A HIFU facial uses focused ultrasound to heat deep skin layers and renew collagen. Skin tightens gradually: the biggest change usually shows at 2–6 months and often lasts 12–18 months. It suits mild to moderate laxity; marked sagging is a question for a surgeon.
Skin boosters are four groups of skin-quality injections, not fillers. Biorevitalisation hydrates (3–6 months), Profhilo also supports elasticity (6–12 months), polynucleotides support thin-skin repair. Collagen stimulators build your own collagen: results grow over weeks, lasting 12–18 months.
Botulinum toxin (“botox”) relaxes a muscle and softens expression lines, usually for 3–4 months. Hyaluronic acid filler restores volume in lips, folds and contours, usually for 6–12 months. They are often combined; the specialist chooses at the consultation.
Laser works only on growing hairs, so you need a course: usually 6–8 diode sessions 4–6 weeks apart. Most people feel warmth or mild prickling. Autumn and winter are the easiest time to start.
For expression lines, botulinum toxin (botox) usually lasts 3–4 months; the first treatment can wear off a little sooner. For the first 4 hours, no lying down or rubbing the injection points; for 24 hours, no exercise, sauna or alcohol.
