What does the Focus Dual technology offer?
The Focus Dual technology is manufactured by UK’s largest laser manufacturers, Lynton. The Focus Dual is a combination of two ground-breaking technologies: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HiFU) and Radio Frequency (RF) Micro-Needling.
How can a HIFU procedure help?
The HiFU treatment has been around for a relatively a long time now. What a Focus Dual HiFU treatment does is that it focuses on the SMAS layer of the skin. One that a plastic surgeon operates on to surgically tighten or lift. Utilising the ultrasound technology, a HiFU by the Focus Dual achieves impressively significant results for skin tightening, lifting, and plumping both on the face and the neck & it does this non-surgically.
How will I feel during the treatment?
Most patients describe this as a mild and slight heating sensation while having a Focus Dual treatment (either the HiFU or the RF micro-needling). Pain levels across the board, even among patients with relatively lower pain thresholds have been reported to be tolerable and comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
Upon a thorough consultation, your clinician will analyse your skin (face or body) with your desired goal. Although you can have treatments done for HiFU and RF micro-needling desperately or as one-off treatments, best results are usually achieved through a combination of both in a course of treatment.
How long before I see results visibly?
The Focus Dual technology works by stimulating the production of collagen by the body itself. This is what helps maintain the volumized, more plumped, and tighter-looking skin we aim to have. Although sometimes results can be seen immediately specially with the RF needling optimum results have been reported to be seen up to 12 weeks post treatment as your body’s collagen production cycle is complete.
What’s the downtime of a HIFU or RF micro-needling treatment?
Short answer is only a no downtime to a couple of hours at most.
Thanks to the Focus Dual’s non-surgical and non-invasive HiFU treatment, you’ll be able to have your Focus Dual HiFU session in your break and head back to the office without any visible bruising, discomfort, or redness.
Focus Dual RF micro-needling is also mildly uncomfortable in that it is only minimally invasive. You will experience (at most) some redness after your treatment or maybe a tingling feeling due to the tightening effect of RF micro-needling.
Focus Dual’s HiFU and RF micro-needling are both so comfortable and routine that you can immediately resume your normal daily activities.
