What is HIFU?
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment uses ultrasound to lift and tighten a number of problem areas, including the lower face, under the chin, and neck. It can reduce wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and cheeks. It can also be used for skin tightening on small problem areas of the body.
During HIFU treatment, low amounts of Micro-Focused Ultrasound energy are delivered into precise skin depths without damaging the surface of the skin. The MFU energy creates heat, which stimulates tissue remodelling. The result, over time, is a natural skin lifting, tightening and rejuvenation.
HIFU operates with meticulous and precise precision, employing a calibrated approach to target various skin layers. Utilising advanced micro and macro-focused ultrasound technology, these sophisticated systems release carefully tuned bursts of ultrasound energy to specific depths, initiating a regeneration process.
This regeneration, facilitated through collagen stimulation, results in the elimination of wrinkles as the skin undergoes a transformation, becoming thicker and more resilient.
By incorporating adjustable ultrasound frequencies and specialised cartridges, HIFU can address a range of skin and body concerns:
​
Cartridges 1.5 & 2 mm: Designed to address wrinkles, fine lines, skin texture, and enlarged pores, and promote overall skin rejuvenation.
3 mm Cartridge: Targets skin tightening by stimulating collagen and elastin production within the dermal layer.
4.5 mm Cartridge: Specifically focuses on the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) muscle layer, aiming to lift and tone the treated area.

What to expect during my appointment for HIFU?
Prior to treatment, your skin will be cleaned, and a set of clinical photos will be taken.
​
The degree of heat required for optimal results will probably cause some discomfort as the ultrasound energy is delivered.
We will advise a plan to optimise your comfort during the procedure. HIFU treatment is highly efficient. For example, a treatment for the full face and neck will last approximately 45 minutes. Because HIFU is a non-invasive treatment, you can expect to be able to return to your normal routine right away.
​
No extra preparation is necessary for your HIFU sessions. However, you will need your free consultation at our clinic before your session to discuss your goals and suitability for the treatment. Our clinician will plan your treatment and target your concern areas.
​
The treatment process is mostly painless, requires no anaesthesia, and may only need one session to get your desired results. For moderate to severe laxity, 2 treatments in the first 6 months is recommended, and maintenance treatments every 12 months after that. For best results, we recommend men are clean shaven on the day for treatment. There is no need to wear makeup as it will be removed prior to treatment.
