How does hifu work?
With HIFU, specific areas are targeted with high-intensity focused ultrasound technology.
Unlike lasers, the HIFU procedure targets directly into the deep structural tissues where the collagen lives.
When the cells in our skin reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. This is actually beneficial because it stimulates them produce more collagen which provides structure for healthy looking skin!
The high-frequency ultrasound waves cause minimal damage to the skin’s upper layers and adjacent tissue because they’re focused on a specific tissue site below.
*Results are best for patients over 30 with moderate skin laxity (skin firmness/structure).

What is Hifu Facial Treatment?
Our HIFU Facial Treatment in beauty field is the newest revolutionary technology which can continue to build results for up to 6 months. HIFU Facelift treatment offers results that last up to approx. three years.
HIFU uses a natural collagen stimulation technique to tone, tighten and rejuvenate.
HIFU Facelift treatment uses the skin’s natural collagen rejuvenation process to bring your skin’s youth back to life. Specific areas are easily targeted to achieve the best results.
When will i notice the results?
The most common areas to use HIFU are the face and neck. You can expect to notice your skin lifting and tightening with immediate effect, with ongoing results in the ensuing weeks.
Optimum results will be seen at 6-12 weeks, leaving you feeling smoother, brighter and firmer.
This will continue to improve for up to six months following your treatment.
Results last for between two and three years.
Are you dreaming of smoother, younger-looking skin without the hassle of surgery? You’re not alone. Many people seek to tighten their skin, improve its texture, and maintain a youthful glow. Non-surgical treatments like Thermage, Ultherapy, and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) have been gaining popularity as potential solutions for wrinkle reduction.
These technologies offer skin rejuvenation without invasive procedures, making them attractive options for those looking to refresh their appearance. But with so many choices, how do you know which treatment is right for you? Understanding how each one works is crucial for making an informed decision that meets your unique needs.
Understanding Thermage, Ultherapy, and HIFU Technology
The skin is composed of epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, each with distinct functions. The epidermis is the surface of the skin that serves as a protective barrier. The dermis, situated beneath the epidermis, contains collagen and elastin fibres. The subcutaneous tissue, or hypodermis, is the deepest layer, consisting primarily of fat and connective tissue. It acts as a cushion, insulating the body and providing energy storage.
Collagen, located in the dermis, is a vital protein that maintains the skin’s structure and elasticity. It forms a scaffold that provides strength and resilience, helping the skin remain firm and smooth. As we age, the production of collagen decreases, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles and saggy skin.
Treatments like Thermage, Ultherapy, and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) aim to address these concerns through non-invasive methods such as collagen stimulation in the skin.
Thermage
Thermage is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that utilises radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, specifically the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The RF energy causes controlled heating, which stimulates the production of new collagen and remodels existing collagen fibres. This process helps to firm and tighten the skin, which may reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. Thermage can be used on various areas of the face and body, including the eyelids, jawline, abdomen, and thighs.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a non-surgical procedure that employs focused ultrasound energy to target specific layers within the skin, such as the deep dermis and superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer. The ultrasound energy is delivered at precise depths, causing thermal coagulation, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This response may lead to the production of new collagen, which could result in skin lifting, tightening, and an overall improvement in skin texture. Ultherapy is commonly used to treat areas like the face, brow, neck, and décolletage, which can help lift and firm sagging skin. Additionally, Ultherapy provides real-time visualisation of the treatment area, allowing for precise targeting of the underlying tissues.
HIFU
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment known for its ability to penetrate deeper into the skin layers compared to similar treatments. HIFU delivers high-powered ultrasound waves that reach deep into the skin, including the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, a crucial structural component of the face. By targeting this layer, HIFU may stimulate collagen production and promote tissue tightening and lifting, which could contribute to a more defined facial contour and a reduction in sagging. HIFU is often used to treat skin laxity and may also be utilised for body contouring in areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
