Using a highly focused acoustic energy to send the body into a wound healing response, results in new collagen being produced to lift and tighten the skin.
High intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) is the latest safe and effective non-surgical technology for the use on both the face and body.
This treatment is actively endorsed by renowned UK surgeons as a safe alternative to surgery.
HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. This is a machine-based treatment, regarded as the most advanced non-surgical facelift in the world.
Hand pieces are repeatedly passed across the skin using a hand piece. Through the use of ultrasound waves, the machine penetrates the skin at different depths. There would be rows and rows of dots or hot spots inside the skin where the ultrasound hits.
In this case, we're targeting a very deep layer known as the SMAS layer. In a surgical facelift, the surgeon gets hold of this layer and lifts it.
HIFU, however, does not require incisions, surgery, or downtime.
Non-surgical skin lifting is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after treatments as people want the results of a face lift without any of the risks. HIFU is the latest to propel to success in this area, with visible results in just one session!
HIFU targets all the areas of the face individually, including:
• Brow lifting
• Jowl line lifting
• Nasolabial fold reduction
• Periorbital wrinkle reduction
The results are overall skin tightening and rejuvenation.
By creating thermal coagulation zones at 3 different selected depths, this highly focused acoustic energy provokes a natural wound healing response. This results in the formation of SMAS tightening and new collagen, creating a longer term tightening of skin.
Typically results can be seen within one week of treatment, but further improvements will be seen for up to 6 weeks later. As this is a non-invasive procedure, there is no healing time.
HIFU Body delivers a 24 line matrix of focused energy at a depth of 1.3cm+7nm. The HIFU hand piece delivers focussed ultrasound waves to a precise depth, causing rapid heating of the focal zone at 1.3mm and7mm under the skin. The energy increases in temperature as it gets deeper into the skin, causing cellular friction. Exposing the skin to high temperatures leads to Necrosis of the fat cell (rapid cell death). The controlled movement of the hand piece results in a grid of treated fat cells.
• Brow lifting
• Jowl lifting
• Mid face lifting
• Nasolabial fold reduction
• Neck lifting and tightening
This treatment results in overall skin tightening and rejuvenation
There are many advantages of this treatment, including:
• No cuts to the skin
• Noticeable results
• Annual treatment
• No recovery time
Just one session of 3D HIFU will produce immediately visible effects, lifting and tightening the skinc. It will also continue o create new collagen, helping your skin maintain a youthful glow.*
How soon will you see results with Hifu?
In order for the full effect to begin, it takes about six weeks. So, you will see maximum results between around six to twelve weeks after the treatment. The results will last around twelve months. So you would only plan to have this treatment done once a year.
