HIFU
HIFU is High Intensity Frequency Ultrasound which dramatically reduces signs of ageing such as tightening saggy skin around the jawline, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, it breaks down fat deposits around the double chin and tightens loose skin on the neck.
HIFU visibly tightens all skin laxity in all areas of the body it is used and results are noticed within weeks of treatment. This brand new device that was only launched in the UK in 2021 really is the latest non-surgical facelift to hit the market with updated technology that allows a pain-free experience unlike any other HIFU or results driven surgical and non-surgical options out there. It can be used for defining jawlines and creating contoured cheekbone definition, it can give an eye lift to reduce hooded eyes and can also be used to tighten all turkey necks.
As an added benefit the side effects of HIFU are that it stimulates so much new collagen, clients also notice an improvement in skin texture, open pores and acne scars!!
OUR TREATMENTS
WHAT
TO EXPECT
HIFU uses heat (65 degrees) on 4 different layers of skin to lift and tighten the skin. It dramatically increases new collagen and elastin to give a more youthful contoured face.
There are 4 different handpieces that work at 4 different depths in the skin. Ultrasound gel is applied to the face and each hand piece is slowly moved over the treatment areas working in sections for best results. There are 3 handpieces that we use for the face and a 4th handpiece for the body, all of which work at different depths for optimal results. Traditional HIFU/Ultherapy is known to be painful and require pain relief. Our medical device is pain free, clients may experience a slight tingling sensation or warmth on their skin; however pain relief is not required and the treatment is relatively relaxing.
What does it do?
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively recent cosmetic treatment for contouring the face by skin tightening and fat removal from around the jawline and jowl area. Our device is a non-invasive and a painless replacement for face lifts. It uses ultrasound energy for the formation of new collagen and elastin, which results in firmer skin and more toned skin whilst reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

More Details
A full consultation and photos are required before starting your HIFU journey. During the consultation treatment areas and areas of concern are established. These areas may vary from a Full Face & Neck, Full Face, Neck, Forehead, Jawline, Half Face and Eye Lift. We can treat as little or as much as you would like.
How painful is HIFU?
The treatment using our device (Focus Dual) is the latest technology which is not painful, has no downtime and requires no pain relief. Old traditional HIFU is carried out after administering anaesthetic creams and pain relief. Pain at the end of the treatment is rare, although clients may feel a very slight sensitivity around the jawline which reduces over a day or so. HIFU is a safe treatment because the ultrasound energy targets only the tissue that is present deep below the surface of your skin. Clients can be assured that HIFU will not cause any damage to the upper layers of the skin. It will do the opposite and rejuvenate the skin.
Is it OK to have Botox and Fillers after HIFU?
Please avoid injectables/filler for 7 days post HIFU treatment. We advise that clients wait 4 weeks after injectables or filler before having HIFU to give the injectables time to settle into the area worked on.
