HIFU Skin Tightening
HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) is an amazing non-invasive treatment that destroys fat cells, tightens, lifts and firms skin, and promotes the synthesis of new collagen and elastin. This treatment will help your skin maintain its natural, youthful glow and can be done on any part of the face, neck and body where there is skin laxity including stomach, thighs and arms. Book today for a consultation.
HIFU destroys 20-40% of fat cells in the area being treated in a single session, reducing the visible size of the targeted area. Some results may be seen immediately after treatment, with significant results usually seen after 12 weeks as the contents of the fat cells are gradually flushed away via the normal blood circulation and lymphatic systems. Results last 18 to 24 months due to natural depletion of collagen and elastin.
An initial consultation appointment is required to assess your requirements and treatment. 3 treatments over a 12 month period is generally recommended as it allows your skin to gradually respond to the collagen-stimulating effects of HIFU. The rejuvenating benefits become increasingly noticeable as collagen production increases.
We offer HIFU multi-session packages which is recommended to get the best results, although some results can be seen immediately after the first treatment.
Treatment areas include stomach, inner arms, thighs, brows, forehead, upper eye lid, crows feet, cheeks, double chin and jawline.
