HIFU is a non-surgical skin treatment which is used to tighten, smooth, and firm your skin. During the HIFU skin treatment, HIFU uses high-intensity focused ultrasound which quickly causes the treated tissue to warm up. This heat creates something called a thermal injury which tricks the body into repair mode, therefore producing new collagen and elastin.
The treatment can target different depths of your skin, from the top layer all the way down to the SMAS which is a mesh that lays over the top of your muscle, which results in tighter, firmer, and smoother skin.
HIFU is a revolutionary non-invasive rejuvenating treatment which offers a non-surgical facelift. HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, which uses advanced cosmetic technology to tighten and lift the skin with an anti-ageing effect.
Nonsurgical ultrasound treatments such as HIFU can:
Tighten the skin on the neck.
Reduce the appearance of jowls.
Lift drooping eyelids or eyebrows.
Smooth wrinkles on the face.
Smooth and tighten chest skin.
It takes around six weeks for the full effect to start taking place. So, you will see maximum results between around six to twelve weeks after the treatment. The results will last between nine and twelve months. There are very few side effects immediately after the treatment. You may look slightly pink, or you could possibly get a bruise but that’s unlikely. You may feel that your face is a little bit tender in places.
Depending on age your therapist will advise on how many top ups (which is half a treatment) you will need, to encourage more collagen growth.
