How effective is HIFU?

[jeaux90]

Considering HIFU/Ultraformer for my face. I have upper lip lines etc and considering the costs was wondering peoples experience of this.

Hopeful bump

I had this, didn’t notice any difference. It wouldn’t make any difference to lip lines anyway. You need filler or possibly laser for those. Tret might help but will take time.
I think many of these non surgical treatments, apart from fillers and Botox, are a big let down, promise much, deliver little and cost a lot.

I had 3 sessions, expensive and useless 😢

I walked at the cost, but I got Fotona 4D which was a third of the cost..... I did see difference from that. I think all this type of thing heats the structure of the skin up deep down. It shrinks your facisia so think about that.

I googled Fotona laser, and it can melt fat, something the ageing face doesn’t want!
OP- worth a look:

Thanks so much! My instinct was to stick to fillers and Botox (have had them in the past) and it seems you have all confirmed that, thank you!!

I have Botox and I'll do microneedling to improve the texture and appearance of my skin but I'll have to have filler I think as some laser isn't going to help my sagging face. I've looked into most things and apart from a face lift, fillers is probably the only thing that will make a difference

I agree, Botox is great. Go easy on fillers as they can drag your face down as you get older and give you a puffy look.
Microneedling and lasers are the only things worth spending money on in my opinion and I’ve tried pretty much everything!

I have had skin boosters too which were good. I’m really happy with the woman that does my Botox but I’m not confident with her fillers and the old place I went to I always felt quite rushed. Trying to find a good place for fillers in Oxfordshire/Bucks is a minefield!
