HIFU – HIGH INTENSE FOCUSED ULTRASOUND

The ULTRAFORMER III HIFU is an optimum, non-invasive ultrasound device which is essentially a skin tightening treatment that is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles targeted around the face, brow, jowl and neck regions. It also delivers visible effects in facial contouring, fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a non- invasive cosmetic treatment that targets deep layers of the skin encouraging the production of new collagen resulting in a tighter, firm and youthful skin.

Our HIFU treatment uses Ultrasound energy which can target the deep structural layers of the skin. By targeting heat at specific depths, we can kick start the body’s healing response, this naturally increases the levels of collagen in the tissues. As collagen increases, this leads to a gentle lifting and tightening of the skin. Helping to reduce the signs of ageing, for a younger, more refreshed appearance. HIFU is able to reach tissues that other anti-ageing treatments can’t affect. This makes HIFU a very popular alternative to surgery or more invasive treatments such as thread lifts or injectable toxins and fillers

What happens during and after the HIFU Treatment

Before your treatment begins an Aesthetic Practitioner will outline exactly what to expect. The actual treatment usually takes 45 mins to 1 hours. The handheld device is manoeuvred around the treated areas several times. Some clients may see some initial tightening after their treatment. This is partly due to the contraction within the SMAS layer; but also, partly due to the body’s healing response to the treatment. The best results are seen over the coming weeks and months as he body starts to produce collagen and elastin.

We normally recommend between 1 – 3 treatments spaced throughout the year

After your treatment, please closely follow the aftercare advice given to you by your Aesthetic Practitioner.
