A full face HIFU treatment typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment areas. Smaller areas like the brow or neck may take 30 to 45 minutes.

Most patients describe HIFU as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. You may feel tingling, warmth, or slight prickling sensations during treatment. We can adjust settings to maximize your comfort.

While some patients notice immediate tightening, the most dramatic results appear gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms. Results continue to improve up to six months post-treatment.

Results typically last 12 to 18 months, though this varies based on individual factors like age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Annual maintenance treatments can help sustain results.

Yes, HIFU combines beautifully with other aesthetic treatments. Many patients pair HIFU with Botox for dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers for volume restoration, or laser treatments for skin texture improvement.

Ultherapy is a brand name for a specific HIFU device. At Estelaza Clinic, we use advanced HIFU technology that delivers comparable or superior results with enhanced comfort and precision.

No significant restrictions. You can immediately return to normal activities, apply makeup, and resume your skincare routine. We recommend using sunscreen and staying well-hydrated to support optimal results.

BBL laser works best on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I-IV), where there’s sufficient contrast between target pigment and surrounding skin. However, with proper settings and experienced practitioners, certain BBL wavelengths can safely treat darker skin types. Very dark or recently tanned skin has higher risk of pigmentation changes because melanin in the skin can absorb energy intended for targets. During your consultation at Estelaza Clinic, we’ll assess your skin type and determine whether BBL is appropriate or if alternative treatments would be safer and more effective.

After BBL laser treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks (and ideally always), picking or scratching at darkening spots or crusting, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or hot yoga for 24 to 48 hours, strenuous exercise causing heavy sweating for 24 hours, harsh skincare products including retinoids, acids, or exfoliants for 3 to 7 days, and additional aggressive treatments until fully healed. Most importantly, wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily and reapply every 2 hours when in sun. Sun protection is critical for preventing new pigmentation and protecting treated skin.

Yes, BBL laser can effectively remove age spots and sun damage with proper treatment. The light energy targets melanin in the spots, fragmenting the pigment so your body can naturally eliminate it. Most age spots significantly fade or disappear completely after 1 to 3 treatments depending on their darkness and depth. However, new spots can develop with continued sun exposure, making sun protection essential for maintaining clear skin. Many patients are amazed at how dramatically their age spots improve, revealing clearer, more youthful-looking skin.

Yes, BBL laser can help treat active acne by targeting the bacteria that contribute to breakouts and reducing inflammation. Certain wavelengths of light have antibacterial properties that kill acne-causing bacteria while being harmless to surrounding skin. BBL also helps fade post-acne hyperpigmentation and red marks left behind after breakouts heal. For comprehensive acne treatment, BBL may be combined with topical treatments, chemical peels, or other therapies. Many patients notice clearer skin and fewer breakouts after completing a BBL treatment series.

You should avoid makeup immediately after BBL laser treatment for at least the rest of that day to allow skin to calm. Most patients can resume makeup application the next day using gentle, mineral-based products. However, if you have significant crusting or flaking of pigmented spots, you may want to minimize makeup use until these resolve to avoid disrupting the healing process. Always use clean brushes and applicators, and choose non-irritating, mineral-based makeup formulas during the healing period following treatment.

The cost of BBL laser treatment in Dubai at Estelaza Clinic varies based on the treatment area (face, neck, chest, hands, or body), number of sessions required in your series, whether treating pigmentation, vascular concerns, or both, and the extent of damage or concerns being addressed.

We offer various payment options to make this transformative treatment accessible and never surprise you with hidden fees.
