However, patients with more advanced laxity or those who want a more significant improvement may benefit from a second session after 6 to 12 months. Annual maintenance sessions are generally recommended to sustain and continue building on the initial result as the skin continues to age naturally.<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n                        <button class=\"faq-q\">\r\n                            <span>When will I see results from HIFU?<\/span>\r\n                            <div class=\"faq-icon\">\r\n                                <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/button>\r\n                        <div class=\"faq-a\">\r\n                            <p>Some patients notice an immediate tightening effect in the days following treatment. However, the primary results develop gradually over 2 to 3 months as the collagen stimulated by the ultrasound energy matures and remodels. Peak results are typically visible at around the 3-month mark. This gradual progression is what makes the improvement look completely natural rather than sudden.<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n                        <button class=\"faq-q\">\r\n                            <span>Is HIFU suitable for all skin types?<\/span>\r\n                            <div class=\"faq-icon\">\r\n                                <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/button>\r\n                        <div class=\"faq-a\">\r\n                            <p>Yes. HIFU is suitable for all skin tones and types, including Indian skin, as the energy is delivered beneath the skin surface rather than to the skin's pigment layer. It is safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI. The treatment works on the structural layer of the skin regardless of surface colour or tone, making it a highly inclusive option.<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n                        <button class=\"faq-q\">\r\n                            <span>How is HIFU different from a surgical facelift?<\/span>\r\n                            <div class=\"faq-icon\">\r\n                                <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/button>\r\n                        <div class=\"faq-a\">\r\n                            <p>HIFU targets the same structural layer as a surgical facelift, the SMAS but does so using focused ultrasound energy rather than incisions. The result is naturally more gradual and subtle than surgery, which makes it ideal for patients in the earlier stages of skin ageing or those who want improvement without the risks, recovery, or permanence of surgery. For patients with very advanced laxity, a surgical consultation may be more appropriate.<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/main>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <!-- CONSULT STRIP -->\r\n    <div class=\"consult-strip\">\r\n        <div class=\"consult-inner\">\r\n            <div class=\"consult-text\">\r\n                <h3>Ready to lift and firm<br>without going under the knife?<\/h3>\r\n                <p>Our doctors assess your skin laxity, explain what HIFU can realistically achieve, and give you an honest recommendation \u2014 before anything else.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/aeonclinic.com\/book-a-consultation\/\" class=\"consult-btn\">Book a Free Consultation &rarr;<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <script>\r\n    (function() {\r\n        \/\/ Scope to current container to prevent conflicts if multiple sections exist\r\n        const currentScript = document.currentScript;\r\n        const container = currentScript ? currentScript.closest('.aeon-custom-section') : null;\r\n        const sectionRoot = container || document;\r\n\r\n        \/* \u2500\u2500 Scroll reveal fallback \u2500\u2500 *\/\r\n        const revealObs = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {\r\n            entries.forEach(e => { if (e.isIntersecting) e.target.classList.add('visible'); });\r\n        }, { threshold: 0.06 });\r\n        sectionRoot.querySelectorAll('.reveal').forEach(el => revealObs.observe(el));\r\n\r\n        \/* \u2500\u2500 Sidebar active state (Bulletproof for WordPress) \u2500\u2500 *\/\r\n        const sidebarLinks = sectionRoot.querySelectorAll('.sidebar-link[data-target]');\r\n        function updateSidebar() {\r\n            let current = null;\r\n            const threshold = window.innerHeight * 0.4; \/* Trigger when section reaches top 40% of screen *\/\r\n            sidebarLinks.forEach(link => {\r\n                const targetId = link.getAttribute('data-target');\r\n                const el = sectionRoot.querySelector('#' + targetId);\r\n                if (el && el.getBoundingClientRect().top <= threshold) {\r\n                    current = link;\r\n                }\r\n            });\r\n            \/* Default to the first item if at the very top *\/\r\n            if (!current && sidebarLinks.length > 0) {\r\n                current = sidebarLinks[0];\r\n            }\r\n            sidebarLinks.forEach(l => l.classList.remove('aeon-active'));\r\n            if (current) {\r\n                current.classList.add('aeon-active');\r\n            }\r\n        }\r\n        \/* Listen to scroll events on all nested containers *\/\r\n        window.addEventListener('scroll', updateSidebar, true);\r\n        \/* Fallback: constantly check position in case scroll events are blocked by the theme *\/\r\n        setInterval(updateSidebar, 200);\r\n        updateSidebar();\r\n\r\n        \/* \u2500\u2500 FAQ accordion \u2500\u2500 *\/\r\n        sectionRoot.querySelectorAll('.faq-q').forEach(btn => {\r\n            btn.addEventListener('click', () => {\r\n                const item = btn.closest('.faq-item');\r\n                const isOpen = item.classList.contains('open');\r\n                sectionRoot.querySelectorAll('.faq-item').forEach(i => i.classList.remove('open'));\r\n                if (!isOpen) {\r\n                    item.classList.add('open');\r\n                }\r\n            });\r\n        });\r\n    })();\r\n    <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Services \/ Anti-Ageing \/ HIFU Anti-Ageing \u00b7 Treatment 01 HIFUTreatment.
