The things people ask before they book
If yours is not here, send it on WhatsApp. Shameela answers herself.
Ask on WhatsAppSkin and face
Does HIFU hurt?
You feel warmth and short pricks of heat where the handpiece works, most on bony areas like the jawline. It is uncomfortable for moments, not painful the whole time, and it stops as soon as the handpiece moves on.
When will I see HIFU results?
Some people see a small change straight away, but the real result builds over two to three months while your skin makes new collagen. That is why after photos are taken at around twelve weeks.
Who should not have HIFU?
Tell Shameela first if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or a metal implant in the area, an open wound or skin infection there, or have had fillers or injections in the area recently.
What is the difference between 60 and 90 minute NeoLifting?
The 60 minute session works on the outside of the face and neck. The 90 minute session adds buccal massage, done with gloves inside the mouth on the cheek and jaw muscles you cannot reach from outside.
Is there downtime after a Hydra Glow facial?
No. Your skin may look a little pink for an hour. Most people go straight back to their day, and you can wear make-up the next day.
Hijama
Does hijama hurt?
The cups feel like a firm pull on the skin. The scratches are very shallow and very quick, and most people describe them as a light scratch. It is easier than people expect, and it gets easier each time.
How long do the marks last?
Three to ten days. They are darker the first time and lighter on later visits. They are not bruises, and they do not hurt to touch.
Who should not have hijama?
Tell Shameela before booking if you are pregnant, on blood thinners, diabetic, anaemic, have a bleeding disorder or a skin infection, or have had surgery recently. Some of these mean waiting, and some mean hijama is not for you right now.
What should I do before and after hijama?
Eat something light two to three hours before and come in loose clothes. Afterwards, drink water, keep the area dry and covered for the rest of the day, and skip the gym and hot baths.
What is the difference between hijama and dry cupping?
Dry cupping is cups only, with no scratches and no blood. Hijama adds the small scratches so the old blood can come out. Shameela does both and will say which fits.
