WHY 3D-HIFU?

​

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is the latest safe and effective non-surgical technology to both lift and tighten loose or sagging skin on the face and neck without any downtime.  It is actively endorsed by renowned UK surgeons as a safe alternative to going under the knife.  The equipment is from an

EN ISO 13485 certified company with excellent credentials.

​

 How does it work?

​

3D HIFU Face focuses energy to stimulate the deep support layers of the skin without causing damage to the skin surface.  The treatment stimulates the growth of new collagen resulting in a lifted firmer and toned appearance.

​​

What to expect

​

Results will develop over the course of 2-3 months with some clients experiencing continued improvement for up to 6 months.  Whilst the HIFU face procedure will not be as drastic as surgical intervention, it is an exciting alternative for those clients who do not wish to undergo surgery.

​

    What is unique about the HIFU face treatment?

​

It is the only treatment that can specifically target the deep foundation below the skin similar to that of cosmetic surgery without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin utilising focused ultrasound.

​

Who is a good candidate for this treatment?

​​

Someone with skin that has relaxed to the point of often feeling less firm, that is tired.  Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are good candidates.

​

How long does the treatment take?

​​

A full face and neck treatment takes between 60 – 75 minutes while a partial face treatment can take around 30 minutes.  There is no downtime.

​

What problem areas can HIFU target?

​

It addresses any area where there is mild to moderate skin laxity issues. Specifically by reconditioning and renewing the skin from within, HIFU can lift the brow, which in turn reduces excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes and gives a more rejuvenated look overall. It is also highly effective on loose skin on the neck area and brings definition to the face and jawline.

​

How long until the results are seen?

​

Clients may witness some initial effect, but the ultimate ‘lifting and firming’ will take place over 2-3 months, as collagen is renewed and replaced with new stronger collagen.  As this collagen building process continues, improvements can appear up to 6 months following treatment.

​

How long do the results last?

​

The firming benefits achieved following the treatment should last over one year, but skin continues to age. Yearly touch-up treatments are recommended to combat the ageing process.

​

How many treatments will I need?

​

It is a one off treatment with a recommended maintenance top up every 18 months.

​

Is there any downtime with the treatment?

​

There is no downtime.  You are able to return to your normal activities right away and there is no special aftercare

that you need to undertake. Ensure you drink plenty of water post treatment and avoid heat for 24 hours.

​

Will I feel the ultrasound during the treatment?

​

Yes. You will feel a tiny amount of concentrated energy being delivered below the surface of the skin.  Clients have reported that there can be some discomfort while the energy is being applied but it is short lived and a good sign that the collagen restructuring process has been started.

​

Are there any side effects?

​

There may be slight redness for about one hour following the procedure, and a low percentage of clients may have slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to touch but these are mild and temporary in nature.
