Both Sygmalift HIFU and Ultherapy are gold standard HIFU in the market. The goal for both HIFU is to achieve a non surgical face lift solution to combat skin sagging and wrinkles. The main difference lies in the functionality of the machines:

1. Sygmalift HIFU is completely painless

Due to it’s fractionated cold laser beams. Essentially, the beams are broken up into smaller beams, allowing a painless and precise targeting area. Typical HIFU (including Ultherapy) uses large focused beams to target muscle area, causing considerable pain to the patients. Even with the use of topical numbing cream, the pain will still exist as the numb cream cannot reach the muscle areas.

2. Sygmalift HIFU requires more sessions

The painless treatment requires 3 sessions with 7-10 days interval with maintenance every 6 months. This ensures constant stimulation of collagen production throughout the years. While Ultherapy HIFU  requires 1 session to last for 6 – 12 months for the same lifting effect.
