The Hifu treatment works by penetrating the skin with ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deep dermal and subdermal levels, resulting in controlled injury to that tissue. As the tissue heals, it increases collagen as these collagen fibers organize and shorten, a tightening effect is seen in the skin. The treatment tightens the muscle layer as well as tightens the skin and boost collagen.

Hifu is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA to actually lift skin . It targets deep layers in the skin, it boosts new collagen production and collagen regeneration right at its source.

High intensity focused ultrasound can produce small, microthermal lesions at precise depths in the dermis up to the fibromuscular layer, causing thermal induced contraction of collagen and tissue

It is the only cosmetic procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to see the layers of tissue target during the treatment to ensure the energy is deposited to where it will be most beneficial

It is sometimes called the “Lunchtime Face lit” as the treatment is quick and tolerable with no down time

Unlike other machines on the market, HIFU Tighten & Lift uses ultrasound imaging to ensure the focused energy is delivered to the correct depths. These same machines on the market often deliver energy at an unnecessarily high level. This results in pain and increases the risk of facial fat loss and premature aging. Our unique layered method delivers focused ultrasound energy to multiple layers instead of just one strong single layer for improved results. The energy is delivered at multiple precise lower energy levels to ensure comfort without compromising results. This unique method avoids the risk of facial fat loss and premature aging while maintaining effectiveness

Treatments will vary from individual to individual according to requirements. A course of 3-5 treatments delivered at 4-8 weeks apart may be required to achieve the full effect.

Clients may witness some initial effect of tightening and firming, but ultimately lifting and firming will take place over approximately 3 months. Continued improvements can appear for up to 6 months.

Regardless of the service you choose, it is required to engage in a continuing skin regimen. Results should last at least 12-24 months. A good at home and in office regimen will prolong the longevity of the results and also slow down the aging processes in general. Single maintenance treatments may be required at 12 month intervals to preserve the initial effect.

Most people do not report pain. There can be a slight “zing” over bony areas or a warm sensation in the skin during treatment. No numbing is required.

The procedures takes 30 - 120 minutes depending on how many areas are treated. There is no downtime for most patients.

HIFU is a suitable procedure for anyone of any age. It is safe for all skin types as well. Great for maintenance and advanced aging cases. If sagging skin is severe, several rounds of treatment may be required.
