Common Questions
Frequently Asked
How much does HIFU cost in BGC?
HIFU at AUREA BGC: full face (₱75,000), jawline only (₱45,000), brow lift (₱35,000), neck (₱40,000). Combination packages and annual maintenance plans are available. All treatments include complimentary consultation and 3-month follow-up.
Does HIFU really work?
Yes. HIFU is clinically proven to stimulate collagen contraction and neocollagenesis by targeting the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth. Studies show measurable skin tightening and lifting that lasts 12-18 months. At AUREA BGC, we photograph baseline and 3-month results so you can see the progressive improvement.
How many HIFU sessions do I need?
Most clients achieve excellent results with a single HIFU session. For more advanced laxity, a second session at 6 months may enhance results. Annual maintenance preserves collagen stimulation. Your AUREA BGC dermatologist will recommend the ideal protocol during your consultation.
Is HIFU better than a facelift?
HIFU is not a replacement for surgical facelift. For mild to moderate laxity, HIFU provides meaningful lifting without surgery, scars, or recovery. For severe sagging, surgical consultation may be more appropriate. AUREA BGC provides honest assessment - we recommend the right solution, not the most profitable one.
Can HIFU treat the double chin?
Yes. HIFU is effective for submental (under-chin) tightening. The ultrasound energy targets the fat and tissue beneath the chin, stimulating collagen contraction and gradual fat metabolism. For significant fat deposits, combination with other modalities may be recommended.
What is the downtime after HIFU?
Minimal. Most clients experience mild redness and slight swelling for 24-48 hours. You can apply makeup and resume normal activities immediately. We recommend avoiding alcohol and extreme heat for 48 hours. AUREA BGC calls you on day 2 to check recovery.
How long do HIFU results last?
HIFU results typically last 12-18 months. The treatment stimulates your body's own collagen production, so the improvement is gradual and natural. Annual maintenance sessions help sustain results. Lifestyle factors (sun exposure, smoking, skincare) influence longevity.
Is HIFU safe for Asian skin?
Yes. HIFU is safe for all skin types including Asian and Filipino skin because it uses ultrasound energy that bypasses the skin surface entirely. Unlike lasers, there is no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. AUREA BGC uses advanced HIFU devices with real-time imaging for precise, safe treatment.
