WHAT IS HIFU
Hight Intensity Focused
Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-
invasive treatment designed to
lift, tone & tighten the skin. This
procedure is a non-invasive way
of a facelift and body contouring
without having to go
under the knife.
HOW HIFU WORKS
During treatment, ultrasound is micro-
focused below the skin’s surface which in
turn causes cellular friction and precise,
pinpoint heating. Like a magnifying glass,
the sunlight’s raise is generated at a focal
point, leaving the skin’s surface and
surrounding tissue unaffected. At the focal
point, the tissue heats up to approximately
65 (degrees symbol) C, causing immediate
collagen contraction and denaturation,
which initiates superior collagen synthesis.
Resulting in an instant lift and in the next
three to six months, the wound healing
response stimulates long-term tissue
remodeling. Promoting further lifting and
tightening, with results that can last up
to a year or more.
Is HIFU safe?
The procedure has been proven safe in several clinical studies, and there have
been many successful treatments performed around the world.
Is there any downtime?
There is no downtime from the procedure. You will be able to return to your
normal activities straight away.
How long until I see results?
Some clients may see immediate effects; however, the optimal outcome of lifting
and toning will take place over the following 2-3 months. During this time old
collagen is replaced with new collagen that has a higher level of elasticity.
Is HIFU Painful?
You may experience slight discomfort whilst the ultrasound energy is delivered.
Does HIFU have any side effects?
You may experience slight redness, which may last for an hour, andsome clients
may experience minor swelling, tingling or tenderness. These
symptoms are temporary.
