WHAT IS HIFU SKIN TIGHTENING?
HIFU is the most advanced technology available in the world today for non-surgical skin tightening. The treatment utilizes focused ultrasound to lift underlying muscle and tone loose or sagging skin. By stimulating the deep structural support layers of the skin, a natural, regenerative response is initiated, stimulating the growth of new collagen, which lifts and tightens the skin over time.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
During your appointment, we use a handheld non-surgical skin tightening device that hovers over the area to be treated. This delivers very targeted pulses of Ultrasound deep into the layers of the skin and underlying muscle.
Session time varies depending on the area being treated but generally ranges from 1-2 hours from beginning to end. During the appointment, it is normal to experience a slight prickling or aching feeling. This will subside immediately once the treatment is finished.
Treatment details
We recommend two sessions spaced 6 months apart. Then repeat one session every 2-3 years to maintain results.
HIFU results will continue to improve gradually for up to 6 months following treatment and results will last on average 18 months to three years. Individual results will differ slightly.
A good candidate for HIFU is someone who has mild to moderate skin laxity.
HIFU is not recommended for people who have dermal fillers within the treatment area, open lesions or wounds, cystic acne, a history of keloid scarring, implanted electrical devices (pacemakers etc) or metal implants in the treated area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, bells palsy, heart disease, hypertension, liver, kidney or skin disease.
We do not recommend HIFU face treatment for those that have little to no facial volume.

There may be some discomfort while the ultrasound energy is being delivered however comfort thresholds vary from client to client. This is temporary and a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. If you choose to, you may use light pain medication to increase comfort during the treatment.
After treatment, you may experience slight redness on the area for up to an hour after the appointment, however, HIFU is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure and there is no downtime. You are able to return to normal activities immediately. A small percentage of client’s experience mild tenderness, swelling or muscle soreness in the treatment area during the hours to days following. Very rarely clients may also experience bruising.
