High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Face and Body

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. This treatment can target various depths of the body’s tissue for skin tightening, skin lifting and body contouring. Entirely non-invasive, HIFU  works by targeting deep layers in the skin – it boosts new collagen production and collagen regeneration right at the source. It is sometime called the ‘Lunchtime Face Lift’ as the treatment is quick, very tolerable and has no downtime.

Non-surgical Skin Lifting has become one of the most sought after treatments, and HIFU is the latest to excel in this arena in just one single session! It targets individual brow lifting, jowl line lifting, nasolabial fold reduction, periorbital wrinkle reduction, and overall skin tightening and rejuvenation. The highly focussed acoustic energy creates thermal coagulation zones at three different selected depths. Following this, a wound healing response results in the formation of SMAS tightening and new collagen, thus providing a longer term tightening of the skin. Generally, a noticeable improvement in the patients facial contouring and fine lines and wrinkles will be reportedly seen up to six weeks post treatment. There is no downtime associated with this non-invasive procedure.

The HIFU body handpiece delivers high frequency ultrasound waves to the treatment area which results in rapid heating at 1.3cm and 8mm underneath the surface of the skin. This heating energy increases in temperature as it reaches deeper within, and it’s this high temperature which the fat cells cannot withstand, resulting in rapid fat cell death (necrosis). The surface of the skin is left unaffected. Just one HIFU Body treatment session is required for each treatment area
