Doublo Gold HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive facial treatment designed to combat the effects of ageing, particularly sagging skin. This treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity.
Doublo Gold HIFU utilises focused ultrasound energy to precisely heat the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis and SMAS layer), which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, essential proteins for youthful, and firm skin.
Doublo Gold HIFU is versatile and can treat various areas of the face and body, including:
Doublo Gold HIFU is a non-invasive procedure performed in our clinic by a trained aesthetic doctor. After assessing your skin, a cooling gel is applied to the treatment area. A handheld device is then used to deliver focused ultrasound energy to specific layers of your skin. The treatment comes with four different cartridges (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm), which can be customised by your doctor to suit your individual needs. These cartridges control the depth and frequency of the ultrasound energy delivered to your skin.
1.5mm: Targets the upper dermis to improve skin tone and reduce pore size, stimulating collagen production and enhancing the wound-healing effect for firmer, smoother skin.
3.0mm: Reaches the subcutaneous and dermal layers, helping to boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity.
4.5mm: Penetrates to the deepest layer, the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), using thermal energy to tighten the skin and provide a lifting effect, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
The skin consists of multiple layers, and to effectively stimulate collagen remodelling, the heat energy needs to reach the SMAS layer, which lies beneath the epidermis and dermis. HIFU is one of the non-invasive technologies that can penetrate all the way to the SMAS layer, providing significant tightening and lifting results.
Doublo Gold HIFU is suitable for individuals who experience mild to moderate skin sagging, typically due to ageing, weight loss, or genetics. The treatment is ideal for those who wish to achieve skin tightening and lifting without the need for invasive surgery. It is most effective for people aged 30 and above, though younger individuals may also benefit from the treatment to prevent early signs of ageing. Patients with certain medical conditions or skin conditions may need to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing HIFU.
Yes, Doublo Gold HIFU is a safe and FDA-approved procedure that has been widely used for non-surgical skin lifting and tightening. It targets the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface.
The results from Doublo Gold HIFU can typically be seen within 2-3 months as collagen production stimulates tightening and lifting. Improvements continue to develop for up to 6 months.
Side effects are minimal, with some patients experiencing mild redness, swelling, or slight tenderness in the treated areas. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days.
Most patients require only one session for noticeable results. However, additional sessions may be recommended for individuals with more advanced signs of sagging or skin laxity.
The Doublo Gold treatment is virtually painless, with most patients experiencing only a mild tingling sensation, along with occasional prickling and warmth. If you’re concerned about discomfort, you can discuss the option of a topical numbing cream with your doctor. A full-face procedure typically takes just 8 to 10 minutes, and there is no downtime. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment. Although you might notice a slight redness on your skin post-treatment, it usually fades quickly as the skin cools.
