360 HIFU is a modern non-invasive technology designed for lifting, skin tightening and improving facial and body contours.

A clearer oval. Firmer skin. A naturally rejuvenated appearance.

Instead of working only on the surface, HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy directed to predetermined depths. Controlled thermal points are created in the targeted tissues, which activate natural repair processes and collagen remodeling.

The result is not a “new face,” but a tighter and more defined version of your own face.

How does 360 HIFU work?

One of the most important features of the technology is the ability to work at different depths depending on the area, tissue thickness, and individual therapeutic goal.

For the face, the clinical protocol uses depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm, and for the body, 6.0 mm, 9.0 mm, and 13.0 mm.

This way, the specialist can build a personalized protocol according to the anatomy, degree of relaxation, and volume of adipose tissue.

The focused energy works beneath the skin’s surface and stimulates the processes of neocollagenesis and collagen remodeling. The change develops gradually, and the goal is to naturally tighten and improve the skin’s structure.

What can we achieve?

• Improving skin laxity
• Clearer definition of the oval and the line of the lower jaw
• Improving the appearance of the double chin and submental area
• Tightening of the cheeks and midface
• Improving fine lines and overall skin quality
• Tightening appropriate areas of the neck
• Contouring of appropriate areas of the body – abdomen, waist, hips, arms, thighs and buttocks

How does the procedure work?

1. Consultation and assessment

Each procedure begins with an individual consultation.

The quality and thickness of the tissues, the degree of relaxation, fat deposits, anatomical features, expectations and contraindications are assessed.

2. Photo documentation

Before the procedure, standardized photos are recommended – full-face, 45°, and profile, for objective subsequent comparison.

3. Marking the areas

The specialist determines the therapeutic and high-risk anatomical areas and plans the direction of the lifting vectors.

4. Applying contact gel

The gel provides the necessary contact between the handle and the skin.

5. Working at different depths

For the face, the protocol follows the principle of 4.5 mm → 3.0 mm → 1.5 mm – from deeper to more superficial structures.

6. Final evaluation and instructions

After the procedure, the skin is assessed and the client receives individual instructions for home care.

What does it feel like during the procedure?

The sensation is individual and depends on the area, depth and energy used.

It is normal to feel deep warmth, tenderness, or a dull ache.

After the procedure, slight redness, sensitivity, tightness, or transient swelling is possible.

360 HIFU should not be advertised as a completely painless procedure – individual sensations vary.

When is the result visible?

0–7 days

An initial feeling of tightness is possible due to the immediate reaction of the collagen structures.

2–4 weeks

The gradual development of new collagen processes begins and the first improvement can be noticed.

8–12 weeks

According to the clinical protocol, this is the period of maximum manifestation of the result – lifting, tightening, and better contour.

12–18 months

According to the protocol, the effect can be maintained within this indicative range. The duration is individual.

Results and their duration are individual and cannot be guaranteed for every client.

How many procedures are needed?

According to the clinical guideline:

• For the face, approximately 1–3 procedures are required depending on age and degree of relaxation, usually every 6–8 weeks.
• For the body, the protocol provides for approximately 2–4 procedures depending on the therapeutic goal, with an approximate interval of 8 weeks.

The exact number of procedures is determined individually after consultation.

Who is the procedure suitable for?

360 HIFU is suitable for clients looking for a non-invasive approach to improve mild to moderate skin laxity, better contour definition, and a naturally developing result.

In case of severe sagging, expectations should be realistic, as the non-invasive procedure does not replace a surgical lift.

Contraindications and areas not treated

The final assessment of a suitable candidate is made individually.

According to the clinical guidelines, it is not done on or with:

• Front central neck/thyroid area
• The eyeball and medial orbital area
• The major parotid salivary gland
• Open wounds
• Active inflammation
• Infected tissues
• Directly on certain implanted metal devices/elements, including pacemakers and joint prostheses in the treated area

The client must inform the specialist in advance about illnesses, implants, medications, previous aesthetic procedures and other circumstances that may be relevant to safety.

Preparation before 360 ​​HIFU

• Inform the specialist about previous aesthetic procedures, implants, illnesses, and medications you are taking.
• Do not come for the procedure if there is active inflammation, infection, or an open wound in the area.
• On the day of the procedure, the area should be able to be thoroughly cleaned.
• Before starting, a consultation, assessment and photo documentation are carried out.
• It is not recommended to stop taking medications or supplements on your own. If a medical decision is necessary, it should be discussed with your doctor.

Post-procedure care

The first 48 hours:

• Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and intense workouts with profuse sweating.

7 days:

• Do not massage or rub the treated area aggressively.
• Stop using strong active ingredients like retinol, acids, and exfoliants and use gentle care.

Sun protection:

• According to clinical protocol, use SPF 50+ and limit intense sun exposure for 30+ days.

Mild tenderness, tightness, redness, or transient swelling may occur and usually subside.

In case of severe or prolonged pain, blisters, skin breakdown, unusual discoloration, increasing/persistent swelling, or signs of infection – contact the clinic and seek medical evaluation if necessary.

360 HIFU for body

The technology allows for working at greater depth and, according to the provided protocol, can be used for individually planned tightening and contouring of:

• belly
• waist
• hips
• arms
• thighs
• buttocks

HIFU for the body is not a weight loss method and does not replace diet, physical activity, or medical treatment for obesity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the procedure painful?

The sensation is individual. There may be a deep warmth, tingling, or a dull sensation. The intensity depends on the area and individual sensitivity.

Is there a recovery period?

A prolonged social recovery period is not usually expected, but temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness are possible.

Will I see results right away?

There may be an early feeling of tightness, but the main change develops gradually.

When is the best time for “After” photos?

According to the protocol, the most important comparative assessment is around 8–12 weeks.

How long does the result last?

The clinical manual indicates a guideline of 12–18 months, but this is not a guaranteed timeframe for every client.

Does HIFU replace surgical facelift?

No. This is a non-invasive option for appropriately selected clients, but cannot reproduce a surgical result in severe laxity.

Can it be combined with other technologies?

Yes, but combinations must be professionally planned. The specific guide provides for HIFU followed by specific RF/EMS protocols.

How often can it be done?

The guideline requires a minimum of 6 weeks between major facial treatments and does not recommend a maintenance HIFU treatment earlier than 6 months after the previous one.

A maximum of 4 procedures per 12 months is indicated for the same area.

Why is consultation so important?

With HIFU, more energy does not automatically mean a better result.

The depth, energy, number of lines, direction of work and choice of area must be tailored to the individual anatomy and tissue thickness.

That is why at NeoEffect Aesthetic Center 360 HIFU is presented not as a “one procedure for all”, but as an individually planned lifting and contouring protocol.
