High-Intensity
Focused Ultrasound
Tighten and lift your skin with our non-invasive High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment.
What is it?
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU for short, is a non-surgical skin treatment which is used to tighten, smooth, and firm your skin. During the treatment, HIFU energy causes your treated tissue to warm up. This heat creates something called a thermal injury which tricks the body into repair mode, thus producing new collagen and elastin.
Who is it for?
HIFU is great for those who have mild to moderate skin sagging, crepey skin and other signs of skin ageing. It’s a great non-invasive alternative to other anti-ageing treatments.
Does it hurt?
There can be some discomfort associated with this procedure but it’s generally tolerated well. You may feel tingling, warmth or heat as the energy pulses are applied.
Side effects & downtime?
There is no downtime associated with HIFU.
After treatment you may have some pinkness or redness & some light swelling - but this should subside within 10 days.
When will I see results & how long will they last?
People often notice subtle improvements after a few days, but full results can take three months after you’ve finished your recommended course of HIFU. This can be entirely dependent on your bodies own skin-repairing time frame.
The majority of people see their results last 12-18 months - but these results can be further maintained with follow up treatments.
