Renova1 HIFU Face-lift

WORTH IT$249
My procedure / treatment was done in Cape Town, South Africa: Renova House of Beauty.
I did some research and decided against traditional face-lift. The HIFU facelift promised instant results and collagen renewal over a period of 3 to 6 months.
The receptionist explained to me that I might need 2 or even 3 treatments (3 months apart) depending on the condition of my skin. I made the appointment and she advised me to take painkillers an hour before the procedure such as paracetamol. This made me a bit nervous.
The procedure was slightly uncomfortable. Especially on my forehead. It felt like the beginning of a migraine which the therapist advised me was not uncommon. The pain did not last long.
I saw some instant results and made a second appointment. They also recommended botox (week after procedure) and sold me a collagen supplement.
I am quite happy a year later and made another appointment. I will repeat the procedure every year.
In my opinion it is just a treatment to boost collagen production which is what I need.

Hi Shilof - Yes, it is the same procedure but another company based in Cape Town
Did you get ulthearpy or hifu, according to the company and Drs on this site hifu is not ulthearpy? So I wonder why your review is under ulthearpy!
Renova uses the hifu system such as ulthera device. The name ultherapy is typical to ulthera device but it’s the same technology using high intensity focused ultrasound . There are many other devices using this technology such as ulthera, ultraformer, renova
