What is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?
HIFU stands for 'High Intensity Focused Ultrasound' and is a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound to lift, firm & tighten the skin.
HIFU can be used to revitalise your face, neck & body. It's a revolutionary skin tightening procedure that helps to lift, smooth & tighten sagging skin without surgery.
How does HIFU work?
HIFU deposits focused ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin, contracting all skin layers in just one treatment.
This stimulates the creation of new collagen in the area. HIFU is highly effective skin firming, tightening & lifting the facial skin and reducing excess skin on the body.
How does HIFU stimulate collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm, tight & lifted. As we age collagen loses its structure and its ability to stand up to the effects of gravity. HIFU kickstarts the repair process and helps the skin to produce fresh, strong collagen.
Is there any downtime with HIFU treatment?
Due to the non-invasive nature of HIFU treatment, there is virtually no downtime. You may experience slight redness following the treatment, and a small percentage of our clients do experience minor swelling, tingling or tenderness. These symptoms are mild and temporary.
You'll be able to return to your normal activities straight away, and there are no special recovery measures needed. This is why HIFU has earned the name the "lunchtime face lift".
How long until I see results from HIFU?
Some clients do see immediate initial effects; however, the ultimate lifting, firming and tightening results will take place over the following 2 to 3 months. During this time, older collagen structures are replaced by new, stronger supplies of collagen. As the collagen building process continues, you may see further improvements up to 6 months after the final procedure.
