How long should I wait after fillers before proceeding with Ultherapy or HIFU treatment?

Doctor's Answers 2

Great question. The sequence of aesthetic treatments are important since multi-modality treatments are a norm these days. Because of HA filler injections used, I generally wait for 3-4 weeks later, before proceeding with HIFU treatment.

Although there is no clinical studies, however this recommendation is backed by consensus from experienced doctors who are key opinion leaders in Aesthetic Medicine.

My preference is to be safe and steady, to yield the best results for my patients and minimize any potential side effects/ complications.

Hope this helps.

Does HIFU or Ultherapy dissolve fillers?

Frankly, this is something which many doctors debate about. Some insist that there is significant volume loss of fillers after Ultherapy, while some deny such an occurrence. There have been figures thrown around like 10-15% reduction (IF it happens) of filler volume post Ultherapy. In my practice however I prefer to take the safe route and do HIFU first and then about 1-2 weeks later to follow up with the filler placement (if indicated). Why take the risk?

How much does HIFU cost in Singapore, and what affects the costs?

I feel your pain - it is confusing indeed! HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) treatments are used for skin tightening/lifting for anti-aging purposes. HIFU is a type of technology and goes by several brand names (which will affect prices/costs). The 3 most common types of HIFU are Ultraformer 3, Ulthera and Sygmalift (in no particular order). This list is non-exhaustive as HIFU devices will continue to be introduced into Singapore.
