With HIFU technology, you can now reduce fine lines and wrinkles without surgery

HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound, is a non-invasive and non-ablative procedure that creates a skin lifting and rejuvenating effect. It does this by:

1. Increasing tissue tension

2. Stimulating the production of collagen

3. Destroying stored fat cells

It is superior to other skin tightening procedures as it causes no damage to the upper layers of the skin or adjacent tissue. This means minimal side effects, no downtime and it works on all skin types.

What can be treated?

Utilising the power of focused ultrasound, HIFU skin tightening can be used to lift and tighten the jawline, chin, brow, and neck with one treatment. It is not a replacement for a surgical face-lift. Instead, it provides an alternative for those who are looking for a non-invasive treatment to tighten skin and slow the facial ageing process.

Who can have HIFU and what areas can HIFU treat?

HIFU is suitable for most patients concerned about skin laxity. It is most common for those over the age of 35 seeking a lift or tightening, who are not wanting to have a surgical face-lift. It may also be sought by those looking to prevent skin laxity or to slow down the facial ageing process.

The results of HIFU cannot be compared to that of a surgical facelift. The results are not as dramatic or visible, and hence this procedure is only suited to those looking for subtle changes. It does not replace a surgical facelift. Instead, it provides a non-invasive alternative for those looking to subtly fight the progression of skin laxity.

HIFU works on mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to feel and look less firm. Common areas to treat include loose cheek skin and jowls, sagging under the chin, loose skin on the neck, the forehead to lift lowered brows.

Downtime, results and treatment time.

How long before I see results?

Initial tightening of the skin can be seen immediately after treatment, much of this, however, is from the inflammation caused by the heat. True results appear over 2−3 months as the new collagen formation needs to mature. As maturation occurs collagen is realigned to provide a smooth and well-supported foundation for the skin’s surface.

How long does it take for the procedure?

This will depend on how many area’s you are having treated. The practitioner will carefully mark out your face and systematically treat the desired areas. Commonly treatments take 1 hour in the clinic.
Will I need time off work?

After your treatment, you will be able to go back to your normal activities. Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience mild swelling of the treatment area or tingling or tenderness to the touch. These are mild and temporary effects.
