Doublo Non-Surgical Face & Neck Lift
The Doublo Lift has recently become available in Australia, and is the first Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved device for cosmetic high-intensity-focused-ultrasound (HIFU) treatment.
The Procedure
The Doublo Lift is ultrasound technology at its best. It has a probe that safely generates ultrasound when in contact with the skin surface with dual ultrasonic action. The ultrasound has 2 components: a visual component with a screen that allows the practitioner to see below the skin, and a treatment component delivering high intensity ultrasound waves to the precise target level.
Overall the patient feedback is extremely positive. Older, non-Doublo technology has been associated with significant discomfort during the procedure requiring pain relief and sedation. Most patients rate the Doublo experience very favourably when compared to a non-Doublo alternative.
Typically, the final results begin to become noticeable after two to three months, and last for well over a year.
Risks and Complications
The Doublo procedure is safe and rarely associated with any significant side effects. However a few reported side-effects include:
- Skin redness just after the treatment (typically lasting for a few hours post-procedure).
- Mild bruising and swelling may appear for several days’ post-procedure.
- The skin may feel slightly numb for a limited time (days to weeks).
- A tingling sensation may be experienced for a few days.
