What is HIFU
The HIFU technology is unique. It has the ability to penetrate the dermis, epidermis, and the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer, which is deeper than all other non-invasive facial treatments.
SMAS is the layer that is tightened during conventional facelift surgery. Unlike surgery, HIFU is more affordable and requires no time off work. HIFU uses multiple beams of ultrasound, as individually the beams have no affect on the tissue.
However, where the beams converge is a point of thermal energy. Heating the tissue below the surface causes it to contract and tighten resulting in the strengthening of old collagen fibres and the production of new collagen fibres. As we grow older, collagen proteins begin to lose their integrity, which causes frown lines, crow's feet and a drooping/sagging neck. By tightening the SMAS layer and replenishing collagen this will tighten and tone the skin.
Generally 1 to 3 sessions are required. Improvements can be seen within the first 3-4 weeks, with further gains being reported 6 months post treatment. * Clients who have undergone the treatment can experience results lasting in excess of six months.
HIFU, how it feels
In terms of what to expect from HIFU, clients will feel a sensation similar to pins and needles or heat. This is not painful but can be uncomfortable in certain areas. Please rest assured we can adjust the settings to suit your individual pain threshold. Clients do report back of mild pain post treatment which subsides within 5-10 mins completely after the process has ended.
Results
The medical research does suggest that results can last up to 2 years but on average clients can realistically expect results to last as long as 18 months with improvements and ongoing development of collagen fibres for the first 6 months.*
