7D HIFU Machine Training FAQ

This guide provides essential instructions, settings, and safety guidelines for operating your 7D HIFU Machine effectively and confidently.

🔧 Before Treatment

Q: Do I need to map out the client's face before treatment?

A: Yes. Draw lines to mark forbidden treatment areas (areas to avoid). This is a standard HIFU practice.

Q: Which areas of the face are forbidden/sensitive?

Avoid the following:

Around the ears
Above the eyebrows
Around the mouth

These areas are nerve-rich and more sensitive. Please refer to the mapping in the training materials for specific areas.

Q: What should I do before starting?

Take “before” photos for tracking results.
Ensure the client’s face is clean — no makeup, serums, or skincare products.
Have the client remove all accessories.
Mark forbidden areas with a finger-width margin or mapping ruller.
Apply cooling gel evenly to the treatment area. Use refrigerated gel if the client has sensitive skin.

Q: What is the ideal age range for HIFU treatment?

A: Most effective for clients in their 40s and above, though beneficial results can be seen from the 20s onward.

🎯 Cartridge Usage & Settings

Cartridge Depth	Typical Use	Notes
4.5 mm	First pass for SMAS lifting	Can be used on entire face except forbidden areas
3.0 mm	Second pass for dermal tightening	Covers same areas as 2.0 mm but less intense
2.0 mm	Precision for deep wrinkles & eyes	Stronger for targeted wrinkles
1.5 mm	Fine lines & around eyes	Avoid direct eye contact area
6 mm, 9 mm, 13 mm	Body treatments	Start with deepest (13 mm) then lighter

Q: Which cartridge should I start with?

A: Begin with 4.5 mm for facial lifting.

Q: What are the recommended starting energy (“Juice”) settings?

A: Test first on the client’s face:

Start low: 0.5 or 0.7
Gradually increase
Most effective range: 2.0–2.5 (Max: 3.0)
Higher energy (within tolerance) generally gives better results

Q: What do “Pitch” and “Length” mean?

Pitch = spacing between dots
Length = length of the treatment line
Default: 2.0 for both — do not change unless necessary.

Q: How do I know if the energy is effective?

A: Look for:

Tingling sensation
Slight redness during treatment
If neither is present, increase energy gradually.

Q: Does lower energy reduce results?

A: If redness and tingling are achieved, even lower settings can work. However, optimal results come from the highest tolerable energy.

🛑 Treatment Techniques

Modes:

Stamping Mode – Press trigger, wait for completion, move to next spot.
Sliding Mode – Hold trigger and glide slowly; quicker but requires careful pacing.

Q: How many passes should I perform?

A: Two passes per area.

Q: How to ensure continuous shots in Sliding Mode?

A: Use Repeat Mode (alarm icon) to preset shot count (e.g., 100). Shots will fire automatically while you slide.

Q: Recommended shots for full face?

A: 350–550 shots total; ~100 for 4.5 mm cartridge alone.

Q: How to treat sensitive/bony areas like the jawline?

A: Stretch the skin to improve comfort. Apply medical gause on top of the teeth, to reduce discomfort when treating on top of the teeth.

Q: Key tips for effective energy delivery:

Cartridge must be fully connected to skin
Maintain consistent movement
Overlap slightly to ensure full coverage

⚙️ During Treatment

Facial treatment sequence:

4.5 mm – SMAS layer (lifting)
Acting on SAMA fascia layer to tighten the muscle bottom and achieve firmness
3.0 mm – Dermis (tightening)
Aiming on the dermis to stimulate continuous regeneration of collagen
2.0mm – Wrinke erasing
Treatment probe specializing for eyes and deep lines such as forehead, neck and crow’s feet
1.5 mm – Fine lines & eyes (Toning)
Targeting at the epidermis to improve superficial fine lines, skin tone, skin texture, and fine pores

Movements:

Lifting & Stamping – Wait for each shot before moving.
Overlapping – Avoid gaps between lines.
Sliding Mode – For forehead or near teeth; two passes. ( Starters can use stamping mode )

Avoid treating:

Cheekbones directly
Forbidden areas marked before
Immediate eye contact area

🧴 Aftercare & Skincare

Q: What should I do after all depths are completed?

A: Clean the face and apply a medical facial mask. Tiferono post treatment skin recovery mask is recommended.

Post-care advice:

Avoid sun exposure, wear SPF.
Hydrate skin daily for at least one week.
Post treatment skin care products are recommended.
Wait at least 1 month before the next HIFU session.

🆘 Troubleshooting

Q: Machine isn’t working—what could be wrong?

A: If using numbing cream, it might block ultrasound energy. Send a video and cream details to support for diagnosis.

📢 Marketing & Support

Q: Do you offer marketing assistance?

A: Yes. You will get marketing materials to help promote this treatment and technology. We also promote your business by linking your website on our platforms. You’ll see better results if you also optimize your site.

Q: Can you refer new clients to me?

A: Yes. If potential clients (e.g., in the UK) request references, we may introduce them to you.

Q: When do I receive my certificate?

A: Once you send us before & after treatment photos showing good results, and you are confident using the technology, we’ll issue your training certificate.

💎 Cartridges Overview

Q: What are the two cartridge types?

Face Cartridge: 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm
Body Cartridge: 6mm, 9mm and 13mm

Q: What does “HIFU 8” or “HIFU 12” mean?

A: These are marketing terms without standardized technical meaning. Higher numbers do not guarantee better machines.

🔬 Treatment Protocol

Q: What skin layers does HIFU target?

4.5mm: SMAS layer
3.0mm: Dermis
1.5mm: Epidermis

Q: What is the recommended cartridge order?

A: Start with 4.5mm → 3.0mm →2.0mm → 1.5mm for layered lifting.

Q: Can I skip cartridges for younger clients or to save cost?

A: Yes. For prevention or cost concerns, use just 3.0mm +2.0mm+ 1.5mm.

Q: How to adjust "Jules" (energy) on the handle?

A: Adjust on the interface. Start low (e.g., 1.2J for 4.5mm, up to 2.4J for 1.5mm).

Q: How to perform a patch test?

A: After selecting energy, set to “Ready” mode, place the cartridge on the skin, and deliver a test shot. Adjust as needed.

Q: What application methods are used?

Slide: Fast and continuous motion.
Stamping: Precise, intense. Recommended technique.

Q: How many passes are needed?

A: Two passes per area: vertical and horizontal.

Nose bridge
Behind the ears
Throat/larynx
