HIFU uses ultrasonic energy to reach deep beneath the skin, targeting connective tissue.
This stimulates collagen production, tightening loose tissue, and visibly lifting sagging skin.
The procedure involves a wand application with focused heat directed at compromised cells, kick-starting collagen and elastin production for rejuvenation, all without surgery or downtime.
HIFU is generally considered painless, although some clients may experience slight tingling sensations as heat from the wand penetrates the skin cells.
This is normal, and simply means the ultrasound energy is making contact with the damaged, ageing skin cells.
Clients may experience flushed skin after the treatment, but any redness or tenderness of this nature dissipates in a matter of hours.
As HIFU requires no anaesthetic or incisions, there is no downtime, bandages, creams or pain medication.
You are then able to return to their normal life immediately.
The HIFU treatment can treat many different areas such as full face, neck, decolletage, stomach, legs and much more.
Within your FREE consultation your Aesthetician will assess your area of concern and provide you with a bespoke treatment plan moving forward.
Only one HIFU Ultherapy treatment is required per area to get rejuvenation results, however more than one treatment can be performed on each area with 6-12 weeks between treatments one or two sessions are required.
HIFU Therapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery, it won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift.
However it is a great alternative, especially for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
HIFU Ultherapy uses sound energy, tried and true ultrasound’s unique properties allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. HIFU ultherapy stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over the following 2-3 months.
Lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers at an optimal temperature, so laser treatments typically only treat superficial skin. Since the two technologies often treat different types of skin issues, they’re actually very compatible.
How many sessions of HIFU are required?
During the treatment the transducer delivers and deposits focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the optimal temperature for collagen regeneration.
The treatment jumpstarts a natural process, known as neocollagenesis, to produce fresh, new collagen.
The treatment itself doesn’t involve any creams, fillers or toxins, it just relies on your body’s own collagen-building process for natural, noticeable results.
Only one HIFU Ultherapy treatment is required per area to get rejuvenation results, however more than one treatment can be performed on each area with 6-12 weeks between treatments one or two sessions are required.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.
Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
How many sessions of HIFU are required?
A good HIFU Ultherapy candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to feel and look less firm. Examples include a lowered eyebrow line, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest.
Of course, the best way to find out if you’re a suitable candidate is have a free consultation with a practitioner.
