It tightens skin, stimulates collagen production, and may help reduce the appearance of excess facial fat in areas like the jowls, double chin, and cheeks without surgery.<\/p><p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mizu Aesthetic Clinic in Singapore<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/doctors\/dr-tan-ying-zhou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr YZ Tan<\/a> has been performing HIFU since its early inception, and has developed a detailed understanding of how different devices and treatment protocols work. This guide shares 7 things every patient in Singapore should look out for when considering a HIFU treatment.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7930a79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7930a79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><\/h4><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all HIFU treatments are the same. Medical-grade HIFU is generally recommended once every 12\u201318 months, though the appropriate interval depends on individual assessment by the treating doctor.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Singapore, only medical clinics can offer medical-grade HIFU performed by a licensed doctor. Medi-spas and facial spas offer a lower-energy alternative that do not require a medical licence to operate.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A proper HIFU should be assessed and customised per face, not performed as a fixed protocol for everyone. Dr YZ Tan at Mizu assesses each patient individually before treatment.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain is a sign it&#8217;s working. A medically appropriate HIFU is uncomfortable at the energy levels needed for results. At Mizu, localised numbing injections (doctor-only) are offered for comfort without compromising energy settings.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results take 3 months to fully develop. Only one session is needed per 1\u20131.5 years for a proper medical-grade HIFU. Spa-grade treatments typically require 3 or more sessions for less visible results.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downtime is minimal but real \u2014 some puffiness along the jawline for around 3 days is \u00a0 normal at effective energy settings. The level of discomfort experienced during HIFU is related to the energy settings used. Your doctor will advise on the appropriate settings based on your individual needs and tolerance.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mizu offers both Ultherapy Prime and the Ultraformer MPT HIFU, so patients can choose based on their preference. Both deliver comparable results when performed correctly.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fcb1a2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1fcb1a2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6262f09 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6262f09\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b18822a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b18822a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Categories<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0e5c07 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"d0e5c07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/blogs\/face-concerns\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Face Concerns<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/blogs\/skin-concerns\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Skin Concerns<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/blogs\/under-eye-concerns\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Under-eye Concerns<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6adb83b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6adb83b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Related Post<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e68381d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e68381d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e32bcf1 elementor-grid-eael-col-1 elementor-grid-tablet-eael-col-1 elementor-grid-mobile-eael-col-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-post-grid\" data-id=\"e32bcf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;eael_post_grid_columns&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"eael-post-grid.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"eael-post-grid-e32bcf1\" class=\"eael-post-grid-container\">\n            <div class=\"eael-post-grid eael-post-appender eael-post-appender-e32bcf1 eael-post-grid-style-one\" data-layout-mode=\"masonry\"><article class=\"eael-grid-post eael-post-grid-column\" data-id=\"17302\">\n        <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder\">\n            <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder-inner\"><div class=\"eael-entry-media\"><div class=\"eael-entry-overlay fade-in\"><i class=\"fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/blogs\/face-concerns\/prolong-botulinum-toxin-treatment\/\"target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"eael-entry-thumbnail \">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/can-it-last-forever-768x432.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-17517\" alt=\"Can Botulinum Toxin Lasts Forever? | Mizu\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/can-it-last-forever-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/can-it-last-forever-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/can-it-last-forever-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/can-it-last-forever-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/can-it-last-forever.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div><div class=\"eael-entry-wrapper\"><header class=\"eael-entry-header\"><h2 class=\"eael-entry-title\"><a class=\"eael-grid-post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mizuaesthetic.com\/blogs\/face-concerns\/prolong-botulinum-toxin-treatment\/\" title=\"\u201cBotulinum Toxin Lasts Forever\u201d?
