosomes and Why Are They Used in Skin Treatments? Exosomes are microscopic messengers released by cells. They carry proteins, lipids, and RNA that help repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and trigger collagen and elastin production — all essential for healthy, youthful skin. When used correctly, exosomes: Accelerate healing** after treatments like skin needling Improve skin texture and tone** Reduce redness, downtime, and inflammation** Promote collagen remodeling** for firmer, thicker skin They’re most powerful when used during and immediately after procedures like **Dermapen4 microneedling**, helping your skin regenerate faster and better. --- The Problem With Salmon-Based Products Like Rejuran One of the most hyped exosome-like products in recent years is **Rejuran**, a treatment based on **polynucleotides from salmon DNA**. While it may have a place in some clinics, here’s the issue: > 🧬 ** Salmon DNA is foreign to the human body .** Your skin cells can’t fully recognize or respond to fish-derived exosomes or polynucleotides. There’s potential for immune rejection, reduced effectiveness, or unpredictable results — especially for sensitive or reactive skin types. Salmon-based or animal-derived exosomes are **not bio-identical** to human ones, and that matters when you’re trying to heal, renew, and stimulate *your own* skin cells. --- Why I Use Only Dermapen-Screened Human Exosomes At HUSH Clinical, I’ve researched this extensively — and I’ve chosen the **Dermapen Exosome System**, made from **human umbilical cord stem cells**. These exosomes are: ✅ **Sourced ethically** from regulated American tissue banks ✅ **Certified for safety and sterility** under FDA and TGA-aligned standards ✅ **Clinically approved** for use with Dermapen4 microneedling ✅ **Bio-compatible**, meaning your skin instantly recognizes and responds to them These exosomes enhance every needling treatment by boosting collagen and dramatically improving post-procedure recovery — with minimal redness, less inflammation, and visible glow within days. --- What About Other Exosome Products in Australia? There are many exosome options now on the market. Here's a quick overview: | **Product** | **Source** | **Use** | **Concerns** | |-------------|------------|---------|--------------| | **Rejuran** | Salmon DNA | Injectable | Not bio-compatible with human skin | | **Vitaran** | Salmon + PDRN | Serum | Animal-derived, less effective | | **Exomide** | Human stem cells | Microneedling support | More compatible but varies by supplier | | **ASCE+** | Human exosomes | Skin & scalp | Used in Korean clinics | | **Snow Fox Orbs** | Plant + peptide | Topical | No stem cell benefit | | **Plated Serum** | Blood bank platelets | Topical anti-aging | New to market, limited access in AU | | **Medicube Ampoule** | Korean human exosomes | Sensitive skin serum | Gentle but not TGA-reviewed | | **Contour Clinics & Youth Lab** | Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes | Advanced facials | May vary in concentration and purity | At HUSH Clinical, I choose only what’s backed by science, ethics, and proven results.  That’s why Dermapen-certified exosomes are the only kind I use. --- Results You Can See — And Trust Using Dermapen human exosomes with our skin needling treatments means: ✨ Faster healing ✨ Plumper, firmer skin ✨ Reduced redness and sensitivity ✨ Fewer fine lines and better texture ✨ Enhanced collagen regeneration long term With 30 years of industry experience, I don’t follow trends — I follow outcomes. And my clients deserve nothing less than gold-standard skin science. Book Your Free Consultation If you’re considering microneedling or curious about exosome therapy, come and talk to me.
