HIFU – High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
HIFU is the latest, most sought after, non surgical treatment which is used for lifting the face and tightening the neck. It can also be used for body contouring due to its ability to dissolve fat and is especially good for loose upper arms or stubborn abdominal fat. And amazingly there is no down time.
Recent clinical studies discuss how HIFU is a safe, effective, and noninvasive procedure that can be used to improve facial wrinkles and skin laxity. It is particularly effective for clinical improvement in the jawline, cheek, and perioral areas.

How Does it Work?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) works by focussing ultrasound in a very specific and controlled way. The beam bypasses the surface of the skin and the heat is generated only at the point of focus to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. At the focal point the ultrasound beam can produce temperatures in excess of 50C for the breakdown of fat or 65-70C for the generation of new collagen in the skin. The SMAS layer of the face is targeted (this is the same layer surgeons target when preforming a face lift) and a controlled injury is created, this creates a wound healing cascade and as the tissue heals, it increases the collagen. The collagen fibres organise and shorten and a tightening and lifting effect is seen on the skin.
Most patients require one treatment, depending on the degree of skin laxity and advanced ageing, some patients may require 2 treatments.
