Take years off your skin with no fuss, no needles and no downtime…

Skin laxity is a problem that affects everyone as we age. Over the years, the effects of gravity, genetics, and environmental factors cause our skin to lose elasticity, resulting in a duller, sagging appearance. This process gradually leads to loose skin on the face, neck, and décolletage, often making us look older and more tired than we feel. However, with the advanced ULTRAcel Q device and HIFU treatment, you can combat these signs of ageing and restore a youthful appearance.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-surgical treatment that works wonders in tightening and lifting the skin. By targeting multiple layers of the skin, including the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer, located about 4.5mm beneath the dermis, HIFU treatment provides remarkable results that lift the skin and stimulate collagen production without damaging the surface of the skin. It is the next-generation solution for skin tightening, providing effective and lasting results without the need for surgery.

Unlike traditional procedures, HIFU uses focused ultrasound beams that converge under the skin at different depths to create thermal energy. This energy encourages the skin’s natural collagen production and restores the firmness and elasticity of the skin. The deep penetration helps rejuvenate the skin and muscles, leading to a visible lifting effect and more youthful contours. For those seeking a more intensive approach to skin rejuvenation, combining RF Microneedling with HIFU can deliver even more dramatic results. RF Microneedling , a device that uses fractional radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, can enhance skin tightening and improve texture, especially in areas with more pronounced laxity. When performed with the ULTRAcel Q device, these treatments provide unmatched precision and effectiveness.

What makes HIFU stand out from other skin tightening procedures

+ The HIFU treatment stands out because of its ability to penetrate deeper layers of the skin compared to other treatments. With the use of several handpieces, HIFU therapy can target specific depths based on the area being treated. Most significantly, HIFU is capable of reaching the SMAS layer, which is responsible for holding the muscle structure of the face in place. This deep penetration stimulates collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in long-lasting, effective results.

As well as providing a non-surgical lift to the skin, HIFU laser treatment has the added benefit of targeting stubborn pockets of fat, making it the perfect treatment for areas like the double chin, love handles, or post-pregnancy stomach. By creating thermal coagulation in the fat cells, HIFU causes permanent fat destruction, offering face and body contouring benefits as well.

Treatments typically take between 30 to 60 minutes, and since the procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime involved. After the treatment, you can immediately resume your normal daily activities. Many patients will notice a lifting effect after their first treatment, but the full benefits are usually visible after 2 to 3 months as the collagen production continues to work.

HIFU services we offer:

  • HIFU face: This treatment focuses on rejuvenating the facial skin, tightening and lifting areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and under-eye areas. It targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines and sagging. Ideal for those looking to lift and tone their facial features without surgery. ULTRAcel Q is the device used for this advanced procedure, ensuring precise targeting and maximum efficacy.
  • HIFU neck: Designed specifically for the neck area, this treatment helps tighten loose, sagging skin and reduces the appearance of neck lines. It effectively addresses the common problem of “turkey neck” and offers a smoother, more youthful-looking neck, using ultrasound technology to tighten both the skin and underlying muscle layer.
  • HIFU body: This treatment targets larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, where excess skin and stubborn fat are often present. HIFU body works by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin tightening, providing a smoother, firmer appearance while also addressing small pockets of fat.

Several high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) devices are available on the market, including Ultherapy, Microson, Doublo, Sofwave, and Ultraformer III, each designed for specific aesthetic or medical purposes.

HIFU technology can penetrate through multiple layers of the skin using several different hand pieces of different depths depending on the area to be treated. To be precise, HIFU can successfully reach the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer, which is located at the depth of around 4.5mm beneath the dermis (3.0mm) and epidermis (1.5mm). Therefore, HIFU not only tightens layers of the skin, but also the muscle layer, producing longer-lasting and more effective results.

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to the precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initialled. The treatment is fairly comfortable, and the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.

Many clients only require treatment; However, it does depend on the degree of skin laxity and the skin’s response to ultrasound energy and individual’s collagen-building process. Therefore, some clients may benefit from additional treatment. As the skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help clients keep up the pace with the body’s natural ageing process.

The HIFU procedure has been used safely in over 450,000 treatments worldwide. Ultrasound energy itself has been used safely within the medical field for 50 years.
