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Old outdated Machine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..

HIFU is a fantastic treatment that provides great results. Read our client's reviews of our HIFU
By Jess Callahan 13 Jan, 2024
HIFU Melbourne reviews When I first discovered HIFU about 10 years ago I was amazed by the results I saw from colleagues and had to give it a try. I searched around for the best HIFU clinic in Melbourne and had a treatment. Sadly it was really painful so I decided I could not do that to clients. After a few more years I saw more machines on the market and gave it another try! I could see improvement and decided this is what I needed to do. I tried clinics and machines all over Australia. After a few more really painful treatments and not a lot of results I finally came across the RENOVA. An Italian machine which used new technology CFU. It had a focused ultrasound head that was smaller than the rest and and hardly felt anything. I followed a few colleagues progress and before and afters and finally purchased the machine in October 2022. I was trained by the Australian Importer and also a few friends in the industry that had been dong HIFU for years! The results I saw where so amazing, I was trilled to finally solve clients concerns with lax skin and neck wrinkles. It has to be the most commonly asked question I have had in 30 years of beauty. To help people manage and improve lower face ageing and even eye bags has to be the highlight of my career so far! With my knowledge of face structure and injectables I felt I can really get results for clients concerned about jowls, double chins, neck sagging, eye drooping and bags! The last 12 months have been so rewarding, I have huge passion to help people with maintaining and improving their skin. HIFU is the only treatment that works this deep and can actually tighten muscle to this degree! I am also so proud to be offering amazing prices on HIFU for a quality treatment with an experienced operator , read some of my reviews, they speak for themselves. Jess xxx  Priscillia - Jess is fantastic! I tried the Hifu and I could tell the difference! Came today for another treatment. Finally I’ve found someone that I could trust to do my skin treatments. Highly recommend! Lian PI - Jess has a great passion and knowledge with her job. I did my facial Hifu treatment with her. I’m really happy with the results as well as the time/ service she provided. I can tell she ❤️❤️ her job. I really recommend Jess if you looking for Hifu facial in Melbourne. Thanks Jess ❤️ Marni Scholes - My whole experience at Hush was amazing from start to finish. Jess is lovely, welcoming and friendly. I had whole face HIFU saw results straight after and know my results will only increase over the coming weeks. I’m so happy with my experience I would definitely recommend :)

Glowing Skin: The Power of Skin Peels The Synergie Professional Peel treatments are designed to reduce the appearance of irregularities on the skin’s surface and reveal a smoother, revitalised texture by regenerating and resurfacing the skin. These treatments remove the top layers of the skin, help to stimulate collagen remodelling, reduce tonal discolouration, improve skin texture and hydration, reduce congestion and improve the overall appearance of the skin. This transformative skincare treatment has proven its worth in tackling various skin issues, including sun damage, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and dullness. Understanding Chemical Peels Curated to revitalise epidermal texture, Synergie Skin offers a range of powerful resurfacing chemical peels from a retinol-enzyme formulation, varying salicylic and lactic acid solutions, our exclusive Synergie peel as well as a modified Jessner peel for visible, lasting results. Various strengths and types of chemical peels are available, and a professional skin consultation is necessary to ensure the appropriate peel treatment is selected for your specific skin concerns. There is a lot more to peels than the percentage! Ph plays an important role as does formulation! Using a peel that is to strong for your skin can result in serious adverse effects. Impared Skin barrier, Dermatitits, Burns and pigmentation. The Science Behind It: Hydroxy Acids At the core of many chemical peels are hydroxy acids, including salicylic acid and Lactic acid. These acids function by disrupting the connections between dead skin cells, facilitating their sloughing off. Salicylic acid is particularly effective for acne-prone skin, as it can penetrate the pores and help unclog them, reducing the occurrence of breakouts. On the other hand, Lactic acid, derived from Milk, is renowned for its ability to enhance skin texture, hydration and promote skin rejuvenation. Tailoring to Different Skin Types One of the remarkable features of chemical peels is their adaptability to different skin types. Whether you have oily, dry, sensitive, or combination skin, there's a peel suitable for your needs. Skin consultations play a crucial role in determining the most suitable type of peel for an individual. For instance, individuals who have never used an acid or active skincare will likely need to use some products for the 2 weeks prior to prep their skin for acids. This may be a little inconvenient but its the safest way to introduce peels and accelerate results, without any poor side effects Addressing a Multitude of Skin Concerns The versatility of chemical peels extends beyond catering to different skin types—it also encompasses a wide array of skin concerns. For those grappling with sun-damaged skin, chemical peels can be a game-changer. Exposure to sunlight can lead to early aging, causing fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. Chemical peels effectively target these issues by eliminating damaged or impaired skin cells and promoting the growth of fresh, healthier skin cells. Moreover, if you're battling uneven skin tone, chemical peels can help even out pigmentation irregularities. Regular peel sessions can diminish hyperpigmentation, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by acne scars. With the exfoliation of the outer skin layer, the new skin that emerges tends to have a more uniform appearance. IF we combine that with excellent home care pigmenation can be Types of Peels Chemical peels are not a one-size-fits-all solution; they come in various types to cater to specific needs. Here are a few common types: Superficial Peel: This gentle peel targets the outermost layer of skin, making it ideal for mild concerns such as dull skin and fine lines. Medium Peel: Deeper than a superficial peel, this type is effective against moderate skin imperfections like uneven skin tone and acne scars. Deep Peel: Reserved for more stubborn issues, deep peels penetrate several layers of skin to tackle deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and significant skin texture irregularities. The Power of Professional Expertise While there are at-home peel kits available, it's recommended to undergo chemical peels under the guidance of a skincare professional. Their expertise ensures that the peel's concentration and application are appropriate for your skin's needs. Skin consultations provide the opportunity to discuss your skin concerns and goals, allowing the skincare expert to tailor a treatment plan that delivers optimal results. A Glimpse into Popular Peels Several popular peel treatments have gained recognition for their efficacy and results: Advanced Anti Ageing Medi Facial: This specialised facial treatment combines multiple techniques, including chemical peels, to focus on signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Express Peel: Perfect for individuals with busy schedules, this quick treatment delivers rapid exfoliation, leaving the skin rejuvenated and radiant. Synergie Purifying Medifacial: Ideal for acne-prone skin and even Rosacea, , this medifacial combines the benefits of peels with other techniques to address breakouts and promote clearer skin. The Importance of Aftercare Post-peel care is essential to ensure the best possible results. After a chemical peel, your skin might exhibit increased sensitivity to the sun, so using a broad-spectrum sunscreen is crucial. It's also advised to avoid harsh skincare products for a few days and follow a gentle skincare routine to support the healing process. Why do Skin Consultations Matter? Skin consultations play an integral role in determining the most suitable type of peel and creating a personalised treatment plan. Whether you opt for a superficial peel to refresh your complexion or a deeper peel to target more stubborn imperfections, the guidance of skincare professionals ensures that you achieve the desired results while maintaining skin health and integrity. A Personalised Skin Care Routine The power of skin peels lies in their ability to rejuvenate the skin by shedding its dull and damaged outer layer. Through the application of carefully selected chemical solutions, various skin concerns can be effectively addressed. The key to successful peel treatments is a tailored approach, considering individual skin types, concerns, and goals. As the pursuit of glowing skin continues to evolve, chemical peels stand out as a potent tool in the arsenal of advanced skincare. With their ability to promote skin rejuvenation, address a wide range of concerns, and cater to various skin types, chemical peels have rightfully earned their place in the realm of modern skincare practices. So, if you're looking to unlock your skin's radiant potential, consider the transformative power of skin peels and embark on a journey towards healthier, more luminous skin.

The Science Behind Skin Tightening: Why It's More Than Just Vanity In our quest for youthfulness, the look and condition of our skin is a main focal point . The skin, being the largest organ of our body, undergoes several changes as we age, and one of the most common concerns is loose or saggy skin. While societal pressures and beauty standards certainly play a role in this concern, there's more to skin tightening than just vanity. So we will delve into the reasons why skin tightening is needed and explore the various treatment options available, from radio frequency to laser treatments and beyond. Understanding the Problem: Loose Skin As time passes, our skin naturally loses elasticity due to reduced collagen production and the gradual weakening of elastin fibres. Collagen and elastin are vital components responsible for maintaining the skin's firmness and suppleness. These proteins gradually decline over time, leading to the formation of saggy skin. While age is a significant factor, other factors such as weight loss, genetics, and sun damage can also contribute to loose skin. Variety of Skin Types and Concerns It's important to note that not all skin is created equal. Skin types can vary greatly from person to person, and so do the concerns associated with skin tightening. Varied skin types will exhibit distinct responses to different treatments, making a personalised approach essential. Skin can range from oily to dry, sensitive to resistant, and each type requires tailored care to achieve the best results. Addressing the Impact of Weight Loss on Skin Elasticity Weight loss is often celebrated as an achievement that contributes to overall well-being. However, it can also lead to unexpected challenges, including the loosening of the skin due to the sudden reduction in underlying fat. When the skin is stretched during periods of weight gain, it may not fully retract as the pounds are shed. This can result in areas of saggy skin, particularly around the abdomen, arms, and thighs. Skin tightening treatments offer a solution for those who have successfully accomplished significant weight loss and are looking to restore their skin's tautness, allowing them to embrace their new physique fully. The Role of Collagen Production Collagen functions as a foundational protein, providing the skin with its strength and elasticity. It forms a network that supports the skin's structure and helps maintain a youthful appearance. However, as we age, the production of collagen decelerates, resulting in diminished firmness and the emergence of fine lines and wrinkles. The objective of skin tightening treatments is to trigger the generation of collagen to restore the skin's vitality and reduce saggy skin. Elastin Fibers: The Key to Skin Elasticity Elastin fibres are responsible for the skin's ability to bounce back and maintain its shape after stretching or contracting. These fibres work in conjunction with collagen to ensure the skin retains its firmness and resilience. Just like collagen, elastin production diminishes with age, contributing to sagging skin. Effective skin tightening treatments often target both collagen and elastin production to achieve optimal results. Exploring Treatment Options Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening: Radio frequency treatments use heat energy to activate collagen and elastin within the skin's deeper layers. The heat penetrates the skin without causing damage to the surface, promoting skin tightening and improved skin tone. RF treatments are non-invasive and can be used on various areas of the body, making them a popular choice for those seeking effective skin tightening without the need for surgery. Laser Skin Tightening: Laser treatments use focused light energy to target the skin's deeper layers, stimulating collagen production. This contributes to the enhancement of skin tone, texture, and firmness. Laser treatments can be tailored to different skin types and concerns, providing a versatile solution for skin tightening. They are particularly effective for addressing facial skin laxity and fine lines. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin's layers. This energy stimulates collagen production, resulting in noticeable skin tightening over time. HIFU is often used to target specific areas, such as the face, neck, and décolletage, and is known for its precision in delivering results. Needling and NON Laser Resurfacing TMA: Microneedling is a technique that involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to activate collagen production and elastin. This process helps improve skin texture, tone, and tightness. NON Laser Resurfacing TMA (Transcutaneous Micro Ablation) is another non-invasive option that uses micro plasma energy to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate collagen remodelling. Both of these methods promote skin tightening by encouraging the body's natural healing processes. The Importance of Professional Guidance Before embarking on any skin tightening journey, it's essential to seek guidance from a certified dermatologist or skincare expert. These experts can assess your unique skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend the most suitable treatment options. Many clinics offer complimentary consultations, allowing you to discuss your needs and gain a better understanding of the available treatments. Treatment Sessions and Expectations Achieving optimal results with skin tightening treatments typically requires multiple sessions spaced over several weeks. The gradual nature of these treatments allows the skin to respond naturally and develop lasting improvements. Patients should maintain practical expectations and understand that significant changes may take time. Non-Invasive vs. Surgical Options While surgical options like facelifts exist for more dramatic results, non-invasive skin tightening treatments have gained popularity due to their minimal downtime, lower risk of infection, and natural-looking outcomes. Surgical procedures may involve more extensive recovery periods and carry inherent risks associated with anesthesia and surgery. Experience The Transformation You Deserve With Hush Clinical Our expert treatments are tailored to firm and refine your neck, ensuring a rejuvenated you. Take the first step towards a more confident, youthful appearance – schedule your consultation today! The desire for firm, youthful skin goes beyond superficial aesthetics; loose or saggy skin can impact our confidence, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. Understanding the science behind skin tightening, including collagen and elastin production, different skin types, and the available treatment options, empowers us to make informed decisions about our skincare journey. Whether through radio frequency, HIFU, or other innovative methods, achieving tighter, more vibrant skin is a goal that is both achievable and beneficial for the body and mind. Remember, a personalised approach and professional guidance will give you the best possible results.
