How to choose the right HIFU machine for you
- Understand your goals
- Want a full-face and body lift? Opt for Ultraformer III.
- Need precision for smaller areas? Ultherapy is your go-to.
- On a budget but still want results? Try Doublo Gold or Smasthera.
- Prefer a gentler option? SonoQueen is the best match.
- Consider your skin concerns
- Early signs of aging: SonoQueen or Doublo Gold.
- Moderate to severe sagging: Ultraformer III or Ultherapy.
- Think about comfort
If you’re sensitive to discomfort, look for HIFU machines like SonoQueen or Ultraformer III, known for their tolerable sessions.
- Plan your budget
HIFU treatments range from AED 800 to AED 7,000 depending on the machine and area treated. Decide how much you’re willing to invest for the results you want.
What about Chinese HIFU machines?
Chinese HIFU machines are widely available in the market, because of their much lower prices compared to devices like Ultraformer III or Ultherapy. While this might sound appealing, it’s important to understand their potential risks before making a decision.
Why are they cheaper?
- Chinese manufacturers often produce machines in bulk, reducing overall costs.
- These machines may lack the advanced features, precision, or certifications of premium brands.
Why should you be careful?
- Safety concerns: Cheaper machines without regulatory approvals and certifications for quality and safety standards.
- Less effective results: They may not deliver the same depth or consistency of energy and thus less noticeable results.
- Higher risk of side effects: Inconsistent energy delivery can increase the chances of burns, discomfort, or uneven skin tightening.
When to consider Chinese HIFU machine options?
Chinese machines might be suitable for those looking for extremely budget-friendly options or mild improvements. However, if you prioritize safety, comfort, and visible results, it’s worth investing in a reputable machine like Ultraformer III or Ultherapy. Always ask clinics about the machine they use, and choose a trusted provider to ensure the best outcome for your skin.
Final thoughts on HIFU machine options
HIFU is an excellent option for lifting and tightening your skin naturally. Choosing the right machine can make a big difference in your results and overall experience. For the best combination of effectiveness, comfort, and versatility, we recommend Ultraformer III — a favorite among clients and clinics alike.
In the past, we’ve worked with SonoQueen and Ulthera but we switched to Ultraformer III for two reasons: the cost is much more affordable than the Ulthera one, while the results a way better than those of SonoQueen and similar to Ulthera.
