Plan skin texture and contour firmness at different depths
FocusDual combines radiofrequency microneedling and focused ultrasound. From concerns about pores and fine lines to areas of laxity, your physician selects the mode, depth and area to plan separately for skin texture and firmness.
- RF microneedling and focused ultrasound
- Individual depth and energy settings
- Single-mode or staged treatment options
RF microneedling: deliver energy at a selected depth
Microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy, with depth and area adjusted for skin thickness and treatment site. The consultation distinguishes pores, fine lines and scar types and checks for active inflammation before discussing an appropriate approach.
Focused ultrasound: select layers according to the tissue
Focused ultrasound concentrates energy at a set layer. Your physician assesses tissue thickness before selecting applicators and areas for laxity or contour concerns, rather than applying the same depth everywhere.
Two technologies do not mean both are always needed
Texture and firmness concerns may be addressed separately or in stages. Planning considers recent treatments, sun exposure, skin tolerance and acceptable recovery time when choosing modes and sequence.
Match aftercare to the treatment mode
Temporary redness, swelling or tiny crusts may follow RF microneedling; local aching or tenderness to pressure may follow ultrasound. Moisturising, sun protection and makeup are discussed according to skin condition. Contact the clinic promptly for blisters, persistent pain or worsening discomfort.
Frequently asked questions
Can I discuss pores, acne scars and fine lines together?
You can raise all of your concerns, but they do not necessarily use the same settings. Your physician distinguishes the issue, tissue depth and skin condition before setting priorities.
Can I choose only microneedling or ultrasound?
A single mode can be assessed against your needs. Two technologies provide planning options; they do not mean everyone needs both.
When can I wear makeup or resume skincare?
Timing depends on the mode, energy settings and skin recovery. Microneedling and ultrasound have different aftercare needs. Follow the clinic's instructions and do not restart irritating skincare products early.
How are later changes assessed?
Follow-up and photographs taken under consistent lighting and angles help track texture and firmness separately. Short-term swelling differs from the later appearance; changes and duration vary between individuals.
