High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment for skin tightening and fat

loss. This treatment helps lift and firm the skin while reducing stubborn fat without surgery or

downtime. Whether you are looking to enhance your facial contours or slim down specific areas

of your body, HIFU offers an effective and safe solution.

At Shiny Lotus Med Spa in Mississauga, this treatment is performed by our Medical

Aestheticians ensuring optimal results for every client.

How does HIFU work?

HIFU uses ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the skin, targeting the deeper layers of

tissue where collagen production occurs. The heat generated by the ultrasound waves

stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, tighter skin. When used for fat

reduction, HIFU works by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the

body over time.

Good Candidates for HIFU?

• Have mild to moderate skin laxity (loose or sagging skin).
• Want a non-invasive alternative to surgical facelifts or liposuction.
• Are struggling with localized fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
• Are in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the results.

However, HIFU may not be recommended for:

• People with severe skin laxity (who may require surgical intervention).
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
• Individuals with open wounds, infections, or active skin conditions in the treatment area
• Those with metal implants or pacemakers near the treatment area.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

• The number of HIFU sessions required depends on the treatment area and the client’s goals.
• For skin tightening: Many clients see noticeable results after just one session, but some may benefit from multiple treatments.
• For fat reduction: 3-6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are typically recommended for optimal results.

Duration of the Treatment

HIFU treatment times vary depending on the area being treated:

• Face and neck tightening: 30–90 minutes
• Body contouring (abdomen, thighs, arms, etc.): 60–120 minutes
• Since the procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime, allowing clients to resume their daily activities.

Post-Treatment Care

While HIFU is a low-maintenance procedure, following proper aftercare can enhance results:

• Avoid excessive sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect the skin.
• Stay hydrated to support collagen production and fat metabolism.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths for 24–48 hours.
• Refrain from alcohol and processed foods to help the body eliminate fat cells more effectively.
• Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days.

What to Expect

HIFU delivers gradual and natural-looking improvements over time:

• For skin tightening: Clients may notice an immediate lifting effect, but the full
• benefits develop over 2–3 months as collagen production increases. The results can last up to 12–18 months, depending on skin type and lifestyle.
• For fat loss: The body takes 8–12 weeks to naturally flush out the destroyed fat
• cells, with optimal results visible after 2–3 months. The fat loss is permanent, if a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
