High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

 

 

HIFU Therapy is a non-invasive clinical treatment performed by a trained skin specialist that uses Focused Ultrasound Technology to create a micro-injury in the deep dermal and Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layers of the skin. HIFU helps stimulate the cells, encouraging tissue rejuvenation and collagen production – which:

 

• Improves skin elasticity

• Shapes & tightens the face contours

• Lifting of Eyebrow

• Lifts and tightens the cheekbones

• Defines jawline

• Skin lifting and tightening of the Chin & Neck 

• Improves the surface layer of the skin

• Slows down the development of ageing signs

• Slows down the development of ageing signs on the face, neck

       and décolleté

 

With the HIFU treatment what we are doing is heating small targeted amounts of soft tissue below the surface of the skin to a level where the tissue will contract, and the body will create new collagen. To achieve a significant lifting and tightening effect, the right amount of heat is delivered to the proper depths of tissue, and this fantastic treatment is capable of accomplishing both without any injury to the surface of the skin.

​

What you feel during the treatment is tiny amounts of concentrated ultrasound heat, giving a warm sensation that is being deposited below the surface of the skin, which many people describe as a tingling feeling. The ultrasound heat can be intense at times and is a positive signal that the collagen and building process has been initiated.

​

The degree and nature of any discomfort will vary from person to person and from area to area on the face and or neck, with bony areas such as jawline being more sensitive than others. There can be some temporarily, small areas of the numbing or sensitivity to touch after the procedure. Before and after the treatment, we ensure that you are comfortable at all times.
