Clients may note some discomfort while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. However, this is temporary and a positive sign that the collagen building process has been initiated.

A client treated with HIFU will have a fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure and can continue up to another year depending on the condition of the skin. Future touchup treatments can help keep ahead of the natural ageing process, which varies with each individual. On average, HIFU results can last 2 to 5 years.

Treatment time varies on the area we are targeting. These treatments can be from 30 mins for one treated area to a 2.5 hr treatment time for a full face and neck to complete.

A HIFU is an 'uplift' not a 'facelift', it is not a replacement for surgery. It is a viable option for those not ready for a facelift or those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.

Patients may see an initial effect, but the ultimate lifting and toning will take place over 2 to 3 months as tired old collagen is replaced with new more elastic collagen. As this collagen building process continues further improvements can be seen over the six months following the procedure.

HIFU is a completely non-invasive procedure and as such there is no downtime. You can return to normal activities directly afterwards and there are no special measures you need to take.

HIFU deposits focused ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin directly targeting the muscle layer of the skin to contract, as well as stimulate the collagen production. As a result, the skin will actually lift tone and tighten over a period of time.

Absolutely, and as each client is individual, some will benefit from a combination approach to achieve their goals.
